What are the different places on the map?

I've noticed that the map has different types of landscape. Does this play into the game at all? I'm mostly concerned with combat in these places. Are certain enemies only in specific areas? Do some areas make you more likely to enter combat? For example, when entering a location designated with a `.` the side-bar said:               the trees are gone. parched earth     and blowing dust are poor     replacements.      Logically, enemies would then be able to see you from greater distance, so chance of combat might go up? When I went back into the `T` this message appeared:               a wall of gnarled trees rises from     the dust. their branches twist into     a skeletal canopy overhead.      The `,` says:               the trees yield to dry grass. the     yellowed brush rustles in the     wind.      Also, I assume `#` is some kind of path since I seem to not get attacked there I saw this wiki but the only helpful info was:               O - A Deserted Town. The player can encounter a Thug, a Vigilante, a Beast, or     a Scavenger. The player may also encounter an Overturned Caravan or a Small     Cache of Supplies with a random assortment of rewards, a Small Basket of Food     with Cured Meat. Once conquered, the Deserted Town will turn into An Outpost.          P - An Outpost. A safe clearing that refills the player's water supply, and     provides the player with Cured Meats. Outposts can only be utilized once for     each journey out into the Barren World, but are replenished once the player     returns back to their village.


What content does the paid Magic 2014 version have that the free version doesn't?

I just downloaded Magic 2014 on my Android device as a free app. Unfortunately, when you launch it you're asked you if you want to purchase the full game for $10. My question is: **What is the missing content for the full version?**


Is there any reason to focus on few weapon skills?

I've been trying out the chars in BL 1 and am sticking to Lilith. Seeing as you can be more proficient at certain weapons, I'm wondering - can you spread yourself too thin if you swap between a large variety of weapons?


How many bee hives are there per world?

I have recently stumbled upon a jungle in my large terraria world and found a beehive inside it. Excited, I rushed in with bombs and summoned a queen bee. I tried to kill the boss but failed. After my defeat I attempted to find another bee hive in the jungle but as of now I can't find any. My question is: How many bee hives spawn per jungle and does it matter on the size of the world if it is multiple like the floating islands? I have checked the wiki and it says nothing about it.


What was up with the coin flip question?

No Strawberry seeds in Year 5

I am currently playing Harvest Moon:The Tale of Two Towns (US release).   I am living in Konohana.   According to all of the FAQ sites out there, Strawberry seeds should become available in Spring of year 3. I am in year 5, and have been visiting Gombe's seed shop 5 days a week (it is closed for two days) for the last three years and I have never been able to find strawberry seeds. Is this a known bug? Does anyone know of another way to get Strawberry seeds?   Some of the ways I have tried (unsuccessfully):   1. Lose the cooking contest in Spring and hope for some Strawberry seeds as a consolation prize   2. Look for Strawberries as a reward from a message board task, and hope to use my seed maker   3. keep checking the Seed store every day In year 5, spring, the crop festival involves strawberries, and I am quite out of ideas at this stage.


Is this board solvable?

Can anyone tell me an answer to this Minesweeper problem. I have to find just 2 mines from 4 spaces. What I really want to know is the sure shot way to solve puzzle (no guessing) ![](http://i.stack.imgur.com/Hmkfr.jpg) I have found all but 2 mines in lower right corner position. I want an explanation to the answer. I am not obsessed with Minesweeper, but with the solution. Also if answer involves some mathematics, I will try to understand that.


When Should I Explore The Jungle?

On my previous runs of Terraria, I find myself diving into deep caves to get Copper, Iron, Silver and Gold materials first, then taking that loot and going up against an Eater of Worlds, then taking THAT loot along with Meteor equipment to fight Skellitron, then taking on the Dungeon, then taking on Hell, where I get my penultimate equipment from. But...the problem there is that exploration of The Jungle is completely left out by this order. And I'm not entirely sure where it should go. I think going in without Gold gear would be too dangerous, but Corrupt gear gets me ready for the Dungeon, and after that I usually go to Hell, so...when should I go? I realize Terraria is an open world, where exploration is entirely dependent on what you want to do, but I feel like I'm not properly optimizing my delving experience by not having a plan for when to explore The Jungle.


Are all 'feeders' leveled up cards?

I've read that 4* 'feeders' are cards that are Lvl 55, as that helps grows the 5* cards. I also came across some trading posts for 2* & 3* feeders, are these also leveled up versions and if so, to what level? Also, why are the 4* feeders leveled up to 55, since there are higher levels in the game?


MacOS 1.8.5 + Minecraft 1.6.4 doesn't close cleanly - CPU 100%

A vanilla Minecraft installation on my Macbook Pro will regularly take my CPU to 100% and keep it there even after quitting. I don't think I'm doing anything particulary demanding with my setting, and in any case, it really does seem as if it's a bug if the game won't quit cleanly. I'd certainly appreciate any advice on steps I might take to workaround this. I will try a completely clean reinstall just in case previous experiments with resource packs have caused a problem. **Further Information/Update:** The problem recurs with a new install, but does not happen on a different map. The safe map is much smaller (a flat world that I use in creative to do redstone experiments); the unsafe map is pretty large I suppose, though hardly enormous and it used to work fine. Is there any possibility of corruption in map data leading to this buggy behviour?


What counts as an armored target for the purposes of the 'D4TH Blossom' SMG?

The 'D4TH Blossom' SMG's Level 4 upgrade is described in-game as: " _Armor piercing bullets do more damage and pass through armor_ ". ![](http://i.stack.imgur.com/LyZ25l.jpg) **What counts as an armored target?** What targets will the D4TH Blossom's bullets pass through, and what targets will take more damage? Are vehicles, aircraft, structures (like the ones you destroy in missions) or brutes considered armored for the purposes of the'D4th Blossom' SMG's Level 4 upgrade? Note: I've read the Saint Row Wiki's D4TH Blossom article, where it states that it " _penetrate the hulls of light vehicles to hit targets behind them (I.E. it can shoot through a door to hit a driver), and allow it to puncture riot shields._ " So besides that, are there any other targets that are affected? Or can anyone expound on what vehicles count as a "light vehicle" or not? Will vehicles take more damage from a Level 4 D4TH Blossom?


Should I use my first SHT on Berneside plains?

Currently lvl 6 and can't hunt anywhere besides Berneside, I just got a special hunting ticket from the story mode. I don't plan to spend any money on the game, and from reading it appears that the higher level (and newer?) plains tend to have the better guardians. Of course, the flip side is that my current team is a pitiful group, two 3*s and lower ranked rabble :-) - so adding even 'ok' cards would be a great help. Is it better to wait for lvl 12 and try hunting in Glaverow (or maybe even save all SHT for much later on), or does spending a few SHT not really matter much in the overall picture? _As there are significant differences between the two, please note this is for the **Android** version._


Will I miss anything important if I turn the sound off?

In the Dwarf Fortress options menu, the _Music and Sound_ option allows you to set the desired volume, however this is a single option that will turn off both music and sound is set to 0. For the moment I would like to play without the music on, but as a new player, I'm a bit worried that I might miss something important if I do this, like a sound effect indicating that something fun has happened. Will turning the sound off affect anything other than the music volume?

I'm in the opening sequence and using the cylinders seems to be the best way to deal with the mercenaries.


A vassal declares war on my heir. What to do?

I have recently made my heir the ruler of a small county I recently conquered. Problem is, one of my other vassals suddenly declared war on my heir over his county! Most uncool. I've not yet given my heir any other titles, and since it is a small and recently conquered county, he can barely raise any levy of his own. Defeat is therefore imminent for him. I thought about imprisoning the aggressor, but it seems challenging my heir is not a justified reason to do so. Nor can I revoke his title. As I see it, I have a few options:   1. Give control of more powerful counties to my heir, thus making his powerbase stronger   2. Let them duke it out for themselves, and plot against the aggressor   3. Imprison/assinate/revoke the title of the aggressor anyway I don't really like the third option, even if it seems the most natural. The reason being, that the bishops for example like me just a bit more than the pope, and the penalty would make them pay their tax to him instead. The numbers are not in my favour for an assassination attempt. Option two may also have some drawbacks. What happens if my heir is jailed by the aggressor? Would I have to ransom him out (and how does that work)? It might take years for me to set up a plot against him, and it's not cool to have my heir sit in the slammer in the meantime — and even then, I wouldn't know how to free him. Would he be transferred to me when the aggressor suddenly gets whacked of natural causes, or do all his prisoners receive the get-out-of-jail-free-card? Have I overlooked any options? It would be nice to simply demand the aggressor to denounce his claim, or to give military support to my heir somehow — as far as I can see, my best bet here is option one above, even if it leave less profit$ for myself. How can I avoid this in the future? In hindsight, I guess I should have given my heir more power right off the bat, but I wanted to expand a little bit to give him a complete duchy. **EPILOGUE**   It's been a while, but here is the thrilling conclusion to my little conundrum. I pondered over it, and figured out I had been unwise when dividing up my lands. I had reached my limit before my son became of age, and had ended up giving a strong county to the later aggressor. When my son came of age, I gave him a small recently aqcuired land (means no standing army) as I had planned to expand and give him a whiole region later on. Now, seeing as the land I had given him was useless anyway, I gave him a better one. Still not enough to win the war, but at least he'd still have a title while I plotted revenge. Coincidentally, my ruler died shortly after, and the heir became a young king with a strong goal to take out the garbage. I knew the count wanted a duchy, so I planted my spy master there and waited a few years, untill he discovered a plot. I actually failed to imprison him, which may not have been such a bad thing, because I could then crush him with military might, which is more satisfying anyway. Since I had a claim to my original land, I first revoked that title (I realized, that I might have been able to do that as soon as I became king. Comments?) I then revoked his first title, on the grounds of treachery. This meant I went over my demesne limit, but instead of making the same mistake of handing out lands to third parties, I've decided to hang on to it untill my heir becomes of age (ten years or so). Lastly, I upped the crown authority to medium, which means none of my vassals my wage war on eachother. _Slightly off-topic, but interesting post scriptum_   A curious thing happened. I wanted the count to rebel against me, so I could have his head cut off, and tried numerous things, such as making him a court jester and bad mouthing him. Finally, I raised all his units (only a couple of hundred) and sent them off to the holy land, figuring this would not please him. Coincidentally, a prolonged crusade had been going on, and the city it was all about, was unguarded. I moved my forces in. I hadn't nearly enough men to besiege anything, untill a rather large English force moved in shortly after. Since I was there first, I became the siege leader. With such a large army of people I didn't care about, I kept assaulting the walls. Although all my men died, the city was taken in my honour. I didn't bother sending more men, but the sultan never retook the city, meaning I slowly racked up the war score. When he eventually sued for peace, I therefore "won" the crusade with absolutely no effort, and the pope declared months of celebrations in my name!


Is there a way to run Minecraft 1.7.9 from the command line, and connect to a server without seeing the launcher or main menu?

I'm trying to set up an easy way to get into a server I'm running by just clicking on a .bat file or .command file, on PC and Mac, and I've found guides for getting it to work for 1.6 or 1.7.4, but none of them work any more for 1.7.9. Does anyone here know if there is a way currently?

What's the maximum Directive Score a player can have?

Recently in Planetside 2, the Directives system was added in the July 2014 update. With this system in place, players can earn points (Directive Score) for completing tiers of Directives under the three categories of "Infantry", "Vehicles", and "Weapons". There are usually four tiers for each of the Directives (Novice, Adept, Expert, and Master). My question is the following: what is the maximum Directive Score that a player can attain by completing all the tiers of every directive?


How do I log out of an account on Steam for Android?

I have installed Steam for Android on my Nexus 7 tablet and logged into one of my Steam accounts (I have several). Now I'm trying to log out of that account to log into another but I cannot find the log out option. On the main menu there is an "Exit Application" option, but this simply closes the application but doesn't actually allow you to change the currently logged in account. Starting Steam up again after exiting the application simply logs back into the same account again. How do I log out of an account on Steam mobile?


VIP stuck in the back of a van? (Council Extraction Mission)

During a small enemy engagement a nearby van was destroyed and some of its walls - leaving it now accessible. Problem is that during this enemy encounter my VIP panicked and ran into the back of this van...problem is that now he's stuck and can't get out. ![XCOM VIP stuck in a van](http://i.stack.imgur.com/SicTW.jpg) Does anyone know of a method by which I can get him down from his elevated position? TBH it does seem pretty ridiculous that a VIP can't even get down from a van...anyhow I've killed all hostiles _(at great expense of life)_ so I really don't want to lose this VIP over something as silly as this.


Thousand Cuts area seen from atop The Bunker - how to get to it?

I just defeated The Bunker during the mission _Where Angels Fear to Tread_ , and was taking in the view when I noticed one of those incandescent-bulb directional arrows off in the distance. It is high atop a mountain and points down to a plateau beneath it, and just below that plateau is a lake, where if you watch long enough you'll see a thresher spawn. So I'm wondering if that's an Easter Egg of some sort, or is it truly an area you can reach? ![Thousand Cuts Mystery Area](http://i.stack.imgur.com/A8Jdw.jpg)

How do I change the shading on tiles in Civilization 5?

I've been playing Civ 5 for a week or so now, having grown up playing the entire Civ series. The one thing that is driving me absolutely nuts: I can't figure out how to get shading over the revealed-but-outside-of-my-view tiles. I'm used to these having a dark tint to them, or something that indicates that I have explored, but, can't see it. I've seen various screenshots that show a lovely dark tint to these tiles. Any idea what setting I need to change to make it easier to determine what I can and can't see? On the image below: That's my city border in the upper right corner. There's no distinguishable difference between the tiles just outside it and the rest of the tiles. ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/aQNSX.jpg) **Edit:** A great example of the shading I would like to get can be found in the image below (taken from an answer to another question.

Are coins awarded between races in a Grand Prix?

A follow-up question from here. The main question is: > Are coins saved to your account at the end of the race, or at the end of a > Grand Prix, in Mario Kart 8 (or every Mario Kart, for that matter) 'We' always talk about coins awarded every race, because then it is determined how much you _should_ earn, but is it also saved at that moment to your account? For example, you collect 10 coins in race 1, 5 in race 2. Half-way during race 3 you have 7 coins, but I remember the pizza in the oven is done, and I have to eat. Because I can't play MK8 during pizza eating, I quit the game from the in-game menu, and turn off the Wii U. How much coins do I have extra then:   * 0, because the GP isn't finished   * 15, because that is the amount of coins collected in _finished_ races   * 22, because that is the amount of coins collected in _finished_ races and the amount I have in this race In the first two cases, rage quitting would not result in a lower coin amount, but the third option will. However, the third option would be exploitable, by starting a GP (with 5 coins) and quit immediately. Of course it is more fun by playing, but this way coin grinding is a lot faster (and you need 10000 coins for the Gold Glider


What is the most efficient/standard way to heal a raid as a Holy Paladin?

I've been getting into raiding recently and have been gearing my Paladin towards healing. I've healed many dungeons and Heroics with great success. Unfortunately, this has mostly trained me for single-target healing for relatively short boss fights, and raid healing seems to be quite different. I know I'm doing something wrong, because no matter what I try I can't seem to approach the upper echelon of healers (top 3 on Recount) at all. I realize that the way you heal can change drastically based on the boss your group is fighting, but my question is about the "general standard". Here is the strategy I use:   1. Beacon of Light the off tank.   2. Spam Holy Light on the main tank. This gives him the Illuminated Healing buff (damage absorption) and heals the off tank for the equivalent amount.   3. Use Holy Shock to generate holy power and keep Eternal Flame on both the main tank and the off tank.   4. If the entire raid needs healing: spam Holy Radiance -> Holy Shock -> Light of Dawn. There are two big problems with this. First is the fact that, as I've said, my healing numbers are way, way too low. Clearly something is wrong. I have a lot of "overheal" using this method. The second big issue is that I tend to run out of mana about halfway through any reasonable boss fight. Even using Divine Plea doesn't really help much. What am I doing wrong? How can I heal my raids better?

What is the secret to effective switch-axing?

So I really like the concept of the Switch Axe -- a swiss army weapon that can be either an elementally charged sword _OR_ a giant axeblade. However, in practice, I'm finding it a hard weapon to slay beasties with, compared to my go-to weapon, the Sword & Shield. But I want to learn a longer weapon to make certain things (like tail cutting) easier on the taller monsters. Some things that are throwing me for a loop:   * **Speed** - When I have the axe out, my hunter moves more slowly. When I have the sword out, my hunter can barely stagger around. A big problem (for me) when fighting large monsters is keeping up with the buggers! They don't like to stand still and let you wail on them!   * **Combos** - Pretty much any combination of X and A gives me a nice combo with the Sword & Shield, and assuming I'm close enough to my target, things die pretty quick. Switch axe has these combos in sword mode, but I'm trying to find uses for Axe mode. Most of what I end up mashing stops after 1 or 2 hits.   * **Specials** - I really like the Sword / Shield jumping attack; it moves you forward, essentially allowing you a longer reach (I can even hit tails swinging above my head). The Switch Axe's specials are less obvious, both in how and when to use them. Axe Mode gives me a sort of "Helicoptor Effect" that depletes stamina for continuous attack. Seems pretty nifty, but see "Speed" above. Sword mode gives me some sort of... gassy explosion? And then I have to reload my sword afterwards? Eh? Not really understanding what's going on here. Anyone have hints, tips, or useful gameplay videos to demonstrate how to properly use one of these big, badass weapons?


Is it possible to play in the middle of nowhere?

The Watch Dogs Live ARG app here in Canada is about some kind of arbitrary hacking of locations or so it seems, but I wouldn't know because there are never any locations for me to hack.

Is this dependent upon proximity to some specific people or places in particular? I thought the instructions seemed pretty straightforward, but am I missing something?

Will Minecraft run decent on a Mac Mini?

I am thinking about getting a Mac Mini for doing some basic tasks like typing, video editing etc. The cheapest one with 4gb of RAM seems good enough to me, but how well will it run Minecraft? I use the 1.7.2 version mainly because a private server I frequent has not updated. I have heard mixed reports, some saying it runs about 30fps (which is fine for me), some saying it's terrible. I know Macs are not made for gaming, but Minecraft will run on my very low-end PC with decent results, so I'm guessing it might be OK.

How do I get the "Payback" achievement?

In Half-Life 2 Episode Two there is a "Payback" achievement. Its description reads: > Kill a Hunter with its own flechettes. I have spent quite some time trying to get that achievement but I am not sure how to do it. I have tried to pick up the flechettes by hand or with the gravity gun. I have tried standing so that another Hunter shoots the Hunter I want to kill. I have tried hitting a Hunter with my car while its flechettes stuck to it but none of them got me the achievement. Suddenly I received this achievement when I was throwing some stuff at a Hunter with the gravity gun killing it in the process. I have no idea why that happened, maybe there were flechettes attached to the stuff I was throwing at it. What is the proper way to get the achievement? Are you really only supposed to throw stuff at the Hunter that happens to have some of this Hunter's flechettes stuck on it?

What do I do with the stunner on my wrist?

I was given a wrist attachment that's supposed to be a stunner of some kind. I was also told that when I come across a case when its needed I will be told, except I haven't come across that situation yet. What am I supposed to do with it?


Is there any detriment to fighting battles in Easy Mode?

When you die in a battle, you get the option to retry it in Easy Mode if you so wish. It does make the battles a lot easier, but then I got to wondering - is there any sort of penalty in-game if I take the easy mode option? Or is Nintendo just being nice and helping me not want to throw my 3DS when battles are too hard?


What roles can Evelynn fulfill?

How do you make Evelynn work?

> **Possible Duplicate:**   >  How does one play Evelynn effectively in the laning phase on Summoners > Rift? Is there a way to play Eve effectively since they removed her stun? Laning seems to be impossible, she doesn't seem to be able to 1v1 anyone, her jungle is very slow/counterable, and when I gank someone with an ally, I always feel like for stealth shaco does more damage with more cc + slow, and any other hero with a slow would bring more utility/damage. Any suggestions?


Is it possible to prevent this character's death?

Does Caltrops affect flying opponents?

While fighting through a tomb I encountered several flying opponents. They were fairly quick and required some running away to deal with them effectively as a Demon Hunter. They seemed to ignore Caltrops altogether. Is this perception correct, do flying creatures actually fly and avoid the caltrops?


Can I do the speed run achievements after I finish the act?

There are 4 achievements for speed runs, one for each act, and another for completing all of them. Will I be able to do those runs after I finish the game with a developed character and how, or do they have to be done on the first trial of a certain difficulty? ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/7HNHK.jpg)

Super Adventure Box Infantile Mode

I've collected all kind of guides and walkthroughs to help me get all the achievements in Super Adventure Box. I'm going to run through the complete SAB two or three times to make sure I get them all. For example, I have a playthrough where I cannot die, and I have another playthrough to get all the baubles, secret rooms and digsites. I was wondering myself one thing though: Which achievements cannot be completed anymore when you enable Infantile Mode?

Using a headset with Rock Band 3 for vocals

In the past, I've played guitar in RB3/GHWT and sung at the same time using a mic stand and the GHWT mic. This works fine with the stock mic, because the guitar's strum and buttons are fairly quiet. However, I like playing drums more, but they don't play nicely with the mic because of their being considerably louder... Thus, I was wondering if it would be possible to use a gaming headset instead of the speakers and stock mic; listening through the headphones and singing through the mic. Could this work? Has anyone tried it? I was considering using a standard USB headset, but they use the same plug for mic and audio out, which wouldn't work. Thus, I'm thinking about using a standard 3.5mm headset with separate stereo plugs for mic and headphones, with the mic plug attached to my 360 via a 3.5mm -> USB converter of sorts (see below). Thoughts? Something like these:   * http://www.amazon.com/Channel-External-Sound-Audio-Adapter/dp/B007HISGRW/ref=pd_sim_e_4   * http://www.amazon.com/Syba-SD-CM-UAUD-Adapter-C-Media-Chipset/dp/B001MSS6CS/ref=pd_sim_e_1 TL;DR: Can I use a gaming headset's mic for vocals in Rock Band 3 (Xbox 360)?


Is there any pattern to alerts?

As far as I can see and read Alert missions are the most effective way to get credits and can have some unique rewards that you can get no where else. ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/UBHD4.png) But is there any pattern to when they happen? Sometimes it feels like I can play for hours without seeing any pop up and other times they are constantly there, sometimes even more than one is going on at the same time.

Does Simcity materials serve any other purpose besides income and great works

Do the materials in SimCity 5 serve any other purpose besides income and great works? My point is whether it is necessary or not, to keep producing facilities in your city after you have completed your Great Work? It sure gives you the extra cash, and gives your Sims a place to work. But do they serve any other purpose to the city? The alternative is to have more RCI in your city.


Is there a quick way to defeat Master Gee?

Turns out there's a cheap, quick way to beat Hyperious the Invincible. However neither the Baby Maker trick (thow lots of strong explosive reloads) or The Bee & Conference Call combo seem to work against Master Gee The Invincible. In fact, the only apparent way to kill Gee is to "kite" him for 10+ minutes, making him walk into little pools of acid until he slowly dies. Is there a faster way to deal with him or is that really the only way to defeat him? The fastest I've seen him killed is about 8 minutes: While this is relatively impressive, he'd need to die in a couple minutes max to be remotely appealing to fight due to how quickly Hyperious can be taken down (even counting the robots).


I've lost my castle, how do I find where I built it?

After generating a new creative world (large biomes) I went around looking for an extreme hills biome. I did this by `tp`ing randomly in x and z directions in multiples of 10,000 (or possibly 100,000). My problem is, I died, and hadn't reset spawn. I've opened my map in Minutor, but couldn't find it easily. How on earth do I find the castle I just built?

Stuck at login screen

When I login in World of Warcraft, I just get the "Success!" message, when I click on "cancel" the realm selection screen comes up, but when I try to login on any realm I just get the message "Logging in to game server" and this don't changes even after a few minutes (most of the time sometimes I can login after a while). What should I do to fix this?


Is there anyway to relocate to a dungeon without walking to it's location in the game world?

Some of the Dungeons are located in areas I've never explored, and it would be ideal if I could enter dungeons without needing to explore these locations and unlock their way points. Not just for the sake of saving time, but also because I usually save unexplored areas for secondary characters so I still have new content to experience on a second play through. Is there anyways to enter a dungeon without walking to the dungeon in the game world?


How can I teleport one player to a random other player using a potion as the trigger?

I am making a MC map and need help. I want to make it that when someone uses a certain potion, that same person teleports to a random user on the map. I read another post like this, but I think it was unrelated. I can't use the @p thing because the other players might teleport instead. I know to use the `/effect` code on command blocks and some other commands.


After Christmas decorator bonus level, are residents and jobs unbalanced?

I'm hoping someone can point out the flaw in the following observation, and that the game works a little better than I'm thinking right now. Before the Christmas decorator droid bonuses, getting all the levels of businesses and residences balanced the number of bitizens and the number of jobs. The Christmas decorator droid bonus of Panna City Medicines adds jobs, but there's no way to add residences. Therefore, if you're at the max, you have no way to fill all your jobs; you're going to come up 3 bitizens short. What have I overlooked in getting these jobs staffed? TIA.

Are enemy models looking at what they look or at what they shoot?

In first person shooters, normally, there's no difference between "what you're looking at" and "where you're shooting." Your weaponry is "head mounted" and you're always aiming at the center of your screen. There is now a general expectation that people that shoot at you also look at you, and, conversely, that if you're playing spy and you're looking at somebody's back, that somebody can't just shoot at you without turning all the way around. TF2, however, has recently introduced Oculus Rift support and now allows a few lucky (and disoriented) players to look in a direction and shoot in another. How is this conveyed to other players, however? Do they try to show the body and weapon moving independently from the head? Does the model move just with the head, or only with the gun?


What should I do with the training reports?

In Football Manager 2011, I get a monthly report from my assistant coach on how well (or not well) some of my players have trained in the past month. What should I do with that? If a player failed to improve in training, should I increase their training load? Change their focus? Something else?

Do plants in clay pots have to be offscreen to grow?

I'm starting a clay pot farm in Terraria with a modest two pots. One's got daybloom, the other moonglow. I didn't see any information that suggested they had to be offscreen to bloom, so I put my pots in my main base. It's been 5 or 6 days since I planted them, and they're still just little green shoots. I suspect they have to be offscreen, but I've spent a couple of the past few days mining and expected that would give them enough time to bloom. What the heck did I do wrong?


How can I find the CD Key used in a Diablo 2 installation?

I have Diablo 2 installed on my old gaming PC, and was looking to install it on my new gaming rig. The problem I have is that while I have the install discs and things, I cannot for the life of me find the CD Key. Is there a way to figure out what the key on the old PC is so I can copy it and use it on the new PC? I assume it is stored in a file or registry setting somewhere on the old box...


What exactly does the Christmas update in Cookie Clicker do?

A new update was rolled out today (2013-12-10), bumping the game up to version 1.04 and adding some new features. The changelog states: >   * there is now a festive new evolving upgrade in store >   * reindeers are running amok (catch them if you can) >   * added a new option to warn you when you close the window, so you don't > lose your un-popped wrinklers >   * also added a separate option for displaying cursors >   * all the Halloween features are still there (and having the Spooky > cookies achievements makes the Halloween cookies drop much more often) >   * oh yeah, we now have Cookie Clicker shirts, stickers and hoodies > (they're really rad) > But what _exactly_ has changed? What new upgrades and achievements are there and how do I use/unlock them?


Does running MW2 means you can run MW3?

I read somewhere that MW2 and MW3 share the same core. But the system requirements are a bit different. Does this means that if I can run very smoothly MW2, I can run smoothly MW3 on the same computer? For example, my Pentium 4 3.2 ghz, 3GB ram, with ATI HD 2400 PRO 512MB runs very smoothly MW2, does this means I'll run smoothly MW3?

What exactly do the Guardian summon weapons do?

The Guardian is able to summon 4 different arcane weapons to aid him in battle. These include the Sword of Justice, The Hammer of Wisdom, The Shield of the Avenger and the Bow of Truth. In all the cases, except the bow, the description says: "Summons an arcane (weapon) to defend you." The bow says: "Summons an arcane bow to cure conditions on you and your allies. The wiki doesn't do much better to elaborate exactly what it does. I have noticed that the hammer seems to be able to knock down foes and even push them back sometimes. The specifics from the sword and the shield is less noticeable so I don't quite understand what they do exactly. Can someone explain exactly what each weapon is capable of. I'm also curious how often the bow can remove conditions from my allies and me. Please note that I am not talking about the secondary skills you can activate after you summon the weapons that will also destroy the weapon itself. I am referring to what it is capable of right after you summon it while its fighting on its own. Because there are 4 different summoned weapons and only three non-elite slots to equip it, I am curious which of the summoned weapons are more advantageous in different situations. Knowing exactly what each weapon is capable of will go a long way in this decision.


Finding total character death count

Why improving shields boosts their attack and stability values only?

When upgrading shields, only their attack and stability values appear to increase. As I understand the need for the latter, why does attack increase and not defense attributes? Who uses shields for attack?! This has prevented me from upgrading my fave shields, when I would really like them retain them and make them more powerful.

What happens to ranged promotions when the unit becomes melee?

Some upgrade paths transform a unit from a ranged one to a melee one - for example, a crossbowman normally upgrades to a rifleman. However, ranged units get different damage-increasing promotions from melee units. What happens to those ranged-damage promotions in that case? Do they still apply, or are they completely wasted?

How should I use mines in CoH?

Mines can be placed anywhere and cause heavy damage to any enemy moving over them. However, they are not free, and require resources and time to be set up. Where and when should I lay down mines? The general idea should be to have them cover paths that are often crossed and places of strategic relevance (e.g. VPs), but are there any details or tricks that increase effectiveness?

How to perform chops with gloves in Secret of Mana?

I always wondered how to exactly perform chops with the gloves weapon in Secret of Mana. The computer often does them, and sometimes I do them too. But I don't know how to consistently perform them. I recently tried to attack from behind the enemies and it seemed to be more successful, but I'm not sure if it's simply luck or something else. I discovered there are different chops depending on which level of concentration you release, but the likelihood to chop combined with the time needed to concentrate made them occur something like three times in the last playthrough I've done. So is there a way to be sure to chop? Or is it random?


Is it possible for a Mob to spawn *right next to* the player in Minecraft?

According to Minepedia/Light, the changes that occurred in the Halloween update make torches useless for level 16 and below (incidentally, also the level where diamonds start). Now, that's all fine and dandy, but if a Mob such as a Creeper spawns **right next** to the player, the player has no time to react. This is particularly bad with Creepers, because one spawning next to you is generally impossible to avoid, particularly in tunnels and such. That doesn't seem like it would be fair at all (to make next-to-random insta- deaths-by-creeper for the player), and I would be surprised if it behaved that way, but I've not heard or seen anything that indicates that it does not operate that way. More to the point, even in dark areas I've never had a mob spawn right in front of my face. Sometimes if I'm on top of a hill or something of that sort you can see one spawn in the distance, but never next to you. This leads me to believe that it can't happen, though again I've had no confirmation of this. Can a mob spawn right next to you in Minecraft? N.B. I'm referring to darkness-induced spawning. Of course a mob spawner can cause mobs that spawn right next to you ;)


What is the meaning of the Black Ops "Ascension" numbers

During the intro of Call of Duty Black Ops one of the cut scenes has a lady read "Ascension 7-15-1-2-19-7-25-6-13-6-7-15-14-0" into a microphone. Is this relevant to anything other than the single player campaign? (Which I haven't played through yet)

Champion picking

I am currently a lvl 20 player in League of Legends but seeing as im playing plenty lately i am preparing for the tougher opponents instead of the trolling players. So i was wondering what champion to pick against certain champs. I know this is a very large question but i simply need the idea. So if (for example) mundo counters darius (tank counters bruiser). For example Darius counters Teemo. But Darius is weak against Jayce. This is just one example and a specific one but im simply asking for a global explanation so tanky champions counter bruisers. etc. Bonus points awarded for one who gives a complete and entire list (although this is a massive task). Some explaining would be greatly appreciated. Ok although i've received some decent answers its still to champion oriented. I would be happy with a general assumption of what kind of champs counter which. So bruiser counters tank, tank counters adc. (examples ofc). The bonus points awarded to a full list (so the answer of the question + a list of champions).


Can I play PS3 games from another country?

I'm going to buy Assassins Creed 3 on amazon.com, but my friend told me if I buy it from there, I can't play because I have a PS3 from Iceland (where I live). It is true? Does the PS3 have region locking that will prevent a US copy of Assassin's Creed 3 from playing on an Icelandic PS3?


Requiem/Frostfall causing constant Stamina loss

I just reinstalled Skyrim and have installed a couple of mods alongside it, including both Requiem and Frostfall for a more immersive/hardcore experience. However, something is _constantly_ draining my Stamina for no apparent reason. I have checked my active magic effects and nothing indicates that I should be losing Stamina. This results in my Stamina being empty _all_ the time, which causes me to drop my weapons after 1/2 hits. It's getting really frustrating; I don't think this is how the mods should work.

Is there a significant delay from you hitting a panel and it registering and does this vary much between machines?

I've played a good bit of Battlefield 4, and used a number of the pickup weapons to good effect, but when browsing through the weapons list, I came across 2 I've never seen: the **USAS-12 FLIR** and the **AMR-2 CQB**.

Questions while setting up the combo XBOX360 + TV + Home Theater

I'm trying to set up a little combo to enhance the quality of the overall play. Did someone succeed at setting up an XBOX360 to play games on a TV and output the audio through a Home Theater? I thought that if I can connect the XBOX using HDMI to the TV and use the common connectors with the home theater I might be able to do it, but the ports for both connections are way too close, and I can't connect both. Any Ideas?


Where can I find my space docker?

I had gotten the space car, and I saved it in Franklin's garage. Next, I saved the game and quit playing. When I played the game today, the car isn't in either of Franklin's garages or the impound. There was time when we would save a car under Franklin, and then it would end up in either Michaels or Trevor's garage or in impound, so we checked those as well. We even tried going back to where we got it from and nothing! Is it gone forever or how do we get it back?

I've got Minecraft PE 0.8.1 and I can't connect to realms. I have good Internet, but it says an error occurred and it was logged with a code I don't know. Please help.


What are the requirements to be able to run the Sims 3 with all expansions packs and custom items?

**Below are a list of all The Sims 3 expansion packs in order of release (source):**   * World Adventures   * High-End Loft Stuff   * Ambitions   * Fast Lane Stuff   * Late Night   * Outdoor Living Stuff   * Generations (May 31, 2011)   * Town Life Stuff   * Pets   * Master Suite   * Showtime   * Katy Perry's Sweet Treats Stuff   * Diesel Stuff   * Supernatural   * Seasons   * 70's, 80's & 90's Stuff   * University Life Each packs adds various new items, and adds to the game. **The minimum requirements for the base game are as follows (source):**   * 2.4 GHz P4 processor or equivalent   * 1.5 GB RAM   * 128 MB Video Card with support for Pixel Shader 2.0   * Microsoft Windows Vista Service Pack 1   * At least 6.1 GB of hard drive space with at least 1 GB of additional space for custom content and saved games I've read that with each expansion pack that you install the longer load times will be (depending on your computer). I've looked at the specifications that are recommended, and my computer exceeds them however I'm skeptical. I'd rather not sink a lot of money on something that won't run well. I figure that if I were to buy The Sims 3 plus all the expansion packs the minimum requirements would probably raise. **So what are the minimum requirements to run The Sims 3 with all of the expansion packs installed and possibly some custom content as well?**


How do I turn on peaceful mode?

The 0.7.0 update for Minecraft Pocket Edition just came out a half hour ago. But after I went through the options, I didn't find peaceful mode. So can somebody please tell me what happened to it and how to turn it off and on?


How can I disable login screen music?

Now that Riot has implemented a queue system at login, I spend even 30 minutes in the intro screen. I would like to mute the music there, so that I can play other games, see videos, etc. while waiting. Is it possible in some way? ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/NErIQ.jpg)


Smithing capacity?

I am trying to max out a few suits of armor beyond legendary and I need to know how much does your smithing skill have to be boosted beyond 100 to get to the maximum level cap. I have noticed that some people have armor sets that have armor ratings up to 1000. How much skill do I need to do that?


Are any of the expansions "official"

I just purchased Total Annihilation (with the two expansion packs), and when I was looking at tauniverse.com, and saw a bunch of "packs", such as "The Crusader's Unit Pack", as well as numerous "bugfix" patches. Are any of these "official releases", or are they third-party mods?


Can I pick up my Mercenaries later if I tell them to wait?

I went on a sneak mission and didn't want to part ways with my mercenary, so I told him to wait at the start off the dungeon. When I finished I came back for him and he was gone. So I'm curious, can I find him again AND/OR if I tell him to wait in one of my homes will he still be there or do characters have the same behavior in every environment?


In which way should I approach the expansions of Fallout 3?

I finished Fallout 3 for the first time more than 1 year ago. Now I am planning to re-play it and I bought the GOTY edition that include all expansions. Can you please point me out where and how I start the expansions and if there is a minimum level suggested or a part of the story that should I reach before start them (e.g. after the end).   1. Operation: Anchorage   2. The Pitt   3. Broken Steel   4. Point Lookout   5. Mothership Zeta Thank you


Are there any high reward dailies available besides Tol Barad

After I've cleared Dragon Soul for the week and done all of my jewel crafting and Tol Barad dailies, I still have dailies for the day that are available but I can't seem to find any that are worthwhile. I get a lot of enjoyment out of running Tol Barad dailies and I'm building towards a mount and some enchants. I do my jewel crafting ones daily to get the high end recipes. My question is, what are other worthwhile dailies? You might say worthwhile is subjective depending on what I need so I guess I'll put it this way. I have an ilvl of 392, so I doubt I'll get much in gear. I enjoy collecting mounts/pets. I'm still a noob when it comes to PvP gear. I'm just looking to find some dailies I've never heard of that will reward me with something entertaining.


What determines your level in the "The Joker’s Carnival" map?

In this challenge map, is your level raised based on the score you're getting (thus making it more important to make the most out of each opponent) or is it raised based on how many opponents you take out (thus making it more important to finish opponents quickly)? _Note: Joker's Carnival is a combat challenge map from the DLC "Challenge Map Pack"._

FNVEdit merged patch, fixing it and advices/tips?

So, I use FNVEdit 3.0.30 (latest to the date) to create a merged patch for Fallout New Vegas, its idea is to auto-mix mods. 1) The problem is the groups `Containers` and `Factions` got messed; entries were missing... All other groups seems ok!? How to be sure? I just remove such groups from the merged patch. Any advice? 2) How to remove/delete items from containers on FNVEdit? I right click and click on `Remove` but the entry wont go away, is it bugged or is there some other way to do that? I press `del key` but nothing happens either... EDIT: 3) And how to remove a master reference from an esp file? no matter what I do, the reference wont go away... I know these are many questions, I wonder if there is some guide somewhere with all that stuff explained? If you know one or other answer, it is ok, I will like it too :)


Is Mona Sax the Murderer of Payne's family?

Mona Sax is an assassin working for Alfred Woden. I was wondering if she is the assassin of Max Payne's family. Vlad implied something along those lines, saying Payne should be thankful that he shot her. So is Mona Sax the killer of Payne's family?


How does blunting work in Dungeon Raid?

I've been playing a litte while, raised Assassin to lvl 5 and unlocked a few more classes. But I still don't understand some of the upgrades. Is there a manual or reference anywhere that would explain these? Blunting : Is this -1 attack for each monster, or the total of all monsters? I've never taken this because it seems like it would be a tiny difference even at mid-levels.


What are the effects of making my bitizens happy?

Do they restock faster? Restock more? Get more customers? What about unhappy? Does that have any negative effects?


Can you warn people that their Towny rent is almost due?

In Towny, is it possible to warn players a certain time before rent is due if they won't be able to afford rent? I'm open to installing further plugins to enable this, but it's rather painful to my players to have to replace torches and reclaim areas if they don't remember to pay rent and they lose their plots/towns.


In SWTOR is there somewhere that the chat/messages log is stored locally?

I could like to do some analysis on damage as well as keep a record of some of the chats that go on in SWTOR. You can scroll back when you are in a gaming session, but I would like to look at that log outside of the game itself. Is that log stored as text somewhere on your machine? I've not been able to locate so far.


In Civ5, what (global) negative combat modifiers do exist?

I'm asking this because I know of the following two, but I'm not totally sure of the details at the moment (and whether there exist any other): (It would be nice if answers could include quantitative measures as well.)   * If your people are VERY unhappy, combat strength of all units is decreased.   * Units that need a strategic resource get a penalty if you lose access to this resource. (How does this work exactly?)


Is it possible to separate the Xbox One & PC Skype accounts?

I log into my Xbox One and it automatically logs me into my skype account with the same email address as my profile, e.g. `myBoxName@hotmail.com`. However I'd like to use this Skype account on my PC, and use a different Skype account to associate with my profile on the Xbox One. Is there any way to do this?


How do I defeat the cyclops in Dark Messiah?

Dark Messiah is an underrated game! Sure there's some cheesy voice acting, but it's fun and the half-life 2 engine is great. Anyway, I'm getting my ass kicked by the Cyclops in Chapter 5? I can wait for him to attack and hit him in the eye when he's bent down but it's sucking up all my health potions. There's GOT to be a better way!


Where are the red guys coming from in Darwinia?

I'm on the level where you have to take over some laser satellite transponders and change them from red to green with darwinians. I thought I had the whole level beat, and then suddenly I see red darwinians all over the place! Where are they coming from? How do I prevent this... do I just have to repeatedly slaughter them faster than they pop up?


Solar powered quarry in Tekkit?

I am trying to build a quarry in Tekkit 3.1, but I am unable to figure out how to power it if I want to use solar panels. Basically, nothing I try seems to give it power. I've found a bunch of tutorials on YouTube, but they all seem to use some kind of "Electrical Engine", which seems to no longer be in the game. Is this no longer possible? If it is possible, how should I go about connecting my solar panels to my quarry? I have set up a few batboxes and they're completely full from being charged by the solar panels, what to do next?


Is there a best place to search for the Daedra banishing enchantment?

I just started a new game and getting the Daedra banishing enchantment is high on my list of things to do early on. With it, I can turn simple iron daggers into a huge profit which will open a lot of doors for me early in the game. It seems that finding a weapn with this enchantment is all random, but I am wondering if these weapons show up more in a particular area or if it depends on my level.


Resurrect NPC without corpse

I've only recently noticed that the woman who runs Warmaiden's in Whiterun seemingly is missing. Possibly she was killed in the vampire attacks (having dawnguard and all). I do not see her body anywhere so I am looking for some "restore / reset character" command, rather than just "resurrect". Anyone know how to do that?


Would it be possible for Paarthurnax to take the Dragonborn to Skuldafn?

Spoilers on the main quest: > When the Dragonborn captures Odahviihg, he learns that Alduin's portal to > Sovngarde is on Skuldafn, on the Jeroll Mountains on the far east of Skyrim. > Wouldn't it be more wise to keep a untrusted dragon captured and go to > Skuldafn with a dragon he already trusts ? I don't know if It's possible, or if Paarthurnax tells the dragonborn why he doesn't or can't bring him to Skuldafn, does someone has any information about this or a lore-reason for this ?


Level Stucked because I haven't any quest to do

I finished all the quests of **District Tower** and then I did the main quest where I fought with a man who became huge. Now I need to do the quests from BlackDagger Ruins but I can't take any quest from there, neither from Sergeant Knox. So, What can I do for level up or get new missions? I am level 20.

How much memory does a Spleef server need for each slot? All players will be in the same area (at most 5 chunks away from spawn).


Blocking friendly minions

Is it possible to effectively block friendly minions in League of Legends? In the start of most DotA matches, players would block their minions to make the first battle take place closer to their own tower. I haven't seen anyone do this in LoL. I've tried a couple of times and failed. Is it my lack of skill or just harder to pull off in LoL?


How can I see my character again after Breylna's spell practice?

I did a miscellaneous quest and let Breylna Maryon, an apprentice mage, practice a spell on me at the Winterhold College. At the end of the quest my character was rendered invisible to me and only to me. I can still attack, be attacked, and be detected etc like normal but I can't even see the weapons I wield. In my Active Effects it said something from her was supposed to wear off in 30 minutes so I figured it was no big deal and continued on questing. Well, I'm WAY far from there now (quite a few hours in hopes it would just eventually stop being dumb) and I still cannot see anything. I figure that it must be a glitch as sometimes when I reload my saved game my character will appear for just a moment. Perspective changing does nothing. Breylna provides no option for a fix. Nothing is working. Any suggestions?


How many players should I have for each position?

It feels like I either have too many players so that some complain because they don't get playing time, or else I don't have enough and end up stuck because of injuries.


Spending minerals with gas for zerg

when I'm playing zerg I have almost always a problem of low gas and lots of minerals. Especially it happens when playing with terran because I need mutas + banelings. How to spend minerals correctly? Maybe expanding just for gas is an option?


What accessories are used with this mysterious accessory port?

So, I got a PS Vita recently. As I was poking around trying to figure out how everything worked, I noticed this odd, unmarked port on the top of the system. ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/QDHhA.jpg) It's only labeled as "Accessories Terminal", but I can't find _any_ indication as to _what_ accessories are used here. I've checked the manual, but it doesn't shed any light on this mystery. Even the official PS Vita Accessories page doesn't offer any information. **What can I use with this port?**


Manage reserve NPCs' skills

I've been looking for a way to easily manage the skills and/or inventory of my reserve NPCs (the NPCs I've recruited who are not part of the current shore party). So far, the only way to manage their inventory that I've seen is to access their lockers on the Normandy. I haven't found any way to manage the NPCs' skills unless they're with me in a shore party. Have I missed something, or is this a feature that's just not in the game? _NOTE: I'm on the PS3, so any mods available for PC would be of no use._


Xbox Controllers on Windows

I'm getting seriously confused with this. I don't own an Xbox, but I have started to play games on Steam a lot more, and some of them really need a controller. The Xbox one seems to be the "officially supported" one, or at least recommended one. Trouble is, there seem to be so many different versions of the damn things! And Microsoft's websites are useless and won't even provide product model numbers. I have the following questions:   1. What's the difference between the Xbox and Windows versions?   2. What's the difference between wired and wireless (seems obvious, but...)   3. Can I the Xbox wired controller on Windows?   4. What about the wireless one? Do I need an adapter? Is this all the Windows one is, an Xbox one with a bundled adapter?   5. There seems be loads of different generations. Is this just for Xbox ones, or the same with Windows ones? How do you tell the difference? Is it important?   6. Is the headset thing available on all? What's it for, can I plug in headphone to play all audio output through them? Or is it just a mono thing for chat only? If so, is it pointless to get a headset if you have a bluetooth headset anyway, or will I have to use the controller adapter? So to have so many questions, I can't think of a way of phrasing it better.


Bucket contents slowly disappear

When I dump a bucket with water or lava on the ground, or anywhere else, it slowly disappears when it hits the ground. It's impossible to use. This happened after I installed modloader and the Better Than Wolves modpack. Everything works great, except the bucket. I don't think its a glitch or a bug, but I haven't ruled it out. I have restarted the game and so on, but I still have same problem! Any of you who might know whats wrong, or are having the same problem?


How many turns left to construct?

In Civilization IV (G&K), I order my workers to build a road, then cancel so that they only put in one turn's worth of construction. I order them this way then move on to the next tile before actually completing the road. I do this all along the intended path until each intended tile only has one turn left of construction, then move back along the road, technically finishing in the shortest time possible. I do this because I don't have to pay for road until it's constructed, so this minimizes maintenance cost. However, two turns before it's done, the game will not tell me accurately how many turns are needed to finish construction. The game does not tell me if there are one or two turns left to complete the road. I must remember whether or not there are one or two turns left to construct something with a worker. I don't do this with just roads either, but anything that takes a number of turns to construct via worker. I believe that this failure of the GUI is a bug. Is there a way to see whether or not there are one or two turns left to construct something?


Does Deathtrap get my Shock Damage boosts?

Thanks to Make It Sparkle I can turn Deathtrap's melee attacks into Shock elemental. Does he get my shock damage boost from Wires Don't Talk? Further, does he also get shock damage boosts from other sources like elemental relics?


What's the fastest way to level up?

I did a playthrough with a friend: he (orange knight) spent his whole experience in strength, while I (red knight) spent mine in magic. Most of time, magic seemed to deal more damages, but it was pretty hard to hit several enemies at once. Even if, most of the time, I killed more enemies than he did, he always gained more experience than I did (sometimes, almost twice more). I already know that the Giraffey pet can help to level up faster (10% xp bonus), but above that, which choices can help to level up fast ? Are there any easier characters for that (with area magic skills, for instance) ? Is strength a better investment than magic ? * * * Regarding the red knight, I've read that the he was much appreciated for his "Lightning Hold" attack that can "splash damage", but it seemed really hard to perform: you have to be on the exact same Y axe than your targets to make it work...


Are the UPlay rewards for MMX balanced?

Did anyone unlock the rewards for Might and Magic X yet and can say if they are in balance with the rest of the game? Unfortunately UPlay tends to do very overpowered rewards for games like that, which have the potential to destroy the experience. While I do not mind some small startup help, especially since I plan playing on Warrior, I'd hate to be OP right from the start of the game. But if unlock it, I also want to use, so that is a 2 sided sword. ![rewards screenshot](http://i.stack.imgur.com/DAUE5.png) Can anyone who already unlocked them tell how they hold up compared to other items/hirelings?


Is there easy way to use all digit buttons with left hand?

**Intro**   I play RTS (starcraft 2 specifically) and now realize that I want to use more then `1..5` digits to bind my army / buildings / etc. **Problem**   I cannot precisely hit `7..0` (neither `ctrl+7..0` nor `shift+7..0`) keys without looking on the keyboard (my right hand controls the mouse of course) **Question**   Do you know a way to easy hit `7,8,9,0` with left hand? Is there some mark that my hand could use (i.e. `right ctrl`) or something else? _edit_   I don't want to buy any additional device. My question is all about behavior not environment. Plus you probably know that pro-gamers use normal keyboard and totally fine with it.   _i.e._ right now I realize that if I rotate keyboard clockwise a little then access to `7..0` becomes easier.


Can I increase the number of allowed saves?

It seems that, unlike the first game, Mass Effect 2 (inexplicably) has a save limit. I currently have 50 full save slots and the game will not let me make any others. In ME1, there was a PC tweak where you could edit a .ini file in order to increase the number of allowed saves. However, I can't find anything in the ME2 PC tweaks that will let you do the same, maybe because the configuration files are in a different format for this game. Is there any way for me to increase the number of allowed saves without endangering my save file(s) for import to ME3?


How does decryption work?

I am playing Mass Effect and I only seem to have about 10% success decrypting locks, even "Easy Decryption" locks. I can't figure out what I am doing wrong, or what I am doing differently when it works. The times that I fail I am hitting the button as fast as I can. Is there some trick to knowing which button press is coming up?


Visit The College of Winterhold quest uncompletable?

When you meet Faralda at the bridge to the College of Winterhold, there is an option to persuade her to let you across the bridge. However, if you succeed, the misc. quest "Visit The College of Winterhold" will not complete and will never be completeable. Is there a way to fix this, with a console command/etc? I'm playing on PC.


How do holo calls work?

I just finished a group mission and when I went to turn in, two of the party members "dialed in" via holo calls. How does that work? Does someone need to go start the conversation and others can be anywhere on the map? Does my character need to own a particular item before being able to turn in a quest like this or are holo calls available to everyone?


What's the best food?

The Sims 2 has an involved cuisine system wherein ingredients (up to a max of 4) can be combined and cooked in different ways. Ingredients differ in how well they affect the Hunger motive, Bladder, Energy, and Fun. Some combinations even have special (albethem temporary) effects such as aphrodisiac (pink hearts), black hearts (forces angry socialization), poisonous (emetic or even lethal), and skill-boosting (stars, boosts all skills by three). Which recipe(s) is/are the most useful? I think it's rather important to denote that this is The Sims 2 (TS2) for consoles (in particular, the Nintendo GameCube), because I think The Sims 2 is rather different between console and PC.


Hated with the Legion early in the game - Do i have to restart?

Entered Nipton, met Vulpes, heard his speech. Decided that he had to die, so had Dynamite and the Cowboy Repeater make quick business of them. Now I'm Level 6 and vilified with Caesar's Legion, which means that I get randomly stalked by Legion Assassins with exactly 0.00000% chance to survive. Tried planting mined or shooting at their guns, but at Level 6 it's simply not feasible to encounter them. Do I really have to restart the game? I'm playing on the X360, so sadly no cheat console...

Joystick D-Pad not working on sdlmame

I wasn't sure on which StackExchange site I should ask this, so I'll give it a try over here. I installed sdlmame (0.140-1) and qmc2 (0.2.b17-1) as a frontend on ArchLinux. I enabled a USB joystick control on the Options screen and calibrated it. I had to uncheck axises 0, 1, 4 and 5 since they are not working. I am using a regular USB gamepad with a D-Pad (direction controller) and 10 action buttons which are being detected correctly (or so it seems in the Test screen). Axises 2 and 3 seem to be working. When I load a ROM, the action buttons are working fine, but the D-Pad has no reaction at all. It's weird since the test page shows the expected reaction to the pressing of the D-Pad, but I have no D-Pad functionality whatsoever in the games. Any ideas?


Is there a major gameplay disadvantage if I don't import saves?

I lost my saves from Mass Effect 1 and Mass Effect 2. I'm aware that there is a site that has several, but they just wouldn't feel as mine. What would I miss beside continuity in my actions? Is it "game breaking" if I start fresh?


Who wants the Cerberus automated turret schematics?

I just found the Cerberus automated turret schematics on Tuchanka and got a corresponding entry in my journal that someone on the Citadel might be interested in those. Who on the Citadel wants those turret schematics?


How is the "designated target hit" point bonus calculated?

I've been recently trying to figure out all the changes with the latest Battlefield 3 update and the one that's baffling me a lot is laser designating. After the patch, if a guided missle/javelin hits a vehicle that you laser designated(and it hit it while you had the designation), you'll get a seemingly random point bonus somewhere from 1-99 points. Sometimes I'll get two bonuses from two missles that add up to more than 100, so I guess it's not damage. And sometimes, when it hits a smaller vehicle I'll only get 49 points even though the vehicle is destroyed. What calculation goes into this point bonus?


King thrones puzzle?

I noticed that there are two rooms in the game with a king's throne. One of them is nice and shiny and the other one is old. Easy of them has a code in front of the seat that you can see only when you use the 3D view (game+). First room location on the map: ![First room location on the map.](http://i.stack.imgur.com/u4jNv.jpg) Second room location on the map: ![Second room location on the map.](http://i.stack.imgur.com/9y7e5.jpg) Any ideas where to use these codes? I tried using them in the rooms I found them in (also vice versa), but nothing happened. (system won't let me to post more than two links, I will add more images once I can post them).


Will I be banned if I use a tweaked Coalesced.bin file in multiplayer?

Two answers here have involved tweaks to Mass Effect 3's ini files, and in particular Coalesced.bin. I've seen some unsubstantiated rumors that EA will ban players who use a tweaked .bin file in multiplayer, since they could potentially use it to cheat. I don't want to test this out myself to see if I end up banned, as I happen to enjoy multiplayer. Is there any official word from EA (or firsthand experience) that if I implement a tweak such as the FOV tweak, I will be banned if I forget to revert back to the original file before playing multiplayer?


How does the Prothean assault rifle trigger ammo powers?

After getting Prothean squad member, I unlocked Prothean assault rifle. I wondering, since it has unique mehanics, how ammo power (in my case, incinerate ammo) is triggered while using this weapon?


Lulu's Help, Pix! > Teleport

As Lulu, you can redirect your passive using Help, Pix! and give it to an ally. Upon doing so, you can use her other ability, Glitterlance, and aim it from yourself and the ally you used Help, Pix! on. What happens if the ally is teleported or moved across the map shortly after your ability? Can you sit in your base and use the abilities in tandem to help, say a Shen, track down a target and slow them with Glitterlance to get an across-the-map Assist (or KS)?


Are dead-end items worth the inventory slots?

There are a great many of items on the Fields of Justice, but not all of them are incredibly powerful, although these undermined items often have much smaller price tags. How often should someone use items like Haunting Guise and Doran's items, which all have important stat combinations that aren't often seen elsewhere. Is it better for me to focus on getting items I can complete early on, or save up for something larger like Infinity Edge or Rabadon's Deathcap?


What stat do AD Carries need most?

On the average AD Carry (with no built-in on-hit effects) which stat is most important? Lifesteal, Attack Damage, Attack Speed, Critcal, or Escapability? Should I try to get items that can cover many of these or just try to focus one or two at first and fill out later?


Spell Shield / Banshee's Veil blocking Passives

I was in a match, playing as Kog'maw, recently. After dying, I tried to kill an enemy Sivir using my passive which explodes and does True damage to the enemy. Sivir blocked my passive explosion using her built-in spell shield ability. Are there other passives, such as Ziggs' or Nautilus' that can be blocked by spell shields? I think that these skills would be good for bringing the enemy's defenses down as a team fight starts, so that you can hit through their shield to do more damage or to poke more easily.


Can multiple gene tonics stack in Bioshock 2?

If I have a specific gene tonic in level 1 and level 2, is there any benefit to equipping both of them at the same time? Will I get the full 1+2 bonuses? Or will I get just somewhat over the 2nd bonus? Or is the level 1 tonic completely useless?

Is it still possible to get Diner Dash on the PS3?

The IGN page for Diner Dash says it was released for PS3 in November of 2009, but I can't find any information about it in the PlayStation Store or on the PlayStation website (US & UK). Is this game no longer available for some reason? Is there still anywhere to buy a code for it or anything? I know that some games occasionally get removed from the store for legal reasons or whatever, but does anyone know why this game, specifically, got removed?

Get rid of Sleeveless Armor in X-COM on XBox-360

as the title says, I am playing X-COM: Enemy Within on my XBox-360. Since this make it impossible to install Mods (like on the PC-Version), I can't use them to get rid of the sleeveless armor from the gene modded soldiers. Is there any way (a mod, patch, whatever), to get normal armor even for my gene modded soldiers? Or is there maybe a patch or DLC announced...?


Nothing but looking around works in Minecraft 1.7.2 and 1.7.4, but it did in previous versions

Okay, so let me tell you what happens. I can play any version just fine, and I could play with the snapshots before 1.7.2 was fully released. But now, when I try to go into a world or a server, all I can do is look around. None of the buttons will respond, clicking won't respond, but it renders the world around me and I can turn (very slowly) and look at everything. And on servers, the chat shows what it would show when you join the server, but it doesn't update the chat after that. I don't have any mods installed and I don't use any resource packs. My computer is a Dell Latitude D600 with Windows XP.

How to create a floating layer of signs that lets eggs through in a chicken coop?

I had previously been using signs as a layer to hold water in a chicken coop (the chickens float in the water and drop eggs through), and underneath the layer of signs I had another layer of water which sweeps all the eggs out to one end. However when I stacked my signs to build a coop today, they broke when I removed the layer underneath. I think I can still walk under the chickens to collect the eggs by stacking 2 signs on top of each other in each square of the coop, but water can no longer flow underneath to sweep them out of the coop. How can I make the signs float? Or is there something else I can use instead as a layer that holds water but lets eggs through?


Beat the game completely without Gene Mods

I was playing XCOM: Enemy Unknown on Classic Ironman and so I want to do for XCOM: Enemy Within. Since the Genemodded Armor looks stupid I want to completely neglect gene modding my soldiers. Will doing it without gene-mods make the game much more difficult?


What is Poison Nova?

I found the Legendary Item Andariel's Visage, and one of the properties says: `40% chance to cast a Poison Nova when you are hit.` I could observe some green splashing around me when I Leap into a crowd, other than that I can't exactly see a nova effect (like the one in the first Diablo). How does this work exactly?


How do I use calldowns?

I know I can press C to bring up the call down menu, but what then? If I leftclick the calldown that I want to use, nothing happens.


What am I meant to do with Elder Scroll (Dragon) after completing Dawnguard?

After completing the Dawnguard storyline in favor of the vampire hunters, I was able to give the 2 scrolls (sun and blood) to Dexion, however the dragon scroll remains in my inventory. Is there some special use for it? i've checked with Urag gro-Shub and he will not take it. Note that this is after I've completed the main questline.
