How do I obtain the Nightingale Armor?

I have seen this armor in Skyrim around the internet, and I have no idea how to get it. I think it may have something to do with Thieves Guild, but I don't know any more. How do I get this armor?


How do I disable machine sounds in IC2?

I'm getting an error that is making my game unplayable. > Error in class 'SourceLWJGL OpenAL > > Channel null in method 'stop' Some google searches show this is a error involving IC2 machine sounds, but I cannot find anything in the .cfg file to disable these sounds. How can I disable the machine sounds from IC2? My IC2 version is industrialcraft-2_1.116.364-lf, it is the most updated version of IC2 I'm aware of that I can use in my modpack (minecraft version 1.5.2), which is primarily **Unhinged** (some other mods added) Edit: I have since updated LWJGL incase that was the issue, it is not. The only way to 'fix' this I can find is to disable the sounds, and I cannot find how to do that. Edit2: I found a post on a forum that mentions disabling the sounds in the 'Advanced Machines' .cfg file. It says to do it by putting a **#** in front of several lines in the config to 'comment the lines out'. I understand this method, it's simple enough and isn't the first time I've had to do something like this. What I do is take the server offline, edit the config, and start the server back up. The issue now is that when I start the server back up, the config file _reverts back to its original state_. I have never had a config file behave this way and am completely stumped on how to prevent this from happening. I'm fairly sure that if I can get the config file to keep its edits, then the problem will be fixed. Any ideas? Edit3: I've figured out I was going about disabling the Advanced Machine sounds incorrectly, I have properly disabled them now, however the bug persists. Edit4: Some forum posts stated that lowering graphics to 'fast' from fancy or disabling sound from minecraft in its options works. Neither of these solutions work for me. I have also attempted disabling all sound from Gravisuite and that didn't work either. It is probably worth mentioning that I've been playing without changing anything in my files\settings for weeks without issue, and this has suddenly cropped up out of nowhere.


What armors come with the Falskaar mod?

## Images? Video? Either would be wonderful. I need to know before I download the mod.I'ma stickler for aesthetics, and how my PC looks. I want to see them and make my decision rather than find out later, and decide that I don't like them or something, which would be a waste of my time to even look for them. Making part of the mod just a disappointment since I know it doesn't exactly uninstall easily... I'll probably still try it if I don't like them... I just won't go looking for any armors, I guess. **I already know some of them of are recolors while others are new.** But I sat for a while trying to find video or images taken of the armors, but I couldn't. Not directly it seemed anyway.


What do the cherry blossom petals mean when they surround an enemy?

I hate myself for not getting a screen cap of it, but in the forest, there was a Icen with cherry blossoms floating all around it, for no apparent reason. I killed it without thinking, before being able to take any sort of screenshot to show it off. What does this special effect on an enemy signify?

Racial abilities in Lord of the Rings: War in the North

I'm playing as a Ranger in LOTR:WITN and from what I can tell, my racial ability is to be able to see "glowing footsteps" from other Rangers and find secret stashes. This has happened twice in about 6 completed missions. My brother-in-law is playing as the Elven mage and is able to collect plants etc to be used in crafting potions, and he's doing that all the time. The (AI- controlled) dwarf seems to have a battle cry of some sort which he performs 20 times a mission. It seems that I got hosed in the racial ability stakes, is that correct? Or am I missing something?


Can't call the Moon Shot after I killed the final boss?

After I killed the Warrior his dead body is between the green button and me and I cannot press the green button to call the Moon Shot to finish him off. I can see the green button but there isn't any dialog. How can I end the game and kill Jack?


How can I see my own profile while inside a game?

While I'm inside a game, I can see my achievements (pressing `Y` or from `esc` menu) and I can see my friend's achievements, and also their profiles. But I can't see my own profile? From the main menu I can see my own profile (play time for each character, equipment, skills etc) but not while I'm inside a game?


Used Xbox 360 won't turn on anymore

My son was given an Xbox 360 by a friend. They claimed it worked fine. However, when we got it all hooked up it only worked fine for a little while. Now we turn the power on and you can hear the machine trying to boot up but nothing at all comes on the screen. Is there some way to fix this?


Was Farore ever referred to as Fayore?

Most people who've played Zelda games I'm sure are aware of the three goddesses in Hylian mythology: Din, Nayru and Farore. But when I was a kid I remember Farore being spelled Fayore. I thought that's how the name was spelled for years, but then I saw people spelling it Farore all over the place and figured I was just mistaken. One day I was doing a Zelda related search and accidentally spelled her name Fayore, and noticed that I wasn't the only one who had thought it was spelled with a Y. For example, there's this thread on a message board, but no one can find any sources that spell it fayore, and if you do a google search for Fayore there are a ton of other one off matches. It seems like a lot of people at one point or another have misspelled the name as Fayore. That's a little too coincidental for me to think it's just poor spelling or poor memory on everyone's part. Is there any place in any of the Zelda games (Most likely OoT) that actually refer to Farore as Fayore? I figure there has to be, somewhere, in some version of one of the games. I can't seem to find any actual references to the name Fayore.


Can you play GTA 4 on PC?

One time, I went to my friend's house and saw him playing Grand Theft Auto 4 on PC. Can you do that? I tried downloading it on PC but they said on Google that Grand Theft Auto 4 can be only played on XBOX. Is that true?


How can I migrate my Atom Zombie Smasher saves to a Mac?

Atom zombie smasher is a great deal of fun, but it seems that other than smashing zombies it is also a good game for smashing my computer, as I get BSODs much too often while playing it. The issue I am facing is a known one, and I tried the official solution as described in the game's official forum. Sadly, when I tried to see if that actually alleviates my BSOD issues, the game would no longer recognize the profile I was playing with. It's still there, but the game won't load it (it gives some unhelpful error message when I try that). Since I was doing really well with that campaign, I'd hate to lose all my progress, so I thought I'd kill two zeds with one stone by moving my saves to my Mac, which should be immune to the BSOD issue, and still has the game's original executable, so I hope that it will load my save without making too much of a fuss. So, how do I go about moving my saves from a Windows machine to a Mac?


Is this a known issue in BIT.TRIP Beat?

I'm unsure if this is a shader issue with my video card, but my paddle is the exact same color as the majority of the background in Bit.Trip Beat. I had a similar issue with Bit.Trip Runner in which the obstacles I was supposed to jump weren't showing up. I was able to fix this by going into C:\Users[Name]\Local\Bit.Trip Runner and adding ForceFixedFunction = yes to the .cfg file. I tried this in Bit.Trip Beat to no avail. Long story short. Is this supposed to happen? If not, how can I fix this? ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/zMh6b.jpg) That's my paddle sticking out of the top of the pink blob. As you can see, this can easily become an issue as it makes my paddle **impossible** to see when the pink blob grows.

Dragon Warrior 2: Unable to get the water flying cloth

I'm playing Dragon Warrior 2. I've given the magic loom and the yarn to don mahone, but he always says he's not done. I've saved my deeds on the imperial scrolls, exited the game, and re-loaded my save but it always says he's not done.


Can I use a keyboard/mouse with Mass Effect 3 on PS3?

I've got a bluetooth mouse/keyboard set I use on my PS3. I know some (very few) games support keyboard/mouse use, and it seems like Mass Effect 2 did not support Keyboard/mouse on PS3. Can I use a mouse and keyboard to play Mass Effect 3 on PS3?


Are there any gameplay differences between the male and female Shepard?

I finished Mass Effect 2 on the hardest setting with both a male and female Shepard and I'm not sure which one I want to import first. Are there any differences for male and female Shepard in Mass Effect 3 **_BESIDES_** possible love interests? Any pros/cons?


Will I miss out on anything by not playing Mass Effect 3's multiplayer?

Following on from Does the Mass Effect 3 multiplayer component has any effect on the Single Player component and vice-versa? If I choose not to play the multi-player aspect of Mass Effect 3 and stick to the main single-player story, will I miss out on any single-player content? Will there be an alternate ending that I'll be denied? Or is it more like Mass Effect 2, where you don't have to recruit and make loyal all of the companions, but it makes things easier and more satisfying in the final mission if you do? Background, I've played 1 and 2 on the PC, and am going to be continuing with that game on the PC for 3, but don't like the PC multi-player experience and will be sticking to single-player there. I'll also be getting ME3 on the Xbox where all my online gaming friends are, so will be doing multi-player there.

How do I get all parts of my HUD to stick around in DX:HR

So, I'm pretty sure when I started playing DX:HR, the display for my "hotbar," or 1-0 keys, was constantly around as long as I wasn't at Sarif Industries. Yet now, later in the game, I'm noticing that it fades out after a few seconds wherever I am, and only re-displays when I change items. I have a terrible memory. I can't remember which item is tied to which number key. How do I get this thing to stick around and stop disappearing? Couldn't find anything that seemed to fit in the options menu, so I'm assuming it's a keyboard shortcut I accidentally hit...


Pixel Poro - What do the gems / hearts do?

Riot has released Pixel Poro, a minigame with pong-like mechanics to coincide with Braum's release. On some points a red poro flys briefly across the screen, like this: ![Red Poro](http://i.stack.imgur.com/X7s8U.png) If you can get the white poro to pass through the red poro, you get a gem/heart: ![Poro Heart](http://i.stack.imgur.com/mtCeH.png) The interface looks like it accommodates 3 gems, but I can't get more than one. Getting a single gem doesn't appear to influence the game. What is the point of the gems? Does something special happen if you get 3?

What modes of multiplayer are present in Mass Effect 3?

Reading through some of the questions popping up on this site, I'm starting to question if maybe there is more to Mass Effect 3's multiplayer than I originally thought. I had been under the impression that the multiplayer was simply storyline co-op play. Is this not the case? What are the different modes of multiplayer available in Mass Effect 3?


Dota 2 matchmaking server priority

In Dota 2 when you select more than one server region and start the matchmaking, the background image has only US West server colored. Is that actually a map bug or does the game really search the US West server first and then other locations? Or are they all grouped together?


Cursed earth from extra utilities does not spawn mobs

I have my custom minecraft **v1.6.4** mod pack with following mods: full list. The thing is that I want to create mob spawner based on cursed earth: dark room with grinders from MFR and stuff. But the strange thing appeared to me - when I performed ritual to activate division sigil - no mobs were spawned... at all... after lightning stroke, cursed earth appeared but without any mobs. And when I prepared spawner, placed cursed earth and turned off the light - nothing happened. Room is completely dark but no mobs are spawning. I looked extra utilities config file, but found no settings to activate/deactivate/allow/disallow mob spawning on cursed earth. What could be the problem in? P.S. Also the other issue is that cursed earth starts to burn with white lamp from project red 4 blocks above. In this let's play dw20 has 3 blocks of space between lamp and soil and everything is fine. I have Extra Utilities **v1.0.1**. Maybe should I just update it to newer version? P.P.S. Well, I updated extra utilities to newest version ( **1.0.3c** ) at a time - it didn't help.


Does poison go away over time or do I have to cure it?

Gah, spiders! I've just been poisoned by a big one. I _do_ have the ingredients to make anti-venom, but I'm also in quite a safe place at the moment (well, apart from all the giant spiders). Can I let my minotaur soak up the poison for a set time and then rest to regain the health, or do I _have_ to use an anti-venom potion to cure him?


How do I unlock more Break types?

I noticed the Tutorial guy (sitting on the pumpkin) has an option to let you change break type. It's greyed out. I've been getting Lucky Dolls but haven't unlocked a new Break type yet. I haven't yet beaten the game (I'm replaying to unlock all normal stages/times). How do I unlock more Break types?

Are there list of quests that might be unable to complete?

I helped defend Whiterun (Imperial) and after few minutes I have received a Letter of Inheritance and 90 gold because Severio Pelagia died. I don't remember this guy, so I searched for him at the Elder Scrolls Wikia and found out that because of that I will have problems with some quests. Are there a list of such quests that you **"must-do-before-something** " or it will become unable to complete?


Where can I get something better than a Bronze Edge for Frog?

I've finally managed to rescue Frog from his sulking with a really expensive gift. However, he can't use that gift. For that matter, I'm having trouble finding something he _can_ use. I travelled all the way to 65,000,000 BC to get him better armour and magic powers in the process, but he won't touch that Flint Edge. He doesn't care about 1,000 AD Red Katanas, either. As for AD 2,300... it's a _looong_ way to the item seller and I'd rather not travel it for naught. Frog's now locked into my party, but he's underleveled (level 19 vs others' level 21, but that's what grinding is for) and underequipped (a very worrying 43 damage to my 70 or Robot's 74.) Okay, I know he _can_ wield an Iron Edge, but I moved it to me and then sold it ASAP and the seller has updated his stock after I... lent him a hand in the castle. Whooops. What can I do?


What is maximum-DPS level 80 PvE Shadow Priest spell priority as of patch 4.0.1?

# That was then Prior to the 4.0.1 patch, I would start boss fights like so:   1. Vampiric Touch   2. Devouring Plague   3. Mind Blast   4. Mind Flay   5. Shadow Word: Pain This would "charge up" stacks of buffs for my Shadow Word: Pain to have maximum damage output for the rest of the fight (Shadow Word: Pain stays up whenever you cast Mind Flay). Assuming the boss was a boring _Sit There And Shoot At It_ fight, the rest of the fight involved spell priorities as follows:   1. Keep up Vampiric Touch   2. Keep up Devouring Plague   3. Mind Blast when it's available   4. Mind Flay for filler * * * # This is now With the 4.0.1 patch, all of this appears to have totally changed. I no longer seem to have to "charge up" my Shadow Word: Pain buff stacks, and new Shadow Orbs are flying all over the place. It's craziness! How do I make most effective use of these new talents and mechanics?


Was there anything different past beating zelda twice?

In the original zelda things were wildly different on your 2nd playthough, I always wanted to but never managed to keep a NES/zelda cartridge/battery long enough to go far enough past a 2nd playthough to look for more cool changes. Did I miss anything? I could swear before I was old enough to really remember I saw something before I got the NES or zelda at someone's house that I never found playing it through about 2.5 playthroughs.


Is there a Game Over?

Will there be anytime where I will be "Game Over"? That I will have to start back from nothing, because I lost everything or someone ended the game?


What level is advised to play Mass Effect's Bring Down The Sky DLC?

Mass Effect's free DLC (on the PC at least) Bring Down the Sky, adds a new system right by the Citadel, Local System and the starter planets of Feros and Noverria. Is it possible/realistic to play this DLC straight away as a starter character, or should I wait until I've levelled up a bit? If so, what level will it still be a challenge at? I don't want to come back to it at level 50 and find that I can just stroll through it without a challenge. Is there a rough range of levels where this is possible but still a fun (rather than frustrating) challenge?

How do I complete or skip the tutorial on tiny death star?

I just started playing the game on my dell windows 8 and have four floors, one of which is residential.

Can't play new unlocked trails

While playing Nimbus I got the message I unlocked a new trail. I can see it show up on the map, but I can't access it in any way. Can I only access those levels at a later time, or is this a bug?


How does damage scale with distance fired?

In TF2, when you fired weapons, there were three "ranges", long range, mid range, and close range. Shooting enemies from long range resulted in extremely low damage (exception Sniper), mid range resulted in medium damage, and close quarters yielded the highest damage. In CS:GO however, does damage scale with distance fired? In other words, if I fire a bullet at long range, compared to a bullet up close, will the two do completely different amounts of damage? Or is there no scale, and all bullets do the same damage?


How can I get Battlefield 3 to play nice as a Steam shortcut?

I put the shortcut to BF3 into Steam. I load it, and Steam immediately places me from 'In non-Steam game' to 'Online' as the battlelog page loads. I think it's to do with that weird online server browser. I'm sure I've seen people on my friends list load it up and have it stay up. Is there some command line thing I need? Summary: How can I make BF3 act like a normal non-Steam game in Steam? Even better, is there a way to get rid of the stupid web page loading and have it in game or something?


Would I lose the "Hurry up, it's raid night" after I earned it?

Okay. **This is a silly question** but I have to know. I recently completed the campaign in normal difficulty and got the achievement. I, now, want to get the brutal quests done. Is there a possibility that I play the same campaign missions on brutal over and over again and exceed the 8 hour limit for the achievement thus lose the achievement I already have?


Is it wise to try unrecognized pills that I find?

While playing the game "The Binding of Isaac", one occasionly finds pills. I know that the different effects those pills can posses are mentioned here, and that in each game-run there are only 6 different types avaliable. I saw that some of these effects are negative. My question: Is it more beneficial to try new pills, and risk the negative effects, or should I avoid them? And when is the preferrable time to try them? (for example, before/after/during a combat?) I guess the answer is highly related to how common are the negative pills (for example, if I knew that negative pills spawn at 70%, I will never try any unrecognized pill), but might also factor terms as:   * The current stats of my charcter (for example, if I knew that negative pills usualy hurt health, I won't try a pill while low on health, or before a big fight).   * The current level (for example, it might be wise to try new pills only on early levels).   * The other pills found (for example, if I knew that every game-run spawn exactly 1 type of a negative pill). Is there anyone with good statistics or good intuition about this?

How to win the pike proving ground?

Even though I upgraded my Brusher's Pike to level 5, I still can't seem to get the 1st prize in Camp Dauncy, the Pike's proving ground. My best is 10 seconds later than the threshold. I know that I don't have to kill all the pincushions and that I can throw the pike to clear multiple pincushions in a row, but I still can't make it. Are there any other tips on how to win it, or perhaps even a precise guide?

Should I finish FFXIII before beginning FFXIII-2?

I got Final Fantasy XIII when it came out, and played up to the beginning of Chapter 8 before real life pulled me away. Being the impulsive spendaholic that I am, I have now purchased Final Fantasy XIII-2. My question is, should I go back to and finish the original before beginning on the sequel? Am I to expect major spoilers in XIII-2 that could seriously impact my enjoyment if/when I eventually return to XIII?


Playing Skyrim on Dual Screen Setup?

I have recently upgraded my PC to a dual-screen setup. One of my monitors is now 1920x1080 and the other is 1280x1024. I would like to play Skyrim on the 1920x1080 monitor, while doing web browsing, etc on the second monitor - in a way similar to how SW:TOR works with dual screen systems. I've looked in the options, but there doesn't seem to be any obvious way to accomplish this. Can anyone help?


Is atheism a bad choice?

During character creation, I'm allowed to choose a god to worship, all of which grant different permanent game bonuses. One of the options is to worship no god, which yields a paltry 1% experience bonus, by far the weakest of the options. If this source for the experience/level progression is correct, that only amounts to 19,480 of 1,948,000 experience by level 40 (max level), which even by that point is only about 1/8th of a level. With such a small bonus, you'll barely level faster than followers of gods, and the cap effectively means that at max level, you no longer have a bonus relative to them, seemingly make this a poor choice. Is there any other gameplay or story benefit beyond that character creation benefit for not worshipping a god, such as extra availability of quests or not having some opposing god's followers hate you, or anything like that?


Skyrim flashing launching screen

My question is basically when trying to loading Skyrim via Steam, the "preparing to launch" screen flashes on and off over and over, I have tried removing all my mods, I have tried reinstalling the game completely, I have tried removing the .ini files. The only way that I am able to get the game running is by running it in offline mode. I am assuming this is an issue with Steam opposed to Skyrim! If anyone else knows what can cause this I'd really appreciate it.

How to stop Steam from showing all free games in library

It appears that Steam has made a change so that all Free-to-Play games now show up in your library regardless of whether you have requested them. This really clutters up the library and makes it hard to find the games I actually do want to install. I know I can limit my library to just installed games, but I'd rather have it go back to the way it was, only showing games I have purchased. Is there any way to do that?

How can I turn off the fast walking ability in the smart moving mod?

How many Deus Ex Human Revolution Missions Have A Time Limit?

I've just started playing Deus Ex: Human Revoution, and the very first non- opening mission that I got had a time limit for starting it proper, with major consequences for dallying too long. I really don't want to get anybody in a tight spot in this game, so is this a one-off thing, or are there more missions that will punish me for leaving them to rust forever? And if so, how many of these missions can I not leave on the backburner for too long?


How do you cook up a cloning potion?

> Cloning potion: There's a little bit of candies in everyone of us. This is > actually a physical law of our universe. Now, candies are a very malleable > material. These two facts led us to the realization of this cloning potion. > The potion will copy your inner structure and make a clone of you almost > entirely made of candies (there's a bit of water, too). > > Steps: Burn the water in your cauldron. Then, while it's still burning, add > as many candies as you can. It's simple: the more candies you put, the more > potions you'll get! (be sure to put a minimum quantity though) These steps are incredibly vague. So how _do_ you make a cloning potion? I have already dumped many candies in the cauldron to no avail. So how do you make one?


Do you need Xbox Live Gold to play GTA V with Rockstar Social Club?

When I try to take a selfie in GTA V, or look at some leaderboards of some events, I get a warning that "Xbox Live is not available (or not supported) for your account". The strange thing is, I have an Xbox Live account and I am logged in it, but the game still gives me the warning. Do I need to buy Xbox Live Gold membership to get rid of it, or am I doing something wrong? P.S. I do have attached my Xbox 360 gamer tag to my Social Club account.


Why is the horned helmet representative of dragonborn?

You know the helmet I'm talking about. It has horns on it. It's famous. So this helmet is low quality armor. I've played through the game a couple of times and I'm not even sure I've seen it. But so many youtube videos, meme images, and so on feature it as sort of a mascot for skyrim. Why? And where did this association come from? Is it one of those unfortunate instances where something that happens at the beginning of a game (encountering the helmet) becomes representative because a majority don't play through past a couple hours?

How can Voldo safely close distance against Hilde?

Against Hilde, who has an extremely long spear that she likes to stab you with from across the level, I've been having trouble getting in close enough to deal damage. Against many players, 236A+B is a solid choice because it is a long-ranged low, but skilled players can block this on reaction and punish you pretty hard for it, not to mention that Hilde keeps you so far away that even this probably would come short anyway. The crouching 3[A+B] is easily sidestepped, and leaves you just as open. Are all Voldo's long-range moves like this unsafe? I know throwing out random moves in general is not a good practice, but is there some string of attacks that will _safely_ close distance? Does Voldo have a move with a secondary Guard Impact effect that will counter Hilde's long-range thrusts?


What is a good strategy for getting the Versatile Killer achievement?

For getting it, you need to kill enemies in 5 different ways within 30 seconds. What would be a good strategy for doing that? Is there an area with a lot of enemies so I can try until I get it?

What are all the ways you can kill people, and how many Darkness Points are given by each?

Help I'm trapped in an infinite loop and I can't get out

Like a complete genius, I put this in the `startup` program:               while true do       shell.run("power")     end      Which seemed fine at the time, except now I need to edit something. Here's the fun part: when I try to terminate the program, it will terminate `power`, and then immediately restart it. The turtle has a label, so breaking him will not work, and I'm on a SMP server, so I don't have access to the files. Help?


What is an Enrage timer?

How can I distinguish which gun a medic is using?

When being healed by a medic, the name of the gun the medic is using appears below the players name. This was previously useful for knowing what charge would be deployed by the medic. However, since name tags have become more prevalent, the _custom_ name of the weapon appears below the players name. This has lead to some awkward situations where I was expecting an ubercharge, only to be destroyed by a sentry as I wielded an inefficient kritz. It's fairly cumbersome to have to ask each medic what charge they have, and, while it does work, isn't particularly ideal. Are there any auditory or visual clues I can use to determine which medic gun I am being healed by if it has a custom name applied?


Testing maps with Starcraft 2 starter edition

I have a friend who wants to work on a SC2 custom map, and I figured I'd help him out since I loved playing around with the old Warcraft editor. Blizzard's take on starter edition users using the map maker seems to be "do it, just don't expect an easy test button or publishing." However I can't seem to find any other way to test custom maps. Is there a way to do it?


Is it a glitch for shadowed areas to slowly brighten in Skyrim?

While playing Skyrim, I've noticed many problems with shadows, for instance, sometimes, a shadow will form strips instead of a solid area on shadowed surfaces. I've been ignoring such issues assuming them to be due to using a Laptop with 4GB RAM and an ATI Mobility Radeon 5000 series card and an Intel Core i5 2.40 GHz dual core. I'm running Windows 7 64 bit. This is quite on the low end, I should think. I've got no mods installed and I have set the graphics to medium. Furthermore, I've turned off Anisotropic Filtering and Antialiasing. I haven't touched the advanced settings. I've also reduced the resolution to 1280 x 720. The game is very playable for the most part. Now that you have the background, on to the real issue. I've noticed that when looking from a bright area to a dark area, for instance, when looking from the candle-lit area around a dining table to the shelves around the back, the area is horribly dark and things are barely visible. Things then proceed to get brighter and come into view. This is comparable to the real world effect of coming into a dark room from the sunlight and having things come into view as your eyes adjust. So, is this really just an eye-adjustment simulation (Skyrim is epic!) or a glitch? If it is a glitch, are there any good ways to fix it? Google was most uncooperative, though it may just be that I'm a bit rusty at digging out information like this.

How can I check if Diablo III works on a friend's computer?

After watching me play, my brother would also like to purchase the game, but he has an older laptop, and cannot be sure that the game will be playable and/or have an acceptable frame rate. I badly want him to try it, but he (perhaps rightly) can't justify spending the money until he can verify that it would run acceptably. I bought a _digital_ copy of Diablo III, and consequently wasn't given any _Guest Pass_ keys for him to play the Starter Edition. **What are our options?** I can only think of one: re-download the game on his laptop, and sign in with my account. However, I'd prefer if I avoid this, lest there are any restrictions on number of activations, etc.


Level 2: "Four clever characters"

Obviously, I found out my own solution to level 2 and even finished the whole game. What is constantly puzzling me, is the hint from the level description:                 Well, it looks like they're on to us. The path isn't as       clear as I thought it'd be. But no matter - four clever       characters should be enough to erase all their tricks.      The hint **specifically mentions four characters** Did someone solve it by using only 4 characters? because my solution looks like this: > var player = map.getPlayer();   >  map.placeObject(player.getX()+2, player.getY(), 'exit');

What is going to happen to HHA?

What is going to happen to HHA? Will restarting my town cause the houses in HHA to disappear? I thought they might stay because these gamers are connected to your streetpass right?

How does weapon damage work?

I have noticed that in the multiplayer, the weapon customization meters are not reliable. For instance the harrier rifle on level one has a decent amount of damage per second when the weapon customization chart would indicate otherwise. Is there a way of actually quantifying the damage like the powers. Is there an online source like a wiki that has this information?

If you use cheats is it impossible to beat Sephiroth in the final fight?

When I was a wee lad I use to love playing Final Fantasy 7. Well, at some point I decided to use some cheat codes the first time playing it through. When I got to the final battle it was absolutely impossible to win. I think I played it for like 30 minutes in this one battle until I died. I tried this numerous times, also. Then I started over with a fresh game and didn't use any cheat codes. I won the final battle I think on the second trial. So is the final battle actually impossible when using cheat codes or was it just chance that I beat it when I didn't use cheat codes?

How to tell Clementine the truth about Lee's past?

In episode 2, my Lee and Carley talk about who knows about Lee's criminal past. I told her that Larry knows. My Lee then said something along the lines that Clementine might know, though he lied. I was confused since I thought I told Clementine the truth. I suspect it was the conversation with Clementine after Carley confronted Lee about his past back in episode 1 that controls this outcome. What do I have to say to Clementine in episode 1 for Lee to say in episode 2 that he did not lie?

Blacklight: Retribution XP required per Level?

I have been playing some Blacklight: Retribution recently and can't seem to find (either on the wiki or in-game) **how much XP is required to advance to the next level**. Is it the same amount for each level? Does it scale? Is there a certain playstyle that'll net me more XP per match?


Was Veigar's Event Horizon hotfixed?

In patch V1.0.0.141 released on June 17, 2012, Riot fixed Veigar's stun: it used to only stun every 0.25 sec so that if a champion dashed through it, it had a chance to not stun the champion. The fix was to ensure that a champion dashing through Event Horizon is stunned in place. But today, an enemy Riven, Graves and Ahri were all jumping in and out of my stun without getting stunned! So did they fixed Event Horizon or not?


How do you get a bloodthirsty medal with a crossbow?

In order to get gold camo for the crossbow, one of the challenges is that you need to get a bloodthirsty medal using only the crossbow. A bloodthirsty medal is obtained by getting 5 kills in a row, without dying. I have been trying to get this for a long time. Attempting to use the crossbow without the tri-bolt attachment to get the medal is extremely difficult. I instead have been trying to use scavenger with the tri-bolt attachment. I still have had no luck. What is the easiest way to complete this challenge?

Do fire extinguishers count as 'explosives'?

I finished The Missing Link recently, without firing a shot, throwing a grenade or mine, or using a Praxis Point. I thought this would qualify me for the Factory Zero achievement, which follows: "You survived The Missing Link using no Praxis kits, weapons, or explosives. Whoa." I didn't get the achievement, though. I'm wondering if this is maybe because an enemy got hit by an errant fire extinguisher or explosive barrel at some point. (I can't seem to leave them be) Can anyone confirm or deny this for me?

BF3 Mortar kills

When mortaring, there is always the risk of being mortared back, so it's a good idea to keep mobile i.e. mortar, then move and redeploy. Now, when you move and kill someone with a mortar, it displays as (in my case) AlbortoTobor [KILLED] , as opposed to AlbortTobor [M224 MORTAR]. So, do these instances of [KILLED] still count towards the mortar tally...?


Can you lose a purchased horse in Skyrim?

If you buy a horse in Skyrim, is it possible to lose it? If so, what are the scenarios for loss? (can it killed? If you leave it somewhere and lose it, do you have to go find it, will it ever "despawn", etc). I'm trying to decide if it's worth the 1000 gold.

Do different cars have different performance characteristics?

After completing a series of single player mini-games in Supersonic Acrobatic Rocket-Powered Battle-Cars, you are given more cars to choose to drive. Do the various cars perform differently, or do they all behave the same way and only have visual (aesthetic) differences? I don't see anything in the interface to suggest that they are unique, but why would it progressively open up more cars as you complete the mini-games, if they don't matter to the game play? Wikipedia states that they aren't supposed to have unique stats, but do "behave slightly different." Has anyone figured out what that difference is, if any?


How do I activate Kingdom of Amalur's online pass on the PC?

It is well known that Kingdoms of Amalur is one of the many games that employ the online pass method of encouraging new purchases (and for making more off of used copies). Snooping around the internet before purchasing the game, I noticed that on the Xbox (I imagine the same holds for the PS3) the code needs to be redeemed via the Marketplace as can be seen in the following instruction leaflet: ![unlocking leaflet](http://i.stack.imgur.com/dCRJy.jpg) When I launched the copy I recently bought through Steam, I saw a "multiplayer" key code pop up, but it apparently has nothing to do with the online pass (and the game didn't prompt me to enter a code at any point so far). On EA's own FAQ for the game, I found the following quote in regards to the availability of the N7 inspired armor in the game (the last sentence is phrased badly on the source as well): > Your N7 armour in Reckoning is unlocked automatically with your online pass, > available in all new copies of Reckoning, or by purchasing the Reckoning > online pass on PSN, XBL . It unlocks with automatically with your PC > registration code on Origin or Steam. This possibly hints that there is no need for unlocking the online pass protected content on a new PC copy, but sadly the above is far from an explicit statement on the matter (all other mentions on the FAQ regarding the online pass are Xbox/PS3 centric). So, how does one unlock the online pass content on the PC (specifically, with a Steam copy), if that is at all required? Also, if such unlocking is indeed implicit, what is my online pass bound to? My Steam account, perhaps?

Improving your chances of locking someone out with ECM

SO I'm in a corp with a bunch of miners, and we've just been war decced by a one-man corp. Most of our skills are focused on the industry and mining side of things, with not a lot of attention paid to the combat side. Since we're all a bunch of rather low-sp players, my first thought was to use ECM to give us an advantage, but I'm having a little trouble understanding how it works. I get that it's based on chance, based on your ECM strength and the sensor strength of your target, but does it stack? Meaning, do our chances of locking a guy out improve if we can get multiple people to jam a target with multiple racial jammers or multispec?


Is it possible to get 120 stars on the Android version of Crayon Physics Deluxe?

The last level of Crayon Physics Deluxe requires 120 stars to unlock. This means you have to play through every level in the game and obtain both an Elegant solution and an Old School solution for each of them. For many of the latter levels (and even a few of the earlier ones) this seems to be impossible. A quick search online indicates that people have been modifying the game's XML files to lower this number to a more reasonable number (and apparently the ability to play online, though this does not appear to be possible on the Android version of the game), but is the 120 stars actually achivable without cheating on Android?


Candy Crush Saga Game Strategy

**My Observation and understanding of the game** I have been playing this game since a week-ten days. I some how feel the candies are not randomly generated, I also understand there are multiple variations of each level so that if played multiple times we get different starting of that level (that's what i have noticed). **My struggle** I am struggling at "clear the jellies" and "bring down the ingredients" levels after 25. They getting tougher and tougher taking too many lives to complete them **My Question** Since this is a puzzle game and I hope and believe its not just the luck what we should rely on but some strategy to complete it. What kind of strategy should I adopt? Right now I am focusing on making special candies and clear the rows or columns by making stripe candies every now and then I get lucky to make color candie and its mostly luck that I get a wrapper candie


How to test mechanics

How can I test certain mechanics (for example whether Manta Style gets you out of Treant Protector's ultimate). Currently what I do is host a game, get a friend to play the other side, set to appropriate levels via cheats, and then test. This though always requires 2 players involved. How do I do it solo? I tried for example "-spawnhero Treant Protector", but either he wasn't spawned, or I couldn't find him, so that was useless to me. I know there has to be a way, since the DotaCinema MythBusters does similar tests, but how?


Why can't I siege Reindi Castle?

I'm Khergit Rebels. They're Rhodoks. My faction relation is -100, and my relationship with the lord inside is -17. We've been at war for nearly a year. But when I click on the castle, it only gives me two options: hail the guard and talk to the asshole inside... or leave. Why? One of my fellow Khergit Rebels is also here, and Reindi says [Under Siege] on the map. Is my buddy already building the ladders or something? I wanna start this thing NOW.


Interdimensional redstone circuitry in tekkit-lite?

I am building a gigantic horizontal quarry consisting of more than 5000 redstone tube frames and block breakers, all this in a mystcraft dimension. I used to remotely control the bc quarries i have there using redstone energy cells, but how am i going to control (temporarily turn off) this monster from the overworld? Is there any possibility of interdimensional redstone signal exchange in tekkit-lite? Or any 1.4.7 mod i could add to achieve this? This is the monster. ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/tIq9t.jpg) Btw. this eats an extreme amount of RAM when activated, it should probably be smaller.


How do you unlock Eye and Teeth operations?


Does an open Pokémon database exist?

I've noticed that there's no good smartphone-friendly Pokédex available online, and with Nintendo banning Pokédex apps in the Android Market one would be nice to have. So I plan to make a smartphone-friendly web-based one. The question is, where do I get the data? Is there any kind of RESTful or even downloadable raw Pokémon database out there?


How do the TF2 pets work?

The medic and engineer pets are supposed to heal/repair as their special ability, but is it affected by anything? Does upgrading the attack power of the medic/engineer improve their heal/repair rates? Also, is it possible to obtain a new one if you upgraded the pets wrong?


Are Dungeon Defenders saves cross-platform?

I just bought Dungeon Defenders on PC, and its ridiculously awesome, so I'm considering buying it on iOS as well. Is there any way I would be able to transfer my heroes from the PC version to the iOS version, and back again? My iPod is jailbroken and I know how to access its filesystem, so its mostly a matter of what to copy where, and whether or not they're compatible.


Survival Horror and Boss Rush?

In the "how to play" section of the help and options screen, there is a page that depicts two "extra game modes", Survival Horror and Boss Rush. I expected the two modes to be on the start screen, but I cannot seem to find them. Are these two game modes only offered once the game is completed, or after a certain part of the story?


In Space Quest 1 VGA (not EGA) can you end the game with the cartridge? This ending plays out as mine did, see 1:34: > "Now, if you'd only been smart enough to bring along the data cartridge > containing the construction specifications, we'd be able (to) build a new > Star Generator, thereby saving Xenon from the horrors of a rapidly cooling > planet. Oh, well. You are just a janitor."


Does any patch injector support Skyrim post 1.4?

I finally got Skyrim to update this morning to allow mods, but now when I run the game on 1080x5760 with eyefinity everything is messed up. Prior to 1.4 I used the patch described on Wide Screen Gameing Forum (HaYDeN solution) and everything was fine. However post 1.4 the patch does not appear to fix my display anymore. Is there a new patch/method that will fix the UI?

How long does it take for an expansion to become an advantage?

When you expand, you sacrifice the "strength of your army" (i.e. tech + army units) for a while. What is this duration? To illustrate what I mean, here's a makeshift graph of 1-base production versus a 1-base into expansion production: ![cool graph](http://i.stack.imgur.com/v2sYa.png) My question is: How long is that green line? How can you measure it / calculate it? The paragraph-style description of the graph is: While you save for the expo, your army is not getting stronger. When you build the expo, you can continue to produce on 1-base, but you will be behind the cost of the expo. Once the expo is up, your income will gradually increase, allowing production to accelerate. At some point the acceleration will elevate you past the point you would have been if you stayed on one base. I have a very hard time sensing this moment in the game. It's easy to feel when income increases, but hard to know when the expo actually led to a stronger army relative to if you hadn't expanded. There are a lot of factors that influence the answer of course, but they can be ignored as follows:   * What race are you? For example if you're terran, you can benefit just by building an orbital command and summoning MULEs. Or just double-producing SCVs. _Assume building right at the expo location as this is more general. If you're protoss, assume that you build a pylon at the expo, but that you needed it anyway so it's not really a cost of expanding._   * Will you need gas geysers? _Ignore gas, because the geysers cost minerals but return gas, and cannot be compared. It would be a separate graph entirely._   * How many workers can you transfer, how saturated was the base where they're coming from, how far is the transfer? _Assume transferring a practical handful of 5-8 workers. If you are transferring more, then there's not much question: you apparently NEED to expand regardless of the return, because you're over-saturated._   * How many resources are remaining in your other bases? _similar to the last item, if you are desperate to expand, then it's not really necessary to calculate when it will be advantageous_   * Unit producing structures you must create in order to . _This could actually be considered as part of the cost to expand, however it can also be ignored because the goal here is only to find point 4 (on the graph). Beyond that is not so important, because you know you're benefitting._ So the idea is to get a general sense of "+/-30 seconds, how long is this duration?" I think this would be helpful making in-game decisions, calculating riskiness of expanding (balancing need versus risk of being attacked during the green line), for developing new builds and considering FE, or making in-game adaptations. Or just plain curiosity.


Movement and digging/mining speed

I have noticed that when falling/climbing on ladders/submerged in water/swimming while mining/digging/chopping wood the speed at which blocks are destroyed is greatly reduced. What kinds of movement specifically cause this slowdown, and to what degree? **Edit:** Because in retrospect it wasn't entirely clear: What kinds of movement do _not_ cause a slowdown?

Is there a way to update skill training without the EVE client?

I'm not going to be home for the next two weeks, so I was wondering if there's any way to change the skill training of your pilot in EVE online without actually having the client.

How does protecting trade work in Conquest of Paradise?

In my current game, I'm playing as Bohemia and I own colonial provinces in North America. Until the recent patch 1.4, released together with Conquest of Paradise, I used light ships to “protect trade” in Chesapeake Bay. Bu after the patch, my colonies were converted to separate colonial nations. Now, when my fleet is in Europe, I can't even select the option to protect trade in Chesapeake Bay. But when I move my fleet there, I can now select that option, but it deselects itself after one day. Note that I also have a trader in Chesapeake Bay. Even more confusing is the new Western Europe trade node: it behaves the same as Chesapeake Bay to me, but apparently some AI countries managed to have their fleets there (they are listed in the node screen). So, my question is, can I send my ships to protect trade in trade nodes where I only have colonies or in the Western Europe trade node, which doesn't have any provinces at all? If I can do that, how? (I didn't actually have the Conquest of Paradise DLC, these changes are from the 1.4 patch.)

Can you pause the game in Starbound?

I was playing Starbound single player, and had to step away from the computer for a while. I hit `Esc` button and wandered away - a menu came up and so I assumed this had paused the game. When I returned, I was starving to death! **Can you pause the game in Starbound? If so, how?**

How to farm spruce trees indoors?

I don't understand how to make an indoor spruce tree farm. I know that with regular oak they just need to be next to a torch. I read somewhere that having two spaces between spruce saplings should work. I tried that and it didn't work. Is there something wrong with this design? How can I farm spruce indoors?               st0st0     000000     000000     st0st0         * `s` - spruce sapling   * `t` - torch   * `0` - just a block, either stone or dirt Note: I am not in front of my game, so I'm writing this from memory. The trees I'm talking about are the ones that grow in the snow. They usually grow really tall with no branches.


Can you combine mutagens in The Witcher 2?

I know you can sometimes spontaneously create them when performing alchemy if you have the skills, and I'm constantly picking up lesser variants off of dead enemies. However, since mutagens are not reverseable or upgradeable once they've been applied, is there any actual use to the lesser mutagens? It would be nice, and also fit into the alchemy system if you could somehow combine lesser mutagens into higher level ones but I certainly have not seen this ability anywhere in the game?


How can I optimize Teemo's role in a teamfight?

I prefer to play Teemo as an AP with Attack Speed items such as Nashor's Tooth and I was wondering what his role is in a teamfight. He doesn't do a lot of damage with anything but his mushrooms. So what should I do during a teamfight? Play like an AD carry, an AP carry, or make a escape route if we start to lose? Also, should I concentrate on one person or spread my poison around? And should I use mushrooms to hit lots of people or save them for running? I have to be careful as I'm very fragile.


Little numbers on city screen on Civ 2

Looking for a Good/Reputable Source for Hardware to Dump Old Cartridge Based Games

I love retro-games! What kid from the 80's doesn't! I'm also a software engineer by trade. Recently, I've also had to transition into designing actual embedded computer hardware which has meant that I'm having to learn information about electronics as well as refreshing myself on the specifics of very low-level computer operations. What fun is it to learn all of this information and not put it to good use-- So I've decided that I'd like to dust off all of my old NES and SNES cartridges and work on dumping the data straight to ROMs and trying to "figure out" the old hardware. No, I'm not looking for software that I can use to inspect the data (unless it's inspecting the data straight from the cart) but what I want want are the hardware tools necessary to explore these old games and systems from the hardware level. Is there a reputable store that offers these tools catered to gamers? If the answer is check out eBay, what type of hardware should I look for? I know this is a very niche question and it could be easy to say "this post doesn't belong on this site" but I thought I'd have a better shot at finding someone interested in answering this question because it specifically relates to gaming hardware. thanks guys!


Is there an easy way to quit Assassins' Creed on PC?

If I'm in a memory inside the Animus (i.e. playing the game) and I want to quit the game completely, it seems like I have to follow this sequence of operations:-   * Pause the game   * Select 'Exit Memory'   * Wait for the game to load the lab, with me inside the Animus user interface, then select 'Exit Animus'   * While it's doing the animation for leaving the Animus, pause the game again   * Select 'Exit game' and confirm   * Wait for the title screen to load again   * Select a profile from the menu   * Select 'Exit' Then the program exits completely. It seems implausible that the developers thought this was user-friendly, so is there a more direct way of leaving the program (and getting back to the Windows desktop) from inside a memory?

In M.U.G.E.N, how do I resize the stages?

Well, I recently asked a question on how to resize the background in the selection menu, but now I have this question to ask. Out of my 50 stages, about 15 or so are too zoomed in. This causes the fighters to appear floating in the air when fighting. For example, a stage takes place in a dungeon. A person in the background was supposed to be standing in level with the fighters, but instead, the person is a lot lower than the fighters. The fighters were also above the "ground", proving that the stage was zoomed in I'd appreciate any help with this.

Do I have to get all the kills for the Federal Crime trophy in one game?

There is a trophy for Payday: The Heist called Federal Crime. The trophy description is: > Defeat 25 FBI agents in a row. I am wondering if I need to get all 25 kills in one game or can I kill 15 agents in a row in one game and then 10 in a row at the start of another. The in-game challenge section for it does not show a progress bar (which makes me think it might need to be all in one map) but since I can't check the progress I don't know if I don't have it because I accidentally killed someone else or if it needs to be done all in one game.


Choosing Magian Trial Weapons with "+ Double Attack" VS "Occ. Attacks Twice"?

What factors would drive a choice between choosing to build a Magian Trials weapon that gives "Double Attack" vs one that gives "Occ. Attacks Twice"? My thought has been: would "+Double Attack" be more compelling for jobs/subjobs that already give a "Double Attack" ability, in which case, that's always better than "Occ. Attacks Twice", isn't it? So, what would be the case where "Occ. Attacks Twice" wins?

Do the customers always want the same thing?

In Delicious: Emily's True Love, there is a trophy called "Woman's Intuition" - the description says "Have a complete order on your tray before the order is placed, 2 times in a row." This strikes me as something that would just happen by chance, unless each customer always wants a specific dish - then you would be able to predict it when they walked in the door. Is this actually a trophy I can plan for? Or is it just something that I might randomly get if I am lucky?


What makes a strong lvl 1 team?

While playing some normal draft, it seems that the flavor of the month is to invade the enemies jungle. Depending on the team composition, we'll win, or we'll lose...but that makes me wonder: What really makes a team at lvl 1 strong? Are there champions that do ridiculous damage early that would blow up another team? Do you have to have a stun to invade? If you were setting up an early team, what would you do to make sure you secure the opposing teams jungle?


How can I start up an effective metal industry?

I've been working my way through the Dwarf Fortress Quickstart Guide and didn't really have any problems until I encountered the section on starting up a metal industry. Now I feel that I'm in _way_ over my head. As instructed, I successfully built a wood furnace, some smelters, and a metalsmith's forge; I also set up some stockpiles for coke and charcoal, metal bars, and ore. I dug quite a few exploratory tunnels and in the process struck the following new stones.   * Smoky quartz   * Indigo tourmaline   * Sardonyx   * Microcline   * Morion   * Kimberlite   * Lignite   * White chalcedony   * Onyx   * Aventurine   * Milk quartz   * Rock crystal   * Native gold   * Citrine   * Sard   * Tetrahedrite   * Yellow jasper Unfortunately, the only stones that I have ever seen deposited in my ore stockpiles are native gold and tetrahedrite. I've seen the wiki page that explains how the metal industry works, the lists of pure metals and alloys, and the ores and alloys flowchart, but I still have the following questions.   1. Why don't I see more stones deposited in my stockpiles?   2. Which of the stones that I've struck so far are useful for crafting picks, weapons, and armor?   3. Which stones should I prioritize finding to craft the aforementioned picks, weapons, and armor?   4. What should I do with the other stones that I find?   5. What's the easiest way to transport, store, and keep track of all my stones and metals?


Is there a downside when I force someone to marry me?

Are there any checks for cheating, or is the game based on trust?

I have been playing Draw Something for 24 hours and I have noticed that a few random opponents spell out the answer if they cannot draw it. This kind of ruins the fun, but I can imagine it would be a very quick way to earn coins which would otherwise cost money, to buy new colour packs. So my question is, are there any checks in place to stop this? The players who have written out the answer in games against me seem to have got away with it.

Where is the guard that gives you the 'Blood on the Ice' quest?

Susanna the Wicked is dead, and has been dead for a while. Her body is currently lying, haf naked, in the cememtary. The three NPCs I'm supposed to question are also surrounding her body, and keep saying the same thing over and over. They are always there commenting on her being dead, whether it be morning, noon, or night. However, the guard is not there. I've gone up to guards and talked to them, but none of them will give me the quest. It seems the quest guard is missing in action. Yes I did kill Nilsine for the Dark Brotherhood, but I believe I killed her the day that Sussana was dead, because when I killed Nilsine, the people were surrounding Susanna. But of course, the guard was absent and the people have not moved. The Imperials have not taken over the city, and Tova has committed suicide, and I have taken the key from her body. It's been a few days in game, and I'd like to know what I should do to get this quest moving along. I am playing on a PS3, so I cannot use commands. Is there anyone else I can talk to so I can start this quest or something I can do to fix this?

How do I steal from a shopkeeper?

Shopkeepers provide a much needed service to Spelunky. Imagine getting stuck three blocks under a treasure trove. Or walking over _the_ motherload of motherloads trapped in the dirt. Shopkeeper to the rescue! Supplying ropes and bombs and all matter of odds and ends that I don't quite yet understand... The shopkeepers appear to do quite well for themselves, claiming the monopoly in a decently lucrative market. Occasionally, however, there are items that attract my eye but, through no lack of effort on my part, I don't have enough gold to acquire them in a "lawful" manner. I have tried all manner of things:   * Trying the straightforward approach: walking out of the store with the un-purchased item, allows me to get a step or two outside before suddenly becoming dead.   * Throwing rocks, and pots in an attempt to stun them only seems to aggravate them, causing them to whip out their shotguns and "end me" far too quickly.   * whipping them leads to a very similar fate.   * Attempting to take out a bomb in their general vicinity will also lead to my death. I guess I have found a couple ways to _attempt_ to steal from them, but each of these ends in either death or a trigger happy rampage (and death). Perhaps I should restate my question:   How can I steal from a shopkeeper and _survive_?

(If not, i'll probs just wait until another wolf camps)

Is the Mechromancer's Little Big Trouble tree worthwhile in UVHM (72 level cap)?

So far, the tree seems rather underwhelming, especially the low-tier skills like Myelin, More Pep, Strength of 5 gorillas, etc. Evil Enchantress apparently doesn't affect shock, fire and acid direct damage; it only buffs the status effects which is pretty pointless when slagging an enemy does 3X damage. Shock storm doesn't sound useful as most enemies won't be bunched up enough. On the other hand, the damage buffs from Wires Don't Talk and Interspersed Outburst look very useful. Make it Sparkle also apparently gives Deathtrap massive additional damage of up to 3X. Is it worthwhile to spec into this tree just for the end-tier perks?

So I build a service level like the man said I needed to do, but he still won't let me get the credit and give me another mission. Now I've build 2 service levels thinking maybe he wanted me to keep building them but I don't think that's it. I built a workout center, and no credit. Then I built a millennium expr, and still no credit. It just says the same thing "according to my design you need 1 service level." It doesn't say 'collect' or anything like it did the last 5 missions I've done. Also I didn't choose those 2 specific levels, I just hit service and the game choose it if that matters. I doubt it tho. Can someone tell me if they're having the same issue or am I doing something wrong?

In the mission Going Hunting, how do I hit enemy MIGs with my plane's machine gun?

My apologies if I mess up the terminology; I am overwhelmed by Battlefield 3's lingo, simplified as it may be. In the mission Going Hunting, I am the gunner and flare-dumper of a plane being flown by another guy. It's a pretty interesting and intense experience where it feels like a single second of hesitation might lead to a firey explosive death. Fun! My plane has two weapons: a machine gun and a missile launcher. The missiles seem to occasionally connect; sometimes my enemy dumps flares to avoid them, other times they don't. This seems pretty straightforward. The part that confuses me is the machine gun. Maybe it's because I'm playing on Low Quality settings, but I can barely see the bullets fly out of my plane, let alone connect any with my enemies. I get them in my sights and then squeeze the left mouse button, but my bullets don't seem to be coming anywhere close to hitting them. What am I doing wrong here? Am I even supposed to be using the machine gun? How do I hit the enemy MIGs with this thing?


Small Wesnoth tournament format suggestions

I'm thinking of having a small Wesnoth tournament with some friends (maybe 8 or 9 ish people) and was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for the format? Everyone in free-for-all isn't very exciting, and a single team match isn't really a great show of skill. What do you think? Perhaps a series of 3-player matches with a knock out system? Any and all suggestions welcome and considered!


Delete Pixel Junk Racers first version?

I own the game Pixel Junk Racers. I am also the owner of the second version, Pixel Junk Racers: 2nd Lap. Both games are very similar, but 2nd Lap offers some improvements, so I do not play with the first version. Is it possible to remove it without corrupting or create problems for the second version?


Max Players Formula

When I first started running a Bukkit server there was this formula I used using my system info that determined how many players I should set max players to. I have a new computer, and I forget the formula, and I've tried to Google it, but there is no info! Can someone tell me the formula please?


How do I dock a wing?

In X3AP, it doesn't seem possible to order a wing to dock. The ships will just orbit the chosen station but not dock. Is there a way to dock a wing without dismantling the wing first.
