Do people from different Ages have a single common origin?

Throughout the Myst games and novels, various Ages have indigenous humans (or human-like people). I'm wondering if there is a canonical explanation for this. Was there an original human population that migrated to all these Ages, or did these populations arise independently?


What is the collective name for the evolution chamber, forge, and engineering bay?

Zerg's evolution chamber, Protoss' forge, and Terran's engineering bay have similar roles. All are pre-requisites for anti-air and detection buildings for the respective races. What collective term or phrase could be used for these three structures? Example scenario: You are playing a team game (with some inexperienced friends) and you spot a Twilight Council in production (implying the need for detection). Instead of saying "guys, better start building your evo chamber, forge, or e-bay", I would like to shorten it to something like "guys, better start building your **_insert collective name here_**."


Tekken 6/fighting games general strategy against button mashers

I'm a hardcore gamer, I can dominate casual gamers in pretty much every game to the point that they'll become frustrated. Not that I'd do that, I don't want them to dislike playing games with me. But I can't get the fighting games like Tekken/Dead or Alive/Street fighter! I've played them with few people and they adapted a button mashing strategy, blindly pushing every action button. I've been beaten all the time. Is there a general strategy to help against this? Or should I study combos and special moves to trick them and get the better of them?

How can I fix semi-broken textures in Trials Evolution?

I've been having this problem for a while and I've never thought to ask until now. Since I have bought and played Trials Evolution, I've had issues with water textures, large masses of dots appear on bodies of water, it looks something like this; ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/WtOIc.jpg) It's quite a bit more prominent than that, it isn't represented as well in picture. I was wondering if this is a client side issue or not, and how I can fix it.

When playing Age of Empires 3 on Windows 7, how do I get the screen to appear in the center?

I just installed AOE 3 on my Windows 7 x64 Ultimate box, which has an i5 processor and a radeon 3850. I have installed the latest AOE 3 patch (1.14). My video driver, claims windows, is up to date. The game seems to run fine, but the display is off-center far to the left. I can only barely see the right edge of the menu buttons. I can't even read what the buttons say. But I can click the buttons and the game responds. In short, how do I get the screen to appear in the center?


What happens if I add the starter edition to my Battle.net account once I already have a frozen WoW account?

I played WoW a year or so ago, and I still have it as "frozen" on my Battle.net account. I'd like to get back to playing, but I'd like to try the free version of it before actually buying game time, it might not be as good as before... So, I've added the starter version to my account, and I'm downloading it now, but will I be able to see my old characters? I know I probably wont be able to play them, because they're mostly level 80 or 85, but I'd like to have my new character (created on the starter addition) on that account as well, after I buy the actual game time. Will he be on the same list as my older characters (given that I create him on the same realm)?

Car not showing in Grove Street garage

I just purchased an Adder on my phone and went to my Grove Street garage to find my other 3 cars, but not the Adder. I had the money, so I tried purchasing another except it told me my garage was full. I left the area, came back and it's still not in there. I can't store any more than the 3 cars I have in there and it's quite frustrating since it's the only garage I can get.


How do I increase the coin income per tap?

In his presentation of the Curiosity app, Peter Molyneux said that there are ways (based of rhythm, maybe?) to increase the amount of coins you earn, per tap. Also, in the "info screen" from the Curiosity app, it is said that > there are skill mechanics that you will need to master * * * Tapping one cube brings one coin, basically. What are the ways to increase that amount? Are there combo mechanics, rhythm- based scoring?


What are the strengths of each grenade type?

There are 3 grenade types in Halo 4 (frag, plasma, and pulse). Frag and plasma return from previous games, but they have not behaved exactly the same in all previous installments. Pulse is completely new for Halo 4. As I cart around my duffle bag full of grenades, in what circumstances does each type excel (or are some just better than others)?


Borderlands Co-Op Lan Play - Guns and Ammo

I have the PS3 version of this game, but I've never played online. My friend and I are considering buying the PC version so we could play co-op on our PCs. Can someone tell me how ammo and gun drops are handled in co-op? Are they all 'free-for-all' or do we each get our own. Does the distribution of ammo drops mean that my friend and I should avoid specializing in the same type of weapon (IE - shotgun) because we'd be fighting over the best shotgun weapons and ammo? Also - can we both be the same character? I thought the answer was no, but I wanted to confirm.


Does order of party members matter in Might and Magic series?

I've seen some walkthroughs/faqs/character-creation guides and some claim that the front character gets hit the most (I suppose "front character" means the left-most?). But in my experience, I can hardly say that's true. Also, official manual doesn't mention it. In MM7, it also seems that the party member order matters for bowmen - as the arrow flies from the left, middle or right, depending on the position. But that's about all I noticed. So, could you please tell me more about the order of party members, particularly in MM6, MM7 and MM8? * * * MM8: How, for @#$@#%'s sake, do you change the character party order?   In this thread, people said that party order has no effect in MM6, MM7 and MM8, but many online guides claim otherwise. :-( Party Order and Switching   Here, people claim it affects XP gaining and geometry of ranged attacts Might and Magic 7 focused fire issue   Here, they claim that starting in MM6, first and last positions are slightly more targeted by monsters.


What's different in Hero Mode?

I've completed the game, and have been given the option to start a new playthrough in "Hero Mode." I know that in Hero Mode, the damage dealt by all enemies is multiplied by four, but are there any differences other than that? For example, have any of the puzzles or boss fights been changed, or are there any exclusive secrets?

Port-forwarding: different ports in router log?

My friend cannot connect to my Minecraft server. **How do the the different ports shown in my router's log affect port forwarding? What can I change to allow my friend connect to my server?** I believe I have done every necessary step to port forward, yet external devices cannot connect to my computer when the server is running and "whatsmyip.org" port-checking tools say port 25565 has timed-out. My **router's log shows some interesting information** but I do not know what the next step is: ![Nighthawk R7000](http://i.stack.imgur.com/6O8qI.png) My router is the Nighthawk R7000 and I am using the Genie interface. The image above shows the attempted connections from two external devices to my server hosting device. The scribbled out ip is my friends external ip and the "204.11.33.59" ip is "whatsmyip.org". **Notice, in green** (text reads "not the same"), the port numbers are different between my LAN server device and whatsmyip.org's external ip. This is also observable when my friend's ip tries to connect to my LAN server device. Also, notice that the port number from the incoming external ip is not the same every time. Neither google searches nor other Q/As have been helpful. To make this post more informative, here is a link to an imgur album containing my router's port-forwarding configurations and a list of computer and router specifics:   * I am running Windows 7 and the "minecraft_server.1.7.4.exe" server application   * I have reserved a static IP for my LAN device running the server   * I can access the internet with all devices inside my LAN   * I successfully pinged my router using whatsmyip.org   * I have UPnP enabled   * My friend cannot connect from outside our network :( Any help would be much appreciated!


What are the consequences in dying as a Hardcore?

Kraken ate Jebediah - any way to resurrect him?

I landed on Minmus. Some parts exploded, but that's only to be expected, it's Kerbal Space Program after all. I got Jebediah EVA to take some samples, and Hell Kraken ate him. Screen got blank, altitude meter got 666,666 and then random, and after restart Jeb is listed as lost. Is there any way to resurrect him? Probably save edit? I want him alive, and if possible I want him where I lost him - next to the ship he was piloting (a lot of science to bring back home). I have my persistence file backed up and it appears to be complete (minus Jeb) state of my universe at the moment of failure, so by editing him in I would be able to play as if bug never happened.


What's the Deal with Seath the Scaleless?

I'm not referring to how to beat Seath or how to find him, as this question has already been discussed in great detail. However, I still find this to be the most mysterious canon in all of Dark Souls. As far as I know, the only actual piece of dialogue that talks about Seath is one sentence, right at the beginning of the game - "And Seath the Scaleless betrayed his own, and the dragons were no more" Has anyone dug up any evidence to the following?   * How did Seath betray the dragons?   * Did he lose his scales before or after slaying the dragons?   * Is there any connection between Priscilla and Seath, other than the fact that she's almost definitely his daughter due to the fact that Seath is the only albino dragon in the whole cannon (Who is her mother?)   * How did Seath become cursed?   * Why does he live in the Duke's Archives? (It's been suggested that Seath is the Duke)


Do I need to buy seed packets from Crazy Dave every time I want to use them?

Crazy Dave just opened shop and he sports two very interesting "plants": twin sunflowers and gatling peas. However, I'm afraid that the price tag of $5k is _per use_ , rather than "buy once, use forever," in which case the price tag is way too steep for all practical purposes. Which is it?

Can I have both a main account and a "smurf" account linked to my Steam account?

1. In League of Legends, some players make "smurf" accounts, which are typically lower-levelled or lower-ranked accounts to play on instead of a main account.

How do I know who is talking?

In Mass Effect 3 multiplayer, I have run into a few screaming 12-year-olds. And while they are just a delight to talk to, and so well mannered, on occasion I feel that their mature and thoughtful discussion might distract me from the tasks at hand. In the ME3 multiplayer interface, is there any way to tell who is talking so that I may know whom I should mute? By the way, I am on Xbox 360.


Where is Cedric during the quest "Where is Triss Merigold" in The Witcher 2?

During the quest "Where is Triss Merigold" Geralt is tracking the elf Cedric by the blood trail he leaves. I've done that, using my medallion to highlight the blood, but ended up at a dead end, some other dead humans: ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/ieZ6Q.jpg) So the trail I followed was a false trail. I backtracked but couldn't find any other trail diverging. Where is Cedric?


Diablo II, Nightmare/Hell Mode, Undead Dolls

I've been playing Diablo II as I do every 6 months or so and have wanted to know this for a number of years now: In Kurast; when playing nightmare or hell mode; whenever I kill an undead doll it takes 60-90% of my health. What is this? How can I avoid it? It only happens when I'm using melee attacks to kill them. The undead doll out of all enemies is practically the only enemy in the entire game that gives me issues, because of this.

Best controller setup in Killzone 2

I recently purchased Killzone 2 and I'm bit new to console gaming, specially FPS. I have trouble with aiming and moving/turning sideways. The sensitivity of the right thumb stick doesn't fit very well on my finger. I tried changing the sensitivity, but the result was not helpful. I would like to know if there's a better way of configuring these controller settings. **Update** : The latest update (patch) added the ‘ **High Precision** ’ setting in the controller options. It gives some smooth moving capabilities but still I need to improve my aiming.

Sometimes it expands and shoots at me, but as soon as I shoot it back, it is invincible again. Is there any pattern or effective way to destroy it? It keeps survive even after I killed the next boss.


Playstation 3 fan noise due to broken sensor?

I've had a 60GB Playstation 3 model since 2007. It got replaced by Sony because of YLOD a few years back. For as long as I can remember the fans goes up to full-speed whatever the console is doing. The noise is the same if it's playing the latest game or is just in the XMB. So I decided today that I should open up the machine and remove all the dust. So I opened it up and when I got to the big fan, there were almost no dust at all. I closed it and started it up again and the noise is still there. Could it be so simple that a heat sensor is broken? The HDD has been replaced a number of times so maybe if there is a heat sensor at the HDD that I can replace? Can that be the problem that causes the fan to go to full-speed and make all that noise?

How can you use headsets with separate Audio and Mic cables for Dualshock4?

I am hoping to buy a headset for use on both my pc, and my ps4 - So want one with a 3.5mm jack. I have found some I like, within the price range, and using 3.5mm adapters. However, these headsets have a separate socket for both the audio and the mic. This would be fine for my pc, but the dualshock 4 only has a single 3.5mm jack socket. If I were to use a 3.5mm jack splitter to merge the audio and mic plugs into one, would this work? If not, is there any other piece of equipment that I would be able to use to combine the two leads for mic and audio into one, or is it not possible? Thank you in advance for any answers!


Why do my chickens keep dying?

In order to get a constant supply of food and feathers, I decided to set up a simple semi-automated chicken farm, but for some reason, my chickens keep dying. Why is this? Here are the details: ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/IGKcy.png) The dispenser is triggered by a rapid pulsar. This way, approximately every 16 seconds a new chicken is spawned, until I run out of eggs. The chickens float on a 1-layer thick water surface to allow collecting eggs: ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/z3xXc.png) As you can see the floating area is about 2x10 blocks large. There used to be many chickens in these containers, dropping an egg every few seconds. Then, they all died (I could collect meat instead of eggs). Luckily, I had a batch of eggs, so I refilled the dispenser and got around 20 chickens out of it. Leaving the farm for a while and coming back left me with just 2 chickens. How can I avoid these mass extinctions?


Most convenient method to switch between PSN accounts to access PS Vita content from different Playstation Stores?

I have a Japanese PSN account, as well as a US PSN account. On my PS3, I get the best of both world since I have access to Japanese Playstation Store as well as US Playstation Store. I can purchase and download new region specific demos and games, and use them from my both accounts. I want to do the same on my PS Vita. However, it seems we do not have that much freedom on PS Vita. First of all, I cannot add a second Playstation account on PS Vita, therefore I cannot directly access a second store. I tried to download contents on my PS3 first, and then to send it to my PS3 : I obtained an error message telling me I could not do this because my PS3 Vita account was not the owner of that content. I think there are two methods to get content from both Playstation Stores : \- 1 : format my PS Vita and recreate the account info (as well as network connections info, etc) for the other region every time I want to use content from a different region \- 2 : buy a new PS Vita Memory Card and save my alternate account information on this card, then save region specific content on this card. When I want to switch region, I then need to change the small memory card (so small.. hope I won't break it.. Or lose it) Am I correct ? Are there any restrictions or problems with these methods ? Is there a more clever or convenient way of switching between accounts ? Thanks for any suggestion !

In Fallout 3 (on the Xbox 360) is there any fix for the "moving PIP-Boy" bug?

I love me some Fallout 3. In fact, it's paused as I write this. That said, there's a fairly well-known bug (definitely in the Xbox version, I don't know about the others) where the PIP-Boy display shifts up occasionally, and eventually (if you access your PIP-Boy enough) the top portion is off the display, rendering the top line of information (say, your HP and weight carried) invisible. Is there a fix for this aside from quitting and restarting the game?

Do armor piercing ammo cause less damage to non-armored targets, compared to their regular, non-armor piercing counterparts?

How do armor piercing ammo like the Feltrite AR Rounds or the Authority AV2x Rounds affect non-armored targets? Do they cause less damage on non-armored targets, compared to their non-armor piercing counterparts (ala Fallout New Vegas ammo types)? Or are they simply better versions of their non-armor piercing counterparts? I'm asking because I am deciding if I should still use regular non-armor piercing ammo or not, depending on if armor-piercing ammo work better against non-armored targets. Posts in this RAGE forum thread in the Steam Forums have different opinions about this.


In a Warcraft 3 LAN game, is there any way to save progress more than once per player?

When playing a WC3 LAN match, each player can save the game once, after which the 'Save game' option in the menu is disabled. I fail to see the point in this, and would really like to be able to save more often. This is especially true when one of us has a less-than-reliable connection and may be dropped from the game from time to time. I have found one workaround, and that is that if we save the game, end the game, then reload/rejoin the saved game the option to save will once again be available (but, of course, only one time, and then the process must be repeated). While this is better than nothing, it can get awfully tedious and annoying to have to do this every time we want to save the game. Has anybody found any way to get around this limitation? I'm wondering if maybe there's a special hack I don't know about, or maybe some less tedious workaround.


How do I get the "Fast Break" achievement in HotS?

I have completed the game on hard but missed a lot of the Mastery achievements, so I am trying to get them now. But the Fast Break achievement is giving me a bit of trouble, so I could use some pointers on what unit/Kerrigan upgrades to take and any tips for making the trip around the ship a fast one. ![Cropped screenshot of the "Fast Break" achievement:  'Complete the "Conviction" mission in less than 10 minutes on Hard difficulty'](http://i.stack.imgur.com/GaSSI.jpg) I have managed to do it in 10:39, so I am pretty close to getting it I think. I focus on using Kerrigan's ability, turning Zerglings into Banelings and taking over big units with Infestors. I use the following setup: **Units:** ![Cropped screenshot showing Raptor Zerglings selected with Adrenal Overload; Hunter Banelings selected with Rupture; Vile Roaches selected with Hydriodic Bile; Impaler Hydralisks selected with Frenzy](http://i.stack.imgur.com/iV8u0.jpg) **Kerrigan:** ![Cropped screenshot showing the following abilities selected:  Ability Efficiency, Malignant Creep, Mend, Improved Overlords, Crushing Grip, Kinetic Blast](http://i.stack.imgur.com/Y7Y7l.jpg)


How would you maximize Kassadin's laning phase before he hits level 6

How would you do well in the laning fase when playing Kassadin before he becomes level 6? We all know that Kassadin is one of the strongest and most flexible champions after he hits level 6, but it's definitely a pain trying to get creepkills in earlier levels. Would you generally use your Q to last hit like Gangplanks Parley?


How do I go through a door opening?

Sometimes I have a bit of trouble going through door openings. My problem is the lasers: ![Door opening with @Lazers](http://i.stack.imgur.com/q9zZt.jpg) I know some Warframes have abilities that let you pass through them and you can slide through them but that dose not always work. What do I need to do to make sure I always succeed when trying to slide through? or even better is there a trick to getting them to turn off?

What are the equipment restrictions for NPC/Hirelings in Diablo 2?

I am playing my way through Nightmare Diablo 2 on Battle.net closed servers and because of the swarming that's occurring I've decided to bite the bullet and get a hireling to come help out. My act 1 hireling seemed to be restricted to bow weapons. My act 2 defensive hireling comes with a spiffy cold effect but seeems to be restricted to pole arms, without a shield regardless of the class of pole arm (ie 1 handed pole arms should allow a shield, but don't). What are the restrictions on hirelings and what other bonuses might I discover?

Is it possible to change "recommended Items"?

I recognized some items which are listed as `recommended` in the shop menu are pretty useless for certain champion builds and it is better to get some other instead. Because I am pretty new to LoL I find myself clicking through the shop menu for minutes, wasting time searching for items my friends recommended to me, which all could be spent farming or fighting. **Is there a way to change the list of recommended items for each champion?** And if that is the case, is it possible to show more than one set of items for different Champion builds (like more focused on DPS or AP on Kog'Maw)?


I just bought a new TV and now my Wiimote has a delay for its action

So I just bought a new LCD tv that I thought would be better than my old CRT. however, I've noticed a significant delay between when I press a button during gameplay (Black Ops) and whe the action actuall takes place on screen. It is most notable during gameplay. I have it plugged in through the component cables. It is a Sanyo 39" LCD. What's going on and how do I fix it? EDIT I just noticed that some tvs have a game mode. I'm unable to find that on this tv. Also, I've read that turning off up scaling might help.


How do I prevent a second player from entering an area occupied by another player?

I am building a gambling machine that uses command blocks to take money from, and give money to a player. It also sends game messages to the player via the command blocks. Therefore, I want only one player in the gambling machine area at a time. Is there some way to read a flag at a distant location that might indicate a person is there (because they are standing on a pressure plate)? I tried using pressure plates the player stands on, but when the player leaves, the redstone circuit "freezes" so it thinks a player is still gambling. Is there a way I could communicate the information wirelessly?

Cant find Javaw.exe

Ok, this might be a bit long but I should tell otherwise since I have 10 tabs open :P So, I tried the second time for downloading a mod for Minecraft and I got to a Youtube video by NoahCraftFTW on how to install mods. I followed along but then I stopped at deleting the `META-INF` file in `%AppData%>.minecraft>bin>minecraft.jar` (Opened with winRAR) and then tried to delete `META-INF`. When I did try I got: `Cannot rename__rzi_0.432 to C:\Users\Father\AppData\Roaming\.minecraft\bin\minecraft.jar` I then asked how to delete `META-INF`. I then went to a few answers and then I came across a answer that says to open TaskManager. So I did, it then told me to go to processes and to terminate `javaw.exe` but I could not find it. Then I found this. He had JRE 7 and I had JRE 6 (and Vista if that is supposed to change anything which it probably does) so I followed the steps and I STILL didn't find it so this is basically my "last resort". Hopefully I can find someone who can help and I might soon have to refresh this site 24/7 :) p.s: can sombody also tell me what "JRE" means? Java?


Horrible Lag in Technic/Tekkit?

## Overview So, I'm playing Tekkit and Technic, and it seems like there is horrible lag. The lag is so terrible that I died trying to kill a wolf on Peaceful. I have an average of 2-3 fps for the first ~5 minutes. Once the chunks are all loaded and ready to go, I have an average of 7-13 frames per second. This is very little, considering that in normal vanilla, I average 30-50 fps. ## What I have already done I have already removed two mods, I believe one of them was Mo'Creatures and the other one was MatAmos (or whatever that is). This has increased it from unplayable to a maximum of 17 fps. These two were one of the mods that does heavy calculation, but I often am killed by a creeper or a zombie when I fluctuate from 0 to 3 fps. I have additionally turned everything in OptiFine off and have changed my render distance to Short +16. ## Question How can I reduce lag in Tekkit/Technic? Is it possible to remove some mods that I care less about, or is there an easier solution? **System Specs**   ![System Specs, also listed below](http://i.stack.imgur.com/PQmhX.png)   Sony Vaio running Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit) 6 Gigabytes of RAM, 3 given to the Technic Launcher   Intel Core i5 processor   Nvidia GPU (not sure what specs)   Java version 1.7.0_05 (32-bit since for some reason, x64 doesn't like me)


Can I kidnap Lenny while dressed as a Hitman WITHOUT starting an orgy of violence?

I've arrived in Hope, South Dakota, and murdered the first three Cougars. Afterward, while I was exploring the garage to see if there was anything interesting or useful, I accidentally opened the door to the next part of the game. So, as a great man once said, now I'm in a completely different place, and I'm surrounded on all sides by angry men with guns who want me dead. So far I haven't been able to subdue anyone and take their clothes as a disguise, because there are no lone wanderers at the beginning of the level - apparently everyone listened to the lectures about the Buddy System. Up until now I've avoided killing anyone but my targets, but it seems I've painted myself into a corner with this one. **Is there a way to complete the 'Kidnap Lenny' level without non-target casualties if I entered the level wearing my Hitman suit?**

WiiMote turns off in Wii Shop Channel

I have a Wii running system version 4.3U and two NYKO WAND WiiMote controllers. For some reason, when I open the Wii Shop Channel, the WiiMotes will instantly turn off. Attempting to turn them back on will only cause them to turn off again, and any further attempts will not return them to an on state. The console is not frozen and will cycle through the current offers and listings as usual. Does anyone know why this might be happening? This is the only channel that causes this. If it matters any, my console is successfully softmodded.

Why didn't I get the Army of Four achievement in XCOM: Enemy Unknown? Did I miss something?

Today I finished my 3-day long, Classic+Ironman run and aimed to get these 4 achievements: "Earth First", "Ain't No Cavalry Comin'", "No Looking Back" and "An Army Of Four". All my soldiers lived until the very end (I did change one Assault for another and made him the one, my Heavy was the one I kept in all missions) and I got all the achievements except for "An Army Of Four". My only fails were taking down the UFO Overseer twice. I constructed the Officer Training School late in the game and bought all the trainings except for "Squad Size I" and "Squad Size II". I did cheat Ironman with closing the game and restarting to improve every turn, but sometimes it took me back to the situation room right before accepting panic, abduction, etc. missions. (Maybe that has something to do?) Now, the achievement in Steam says "Beat the game without buying a Squad Size upgrade (Classic+ difficulty)" I've done some Google research and all I've found are the descriptions of the said achievement. My question is, why I didn't get the achievement? Probably I missread it, or did something not so obvious to not get it.

Press any key to continue: no response

I have this client working on Steam. When I enter, I always come to the same splash with the fading "Press any key to continue" The game also has its orange sign: > Server is full, Please try again later. But I assume that in any moment someone gets out of the game, and when that happens, the sign dissaperars momentarily, the momment where the game should let me in. I press furiously the keyboard (meaning that nothing works) and game doesn't do anything. I can access to the options though.


How to Uninstall DLC in The Last of Us

I have finished the "Left Behind" DLC episode and would like to uninstall it to get some space on my hard drive. I would, however, like to keep the "Abandoned Territories" multiplayer DLC and the base game files. In the game files folder there is a tab called "Additional Content", but I suspect this includes everything, like the special edition content, the multiplayer DLC and "Left Behind". Is there any way to uninstall DLC seperately? And if there is not, can I safely delete the "Additional Content" tab and re-install the other DLC?


Is it possible to charm/intimidate The Illusive Man on Mars with only an imported ME2 character?

I just started my second playthrough of ME3 with a second ME2 imported character, and on Mars, I still didn't pass the rep check for The Illusive Man. My Paragon bar was basically full in ME2 (I passed the Morinth check). I started with total rep slightly below the first tick, which I assume is what's required to pass that rep check, and quickly surpassed it during my first visit to the Citadel. My question is how can I make up the difference before speaking with The Illusive Man, or is it even possible in my case? Is it only possible with an imported ME3 save?

What shops should I upgrade first?

With balanced demand amongst all shops, some shops run out of product before others because of inventory quantities. I see that I can pay to upgrade inventory, but I don't know whether I get more bang for my buck starting with shops that have the largest inventories already, or starting with the smallest, or if there are other factors besides inventory size to consider when upgrading. So which shops does it make best financial sense to upgrade first?


How can I maximize the reproduction rate of animals?

So I've managed to acquire my first animals, and I'm trying to figure out how to maximize their rate of reproduction. My first thought was to split my animals into two different pastures, but I'm not sure if this will actually help or hurt the rate of reproduction. The help menu states that animals in a pasture not being worked will reproduce slower, and I'm assuming this applies to pastures with only one herdsmen as well. I'm also not sure if the number of animals in the pastures makes a difference (that is, will 4 sheep reproduce faster than 2 sheep?). What affects the reproduction rate of animals, and how can I use this to maximize their reproduction rate?

In Pixelry, one of the things you can upgrade at the forge is your horse's movement speed. Is there any particular reason I should do this?

Does upgrading my horse give me any _actual_ benefits?

I jumped off here, went looking around, and came to a dead end. Now, I went back here, only to find I can't seem to get back up onto the ledge. According to the map, there is unexplored area I missed back up there, which is probably where I need to finish collecting the images of the enemy (the objective). Anyway, I've tried to get back on but I had no luck. Is there something I'm supposed to do? ![Ledge](http://i.stack.imgur.com/XW73t.jpg) ![Map](http://i.stack.imgur.com/S1QAq.jpg)


While in a OSX, How can I "alt+tab" in The Cave ? (full-screen)

I tried `⌘``tab` / `alt``tab` / `esc` (that only opens the menu). It's hard to check the internet (friends/work/emails/etc) while in full screen and needing to save and exit every time. Running on OSX Mountain Lion.


How does "overloading" work and when should I overload?

I have trained up thermodynamics and have been playing around with overloading, causing a reasonable amount of damage to all the equipment on my ship during all of my testing and I was wondering the following;   * How does overloading work   * How does heat spread between components on a rack, and   * How can I reduce the heat generated by overloading ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/udjHL.png) With all of the above in consideration, under what circumstances should I be overloading? Should I only overload weapons or is it normal to overload shields or warpdrives as well. Is it ever worth doing in PvE/missions or is this pretty much a tactic for use in PvP only?

What are the best champions to play that really CARRY a soloque game?

Some champions snowball better than others or can just really dominate their lane to make a very big impact on the game. I know the question is a bit subjective but I am sure there are a few champions for each role that are generally accepted to be solo queue stompers.


What happens when Maoki uses Twisted Advance on a teleporting Twisted Fate and Nocturne?

I know Maoki follows flashes and dashes with his Twisted Advance, and does not follow blue pill and tele summoner, but what about TF and Nocturne ults? Does it cancel, take Mao part of the way to the target's new location then stop (like some target spells and autos)? Or is whether or not Mao follows determined by how far away they teleport?


Sonic Colors-Terminal Velocity

How does nanite repair paste work?

While watching videos regarding the uses of overloading I have heard mentions of 'Nanite Repair Paste', which according to the market is this stuff; ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/wtyhf.png) > A thick, heavy liquid, typically stored in tanks or container systems > intended for liquids. It is composed of billions of nanites that can be > programmed to repair damaged ship modules on the fly.

Are there any skills that I need to train to allow me to use it and/or to improve its effectiveness?

Do I lose my power ups in Infinity Field?

Playing campaign mode I got a ship "Upgrade" for 2000 credits. Now I got a game over, and "Upgrade" is available for 2000 credits again.

Using steam game key without steam installation

I want to play Heroes 5 on my ubuntu 13.04. I installed steam and it works. I have purchased the Might and Magic 5 bundle, so I have Heroes 5 with the two expansions and other game that come along. But when I select Heroes 5 item from the install list, it says, you cannot install this game on your platform. It means you cannot install the game on Ubuntu/Linux. So I want to ask is it possible to install Heroes 5 on Wine/PlayOnLinux with the same product key from Steam? Or maybe you can recommend me a way to install it on Linux? Ok. I am trying this with my native ubuntu 12.04 and I have ubuntu 13.04 in Virtual machine on which I am testing installation. Why Steam on Ubuntu 12.04 allows me to install Heroes 5, but it breaks when I press a keyboard key? And why Steam on ubuntu 13.04 says I cannot install it on my platform? Because it is virtual machine? For example I see Portal/Portal2 install button on Steam/Virtual Ubuntu 13.04


Infernal furnace bonus items

From the Thaumonomicon: "By capturing a Blaze and harnessing its energy within a furnace crafted from obsidian and netherbrick you have created a highly efficient and fuel free furnace. **So efficient in fact, that occasionally it will produce bonus material in the form of nuggets or other items** [...]" What are these bonus items and how high is the chance of producing them?


Generating all blocks of one type as another type?

Is there a mod or other method by which I could have a world in which wherever one type of block would normally be generated another type would be instead? Specifically, I was thinking it would be interesting and difficult to attempt playing in a world where all generated wood would be generated as obsidian instead and vice versa. Is there any existing way to do this? If not, can anyone guess how difficult such a mod would be to create? I've never done any modding of Minecraft before, but I have plenty of programming experience, and if it wouldn't be too time consuming of a project I would attempt it.

Where do I find the Inferno (Iron Man) armor?

I want to be one cool dude like Tony Stark. Fortunately, I heard through the grapevine that there's a perfect set of armor to satisfy this desire. I know there was a set that looked a lot like Iron Man in Mass Effect 2, and apparently they brought this forward into Mass Effect 3. **Where do I find the Inferno / "Iron Man" armor?** Can you pick it up for free on a mission, or do you have to buy it from the store?

Questions about the nature of frames for Super Smash Bros Brawl

I'll define a frame as a cyclic length of time.   1. Within a given frame, what are the intervals of time where: inputs are accepted, images are rendered and calculations begin and end? I'd consider the interval fully defined if I roughly know the start and end points relative to the frame. I would be OK with just a line of code but I would prefer some time intervals.   2. Also can the rendered images or calculations depend on inputs or lack of inputs from the the same frame? For example, I make an input to attack at a point on frame 1. Could the fighting game render an attack start-up image near the end of frame 1?   3. Does Super Smash Brothers Brawl normally run at 60.00 fps or 59.94 fps?   4. How accurate is the length of each frame compared to 1/60 or 1/59.94 of a second to the nearest millisecond? I'm looking for the average variation in ms and the range of variation from theoretical time spans.


Why is my PS3's internet so slow compared to my computer?

The results were stunning!   * Computer: 14.12 Mbps   * PS3: 0.89 Mbps When I ran this test I disconnected all devices except for the one that was running the test. Is the PS3's network card just bad, is it the browsers slow Flash rendering, or the browser itself?

Is there a way to increase the maximum horizon render distance in Minecraft?

I am wondering if anyone has discovered a way to increase the view distance to a much larger range. The highest setting is not very far and I can see strange blocks in the distance floating on the edge of what is visible. Ever played Mario Galaxy or Sunshine? Stuff in the distance sooo far away was still rendered. I think the PC could do this no problem, just need a way to tweak the client.

Are there any shops in hostile zones?

In _FTL: Faster Than Light_ , each sector is labeled as either **Civilian** , **[Species] Controlled** , or **Nebula**. Each of these sectors has a corresponding color that determines whether or not they are Friendly, Hostile, or a Nebula. I've found shops in Friendly sectors, I've found shops in Nebulas. I can't recall ever seeing a shop in a Hostile sector. I'm desperately low on fuel, and in dire need of a shop. The problem I'm facing is that I'm stuck going through three hostile sectors in a row. **Can I find a shop in a Hostile sector?**


What is required to play online on the Xbox 360 version of Borderlands?

I've bought Borderlands and I've been playing it on my own. I'm starting to get interested in playing co-op online, but never done it before so not sure how I go about it.   * Do I need to do anything else other than the game & an Internet connection?   * Do I just click on the Xbox live link in the game load screen to take me to the correct online location/screen etc?   * Do I need to buy an Xbox live card to be able to go online? A real newbie question but I've never played online, not sure how it works, and not sure if I'll prefer it to the single player I'm going through now. I don't want to pay loads of additional cash for Xbox live access and then not use it.

Doubts about 'Jungling' in League of Legends

I am new to League of Legends, only played 10 match in total till now. I read the term `Jungling` in some guides dedicated to champions of `League of Legends`. If I understood well it is the process of killing forest creatures. But I have some doubts about it:   * Is there a specific moment during the match where you can or have to jungle?   * In 5vs5 match a player on a lane could be left alone by another that is jungling and therefore became more easy to kill by opponents. Is it correct and how to prevent it?   * Can jungling be done by all champions or some of them should never try it?

How do I form the biggest baddest party in Oblivion?

I've restarted a game of Oblivion, and when escorting Martin and Jauffre from Weynon Priory, noticed I now actually have 2 essential (knocked unconscious instead of dieing) followers. I added the two Jermaine brothers and now have 4 essential followers - raiding oblivion towers has never been more fun. So I started wondering - **what would be the best party one could assemble this way**? Can I teach them spells (tomes) or give them better weapons? Can they hold stuff for me (like in Skyrim) or do things?


Comparing TN vs. IPS LCD monitors for gaming

Having never owned an LCD desktop monitor, I'm wondering what the advantages and disadvantages are between owning a TN and an IPS monitor in regards to gaming performance. While I know there are several factors upon which you can compare the two for general usage, I'm primarily concerned with the differences in gaming experience between them and what factors I would need to consider when comparing the two. I'm currently having difficulty disseminating information from pages and pages of forum posts. What I'm primarily looking for is a comparison between the following points, though any additional information in regards to differing factors would also be welcome:   * Refresh rate   * Responsiveness   * Graphics/texture quality differences due to varying color depth in displays


Is the Wii-U compatible with Gamecube games?

So despite some initial confusion about whether the WiiU was an accessory or a console successor to the Wii, I now understand that it _is_ , in fact, a new console. During its initial presentation, Nintendo lavished about the fact that the WiiU would be fully backwards compatible, at least with the Wii. I have also heard that it will use similar disc-based technology as its predecessor, and I was wondering if that applied to the Gamecube mini-discs as well (which the Wii was able to play).


Is there a need or purpose for the non-monster books?

The monster-related Books grant you Knowledge of those monsters, but what about the books on say Dwarves, or Magic, or History?

What is the benefit to monster knowledge?

If you go into the Character menu and look under Attributes, then Knowledge, there's entries for all the different monsters you've learned about. I know you can learn these entries via Books (level 3/3 knowledge right away) or by killing enough monsters (gradually increases to 3/3). What I don't know is the value or benefit to this knowledge. Increased damage to those enemies? Increased drops from those enemies (and if so, is that required for certain special craft components) ? Is it just the advice to the player (like don't try to poison Endregas) ?


Does Nightingale armor scale as you level light armor?

I am looking at a build centered around light armor, the lord stone, mara's blessing and breton resistences. One of the armors I would like to use is the nightingale one.

What's the maximum number of powered rails in a row that's useful?

I'm going through my rail network, replacing boosters with powered rails. However I'm finding that unlike boosters, which 'break' the laws of minecraft physics (by giving the cart much more momentum than its speed should allow), powered rails can't propel carts over very long distances, and it seems that even making a very long boost doesn't help this. How should I cluster my powered rails for maximum efficiency? How many should I put at a time, both on flat, and inclined stretches? ### Update I've un-answered this question and added a bounty to reflect the changes in 1.6.

Running SimCity in the background

I've found that a lot of this game involves simply waiting for money to roll in. It would be really nice to be able to build a city up to a point where it is 'stable', and then simply let the city run in the background accumulating wealth while I do other more productive and interesting tasks instead of just staring at my bank account increasing while occasionally dealing with the every now-and-then disaster. Even more importantly, before I learned the importance of education, my first nuclear power center had a meltdown rendering basically half of my city uninhabitable. Evidently, the radiation is supposed to eventually disappear, but only after some 20 or so odd in-game years, something I really don't want to have to actually wait through. Unfortunately, I've found that even in windowed mode, as soon as the window loses focus, the game seems to pause itself. Has anybody found a way to alter this behavior so as to allow the game to run in the background?

What abilities, mechanics, classes, spells, etc. are CHANGED by Kaedrin's PrC Pack for NWN2?

I've never messed around with Kaedrin's Prestige Class Pack before, but I'm in the process of installing it now because it'll let me put together the build I want for my next OC/MOTB run. (For the curious, I want to use the Stormsinger PrC to have a 30 Warlock for Eldritch Blast purposes and a 14 Bard for song purposes, with some other goodies besides). It's easy to go through the feat, class, and spell lists and find all the new stuff - and there's _tons_ of it, but I haven't been able to find a good list of existing feats, mechanics, and other things that Kaedrin's changes or replaces rather than simply adds. Some of these are fairly easy to spot over at NWN2DB once you've been told to look for them. For example, Expert Tactician was changed from a base version which was bugged and didn't actually do anything, to a flat +1 BAB feat. However, not all changes are even documented to that degree; I've seen references that Kaedrin's nerfs Combat Expertise by making the to hit penalty apply to touch attacks, but I can't find documentation of this anywhere. Is there a list somewhere of all the _existing_ things changed by Kaedrin's, to complement the excellent documentation of all the new things which it adds?

Is there any benefit to choosing the "do nothing" options in an encounter?

Aside from things like preventing hull damage in a space battle you might loose, or trying to get the _Coming in for my Pacifism run!_ achievement, is there ever any benefit or "good outcome" from choosing "do not attack" or other "do nothing" options like:   * _Explore the asteroid field?_ Too dangerous. We'll just wait for the FTL to charge.   * _Explore the nearby system with your impulse engines?_ Stay near the beacon.   * _You spot a rebel ship in the nebula ahead and stay off their radar.

Is "The Ball" locked at 30FPS, if so is there anyway to force it to go higher?

I've been playing, and enjoying "The Ball". However I noticed it was feeling kind of slow so I opened FRAPS, and found that my FPS wouldn't go above 30FPS regardless of settings. I tried lowering all of the graphics settings, and to my surprise I actually got even lower FPS than normal. I'm using a Nvidia GeForce GT430 (1GB), it isn't very powerful, but it should be able to hit 60FPS with this game (with lowered settings anyway). So is this game locked at 30FPS (or something else), or what can I do?

What can I do to lay off pitches in baseball games like MLB The Show?

I am still playing MLB 08: The Show (I know, I know it's very old). I am playing the career mode, road to the show. However I am having a lot i mean **A LOT** of trouble laying off the pitches. Sometimes I swing at pitches that are not even close to the strike zone, totally far away resulting in an embarrassing strike. The only way to not swing at the bad pitches is when I decide not to swing at the pitch before the pitcher throw the pitch. I need to do something about this, because I feel **REALLY STUPID** when I swing at the garbage that the pitchers throw.

It seems that the game is perfectly capable of running like that and it's only a stupid setting that stands in the way.


What are toasts? Can I eat those?

In the social tab under the options menu, there's a checkbox that reads `Show Toast Windows`, and then a duration for these toasts, what are they? how can I use them, and what are they for?


Moving Fallout NV game saves between PS3s?

I'm at someone else's house for a week, and wanted to load my Fallout New Vegas saves on their PS3. I brought a few saves on a USB stick which I've copied with the 'Save Game Utility'. When I load the savefile in Fallout NV, I get: > 'Warning: You are loading a save game that belongs to another user. You will > be unable to save your progress or unlock trophies.' Couldn't care less about the trophies, but I do need to save progress! Anyone have suggestions? I am not averse to a bit of savefile editing if that helps, but not sure where I'd find instructions on how to do it.


Is there a way to quickly switch weapons in Max Payne 3?

Sometimes I will be holding a shotgun/rifle and then it will break to a cut- scene. After the cut-scene completes there will be a lot of enemies but I will now be equipped with a pistol and the shotgun is strangely be dragged around in my other hand. Is there a way to quickly switch back to the shotgun instead of having to bring up the radial dial? I am playing on the Xbox 360, so please indicate if you can only do it on the PC.


How does the level limit work on quests?

The name says it all. How does the quest level limits work? My girlfriend just joined my game and I am in ActII and she is level 1 and was able to join. How can she join an Act she has never beat and can she out level the minimum requirements for ActI and never finish the game?


How should I make money?

I was wondering mostly if I should be selling my magic items (the bad ones) to NPCs or if I should just keep on trying to sell them on the auciton house... The limit of 10 simultaneous auctions hinders this "just put everything up for auction" mindset, so I was wondering what would be the "correct" way to earn money in this way. Also how should I decide whether to salvage or sell? Should I (ideally) be selling solely if I need money and salvaging only if I need crafting materials?


What do computer bugs do?

I can set the bug level using the computer from 0-4 for `graphical`, `quest` and `ultimate`. What do these actually do? Are they reversible or am I at risk of destroying my game?


When does the forest end?

I've been on this quest for about 20 minutes and it doesn't seem to have an end. I have 150,000 candies so far from killing the wolves, trees, etc. Am I just impatient? Another thing to note is that my screen is flooded with Octopus warriors - do they need to be out of the way for me to progress?


What abilities allow you to break control impairing effects and other conditions?

Occasionally, I've encountered opponents with the "Jailer" suffix, and some bosses seem to have attacks that hold you still (though you aren't frozen). I've discovered the Wizard's Mirror Image, if cast while rooted or frozen, will allow you to escape sometimes, and a message will pop up that says "Broke Root!" or "Broke Freeze!" This can often be the difference between life and death, so - what other abilities (for any class) allow you to break root?


What should I do when my faction is dying?

I've finally gotten a good thing going. I'm a married vassal, have two castles next to each other, around 1000 guys divided between the castles and 100 fully upgraded cavalry men in my army. Things were going well. Unfortunately the king of my faction decided to start wars with two other factions and after a while the rest decided to join in against the one I'm a part of. So, things are not looking good. Any advice on what I should do?


Are white or grey items worth picking up at all?

Once you're past the first few levels and not desperate for any little bump you can get, is it at all worth picking up the whites and greys littering the average battlefield? I'm know that every penny counts but would you make more by pushing forward and slaying gold dropping foes or getting to Nightmare and seeing more blues?


Where should the q3config.cfg file be?

I've installed Quake 3 with the Q3 Pro Installer, and I'm not sure where the thing put my `q3config.cfg` file, if at all. Now, I know that the file is usually in `[my directory of choice]\baseq3`, but the Pro Installer puts the file somewhere in my `AppData` folder, and I can't bloody remember where it specifically is! I faintly remember that it is supposed to be somewhere inside/close to `AppData/Local/Temp/`, but I've searched there with no results. Where exactly can I find my `q3config.cfg`? If the installer doesn't place one to begin with, where should I place it?


Is it possible to name streets or neighbourhoods?

In SimCity 4, I loved personalising my city by naming streets, building and neighbourhoods. Is this feature present in 2013 incarnation of SimCity?


per user language settings on Wii U

I recently bought a Wii U and intend to spend a lot of time playing games. I prefer to play these games in their original languages (usually English). My kid is 2.5 years old and eventually he'll want to pick up a controller as well. He doesn't speak English, as we live in the Netherlands and he's barely speaking Dutch at his age. Is it possible to configure the Wii U so that one user account is set to use the English language, and another is set to Dutch?

What do the icons next to a soldier's rank icon mean?

In combat, your selected soldier's rank is displayed as an icon at the bottom left corner of the screen. Sometimes a yellow star or a white cross will appear on top of it. What do these icons signify? Are there any others?


What do the statues on Ilos represent?

In my first play-through of Mass Effect, I thought these might be statues of the Protheans. ![Ilos Statue](http://i.stack.imgur.com/Gk7Nh.jpg) > However, in Mass Effect 3 with the From Ashes DLC, we later find out that > Protheans look nothing like that.   >   >  ![Javik](http://i.stack.imgur.com/hzcc0.jpg) I've played through all of the Trilogy, though I haven't played some of the DLC. > In fact, I only know of Javik via the Mass Effect Wiki - I'll be playing > From Ashes soon, though. Is there some point at which these statues are explained, that I'm forgetting?
