Do you keep support kill count when changing classes?

In Modern Warfare 3, for example if I am using a class that has the Support strike package and I get 2 kills and then die and change to a different class (also with a support strike package) will I still have a kill count of 2? If yes, do both classes need to be using exactly the same support set-up?


How many IPs would be considered too many?

Alright, so, I've recently started playing Uplink. Perhaps you've heard of it? Little gem of an indie game in which you play a hacker. I'm wondering how I've overlooked this title for so long! That being said, I've connected to the InterNIC and started adding IP addresses to my list so I could bounce my connection off of as many as my computer can handle to avoid being traced. I'm wondering though, is there such a thing as having _too_ many? Or is it simply "the more the merrier?"


Why doesn't my heir inherit my wife's titles?

So I'm playing as the Emperor of Britannia, and I'm trying to get Scotland into the fold at the moment. So I thought hey, let me marry my son to the duchess of Moray so that his son, my future character can inherit her titles as well as mine (I have done this before). But now I'm playing as my son, who is still married to the duchess of Moray (so now my wife), and they have had three kids, two girls and a boy last. Now the boy is my heir, obviously as my succession laws are Agnatic-Cognatic Primogeniture, but for some reason my wife's heir is my daughter, with the second in line being my other daughter, and the third in line is some other random I've never heard of! I've checked her succession laws and she is also Agnatic-Cognatic Primogeniture, so her male child should be her heir? I don't understand.


Where is the best place to keep current on Rockstar releases, particularly on Android?

Loving GTA for Android (Luckily the same version works on Xperia Play and Samsung 10inch Tab) **My Question** : Where is the best place to keep up with any new releases that Rockstar will be putting on Android? Rumor or professional, both are welcome.

How can I be running out of address space on my 64-bit system?

_Supreme Commander_ seems to crash for almost everyone when set to max settings. The general consensus is that the game is hitting the 2GB address space limit on Windows. The quick fix is to increase Windows' address space limit from 2 to 3 GB. The solution is to switch to a 64-bit version of Windows. The former did not work for me as the game still crashes. To make things more bizarre, I am already running a 64-bit version of Windows 7. Why is my 64-bit OS running out of address space? My specs:   * CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 970 Processor 3.50 GHz   * GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTX460 SE (2 GB)   * RAM: 4GB


What are the sources for every piece of Mass Effect 3 DLC?

I'm lost in the sea of Mass Effect 3 DLC. From what I understand, there are numerous sources for DLC codes that allow access to in-game content like new weapons, skins, maps, missions, etc. These sources include pre-order bonuses from various retailers, Collector's Edition content, purchasable in-game content from the "normal" sources (Xbox Marketplace, Orign, etc.), and many others. I realize this is an involved question begging for an involved answer, but **what are all the required sources for every piece of in-game content DLC?** Does EA keep a updated list of this information? As a corollary question, is any of the DLC now unavailable due to the game being past the preorder state or other reasons?


Fallout 3 Alien Weapon

I'm wondering where to find the alien weapon in fallout 3. A friend of mine played a new game and put it on very difficult and then he went to Super Duper Mart. He found some raiders, killed them and took a "Flaming spear" gun with alien energy as ammo. I cannot find it in my game. Is it because I play on normal difficulty?

I want to play through the original Pokémon games (Blue and Red) and was wondering what I would need in order to get going with it. Can I play it on the original Game Boy? The Game Boy Advanced?

What does season lock exactly mean in Starcraft 2?

While I was checking this TeamLiquid Site about season dates and more information, I noticed that there is, besides "Start Date" and "End Date", a so called "Season Lock". What does the season lock do? Does it mean (being in relation to my last question about being demoted in starcraft 2 hots) that from the day a season is locked no demotion or promotion is possible anymore? (Not even if you e.g. lose every match from then on) Thanks a lot for every answer.

What differences exist between the two major plot paths?

In Front Misson 3, you make a choice early in the game that determines which of two plots your game will follow. In one path, Emma joins your party. In the other path, Alisa joins your party. Also, since the paths have different plots, you fight in different battles. What other differences exist between the 2 plot paths?

Can I put this rifle in my backpack?

In _DayZ_ , I've run into a problem. That problem is finding more weapons than I know what to do with. Luckily, I also managed to find a nice 24-slot backpack! I know I can put bandages and various other supplies in said backpack, but that doesn't help me carry more weapons, as my arms are in short supply. **Is there any way I can store excess weapons in my backpack?**


What is the difference between borderlands and borderlands GOTY edition?

What determines your chance to Flinch

When playing (most often as melee) you'll often come across situations where when attacked your character will go through a "hit" animation, and cry out. When you do this all your attacks (normal or special) are interrupted for a short time, however if you are surrounded by enemies, as you often are as melee, this can happen multiple times in a row; effectively stun locking you to death. My question is what causes this to happen? And how can you avoid it?


How can I find out where to get the current zone story quest?

Yesterday I decided to just do the zone story in Algoroc and skip the rest, because I'm outleveling the content. I forgot to pick up the next zone story quest in Gallow (the miner's village) and wandered aimlessly for a good hour before finally stumbling on the questgiver. By that time I had started to just accept all available quests until I would find the zone story quest. I could of course have googled for the next zone story quest, but I'd rather play without google (at least for now, while leveling). This got me thinking, there has to be a way to distinguish between zone story quests, regional story quests and the other types, right? If this were to happen again, is there an ingame way to look up where to find the next zone story quest?


How to take backup of your Xbox 360 games?

I am really concerned that my Xbox Kinnect CDs will get damaged from overuse. Installing the games to HDD is not an option because I have the 4GB version and there isn't much of space left in it. So what are my options? Can I just copy the disk to a blank DVD?


What units is it viable to use the Corruption ability against?

So obviously, it should be used against mothership/carrier/BCs and stuff like that, is it still good against smaller units? Also, as I've just discovered, the corruption ability works against all units, not only air (!), which is awesome, and brings up other possibilities like corrupting thors or ultralisks, but what about other units? Other corruptors, mutalisks, vikings, stalkers? Smaller things like marauders or helions? Edit: And of course, I don't think it is ever viable to base your strategy on building a lot of curruptors to use the corruption ability if you know that the opponent goes for stalkers for example. My question is about whether to use the corruption ability if you "already have" corruptors, built for whatever purposes.


How far can my SPG shoot?

In _World of Tanks_ , the self-propelled guns' (SPGs, or artillery) range is determined much more by projectile motion than the standard LOS guns on the tanks and TDs. In the spec sheets for the guns or chassis though, it doesn't offer any clue as to how far they can actually shoot. Where is this information?

How did I get XP for a class I never played in Multiplayer?

I just noticed that I already have some XP in Multiplayer for a class I never even created a character in and haven't played with at all: ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/bl6Ev.png) How did I manage to get those XP and how can I get more of them? Starting at level 1 is pretty painful, it would be nice if I could level up the other classes before starting to play them.

Steam keeps making me appear offline in my Friends list

Steam seems to be doing something rather strange. I am always online. I have no issues launching, updating, or playing any game. Every so often, though, it seems to kick me into Appear Offline on my Friends list, though. I don't ever tell it to do that; it just does it automatically. I usually only notice when someone yells at me to get online in Steam. I checked the Settings page, and I'm not seeing any setting in the Friends tab that would allow me to turn off this option. If option it actually is. It's happened often enough that I'm suspecting it's some sort of "inactive" deal, kinda like how Messenger used to set you to Away, but I have no way of knowing for sure. How can I tell Steam that I like being online and to stay that way?

Is there really that much of a difference between the 2D and 3D Mario Kart games?

I have been playing Mario Kart since 1998. I can get all golds in Mario Kart 64 without hassle; I can place first in every race of Double Dash's All-Cup Tour somewhat easily, I get first for 32 consecutive races effortlessly in Mario Kart DS (without snaking), I have a VS rating in the 8000's in Mario Kart Wii. I cannot get more than a few one-star ratings in Mario Kart Super Circuit (most of them being in the B-D range), and after getting Super Mario Kart on the Virtual Console last week, I still can't finish the 100cc Flower Cup. So, **what do both 2D games have in common that appears to put them in a separate class of difficulty than all the 3D ones**? There are a few things like the coin mechanic and the controls that seem likely, but it doesn't seem like they're the only culprit.


How can I configure Diablo 3 to remember my health bar settings?

Is there a way I can automate the collection of Sticky Resin?

I can't use a normal Harvester/Seeder combination with Rubber Tree Saplings as the Saplings have a drop rate that is entirely too unreliable to continue the cycle for very long. Is there a reliable self-sustaining means of harvesting Sticky Resin for use in an Industrial Centrifuge for rubber and plant matter? I am playing with a hybrid Unhinged/Unleashed pack. I have every mod in Unhinged installed and these mods as well from Unleashed:   * Adv Power Management   * Adv Solar Panels   * Biblio Craft Mods (all three)   * Binnies Mods   * Computer Craft   * Damage Indicators   * Equivalent Exchange 3   * Extra Utilities   * GraviSuite   * Magic Bees   * Misc Periphreals   * ObsidiPlates   * Plugins for Forestry   * Soul Shards   * ThaumCraft I also installed:   * Logistics Pipes   * Infernal Mobs   * Adv Machines


Is there a telephone in Megan Reed's office?

At the very beginning of the game, while browsing around Megan Reed's office, I kept on hearing a telephone ring. Since there's so many interactable things in there, I spent a while looking for it - after all, maybe I could answer her phone for her, since I was already checking her email and playing with her toy car. Unfortunately, I couldn't find it. Is there actually a phone in there somewhere?


So, what did happen on that drunken night anyway?

So, I have "A Night to Remember" as one of my (very many) open side-quests as I'm idly exploring some random wooded area I happened upon... > Then, I come across Witchmist Grove, where I find a Hagraven. Strange thing > about this Hagraven is that she was actually named (Moira, I think) and > didn't immediately go aggro on me.   >   >  After her first lines, my prompt gives an option to ask her about a ring I > (the player) currently have no remembrance of. She declines to hand it over, > seemingly jealous of some other Hagraven I've also not heard of, and _then_ > starts to attack me.   >   >  After I defeat her and loot the corpse, I now have a wedding ring which > must have been the subject of our debacle. As if the encounter wasn't odd enough so far... > Suddenly, I get two quest objectives immediately completed:   >   >  - Ask about Sam and the staff in Rorikstead.   >  - Take the wedding ring. Prior to this point, I knew I had the former objective to complete, but hadn't gotten around to it. Presumably, the former would have lead to knowledge of the latter so now I really feel like I've missed out on something. Could someone fill in the gaps for me? P.S.: In probably unrelated news, I'm now fighting a dragon not far from where this all happened. I'm sure that's not an uncommon occurrence, except this one seems strangely adept at flying _backwards_!


How can I make my follower cut it out with all the jibber jabber?

During the first playthrough, I enjoyed my follower's bits of dialog as we adventured since it was all new, but as I continue on through nightmare, I'm getting really sick of hearing the same things over and over again. We'll be running around the dungeon and the Enchantress will blathering on again about how I seem sad or whatever for the 432nd time while I'm trying to focus and get my demon slaying on. I just want my follower to zip their lips and shut up. Is there any way to disable this dialogue?


As an ingress level 8 & the 2000 item limit, what's the best proportion of resonators to carry?

What caused Dark Age of Camelot to lose popularity?

Dark Age of Camelot was a game released in 2001. It was a very unique game (MMO) with a rich background, popular following, and even a game changing approach to player versus player combat that made the game incredibly fun to play. It was well on its way to becoming a popular and sustainable MMO in the market. Now it is a niche game that seems to only have a few very diehard fans. What happened to cause such a precipitous fall and disfavour?


What happens if I don't fall off the Wharf District when it starts collapsing?

The end of Bastion's first level, the Wharf District, was quite intense, what with everything falling apart and the whole stage collapsing behind me. Unfortunately, while trying to run away, I got a bit too caught up in the action, and, uh, rolled off of the stage. This wound up sending me to the next level, so clearly I was supposed to fall eventually, and yet I can't help but wonder what I might have found at the end, if I had not fallen. What rewards lie at the end of the Wharf District, if any at all?


How can I identify the regional version of Painkiller Resurrection from the disc/cover art?

It looks like there are no less than three different cover arts and two different disc arts for the game _Painkiller Resurrection_. I figured that it is probably just a regional thing (eg North America release, UK release), so I tried looking up some information on what the differences are, but the closest that I could find was that one of them may be an Australian release (from a non-authoritative source). Can anyone enlighten me as to the disparate cover- and disc-arts? * * * North American release? ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/Jq4yG.jpg) European release? ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/OCqkh.jpg) Australian release? ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/jyVYi.jpg) European disc? ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/k03UV.jpg) Australian disc? ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/9V2iu.jpg)


Can the Diablo 3 game client be copied from one PC to another?

We have downloaded the Diablo 3 game client on one PC at our house. With the other two recent Blizzard games WoW and Starcraft 2 you could just copy the game folder from one PC to another over the LAN and fire it up. Is this also possible with the Diablo 3 game client?


How large is the Exploding Palm AoE?

This is the description of Exploding Palm: > Cause a target to Bleed for 220% weapon damage as Physical over 3 seconds. > If the target dies while bleeding, it explodes and deals 30% of the target's > maximum Life as Physical damage to all nearby enemies. So it is clear to me that the more life the enemy has, more damage the explosion causes. But how big is the radius of explosion? Is it fixed? I am trying to understand if a big monster (like the trees or beasts) causes a larger area of effect (AoE). Do you have any idea if size and radius are connected?


Does leveling up do damage?

The effect when leveling up has an "explosive" quality to it; and it seems like when I dinged near a mob it got thrown back, but I don't know if it was a (inanimate) corpse or still alive (or undead). Does the level-up effect do AoE damage?

What is the difference between types of chests?

So far, I've seen normal Chests, Bloody Chests, Treasure Chests, Exquisite Chests, Resplendent Chests, and Cursed Chests. Normal Chests seem just that, and the Resplendent Chests drop quite a bit more/better loot. What are all the chests are out there, and is there anything special about them? Both Exquisite and Resplendent chests glow yellow, so I assume they have some different drop rate - do the others?


Why is my robot shooting my friends?

On occasion Deathtrap will either use his blue thunderbolt or red laser eye attack on me or my friends. I thought maybe this was his "restore 30% of your shields" skill, but the attacks look identical to his normal attacks, and he'll occasionally do it to characters in Fight For Your Life. Does he just use his normal attacks on you and they happen to heal your shield, or is this a bug or what? Does it do anything if he hits a downed character with this "attack"?

Three citizens that moved out of my town a while back appear to be stuck on Main Street. Would there be a reason why this is happening? All three of them have been there for about 3 months now. I talk to them everyday and they say they are there to visit, shop, etc. But they never actually leave. No matter what hour of the day I go to Main Street, they are there wandering outside the shops. I've had former citizens visit in the past and they always seem to leave once the day is over.


What Cosmetic Items can you get for free?

I recently completed a quest, The Death of Chivalry, and unlocked the cosmetic armors "Dulcin Armour" and "Templar Armour", which got me to wondering... What other cosmetic items can be unlocked through gameplay, without paying for them in Solomon's Store? I understand there are a few free overrides given to members, such as a home teleport spell animation, but I don't much care for it and would very much like to replace it for free as well. Though, honestly, I am a collector of such things and would appreciate if you could tell me ALL of the unlockables, if there are any others.


What are some tips to get over 750 zombies in Zombie Gunship?

I am very nearly fully upgraded in Zombie Gunship, but I can't seem to improve any further. I get to about 750 zombies consistently. Any tips?


Where to find Ashley Williams on the Normandy 2?

I asked Ashley Williams to join my crew on the Normandy and she is a selectable member for my squad. The strange thing is I can't seem to find her on the Normandy spaceship. It does not really make sense. Is there a glitch possibly? This is for the PC version on Origin.


What is 'one turn' in Bravely Default?

I know the how Brave and Default work. But something I have not quite paid attention to is what spells like Free Lunch that 'Make MP cost 0 for "two turns"' ACTUALLY mean. If I Brave 3 times (so when I am up, I do 4 attacks) is that "four turns" so my fourth attack will cost normal MP?               Turn 1: (Free Lunch, Free Summon, Free Summon, 40 MP Summon)      Or is that "one turn" and the next time I get to go I have four more free spells again?               Turn 1: (Free Lunch, Free Summon x3) Turn 2: (Free Summon x4)      Or is it the more complicated, All effects for that turn pretend you are on your first turn and but since I actually spent 3 extra turns I am now down to total turns affected - 4 uses.               Turn 1: (Free Lunch, Free Summon x3) Turn '5': (40 MP Summon)


I've edited the default designs for my mining stations to include a little more firepower, however I'm not sure how to get the mining stations I've already built to switch over to the new design. How do I change the design of an already existing ship or base?


How can I make my prisoners leave their cell?

![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/RQzpx.jpg)In Prison Architect my prisoners are stuck in their cell block/individual cells. One left his cell to go to the shower but that is connected to the cell block. None of them will leave to go eat, work, etc. They are not blocked by anything. I have not hindered them in any way to entering the other rooms. I have tried having a guard esort them back to the cell they are already in but that does nothing. I have tried removing walls. I am not sure what else to try.


What happens when Trundle uses his ultimate on someone with negative armor?

Suppose, due to armor reduction, someone managed to get negative armor. Trundle's ultimate says: (Active): Trundle immediately steals health (by dealing magic damage) and a percentage of their armor and magic resistance from his target. Over the next 6 seconds the amount of health, armor, and magic resistance stolen is doubled. Does Trundle just steal 0 armor? Does he receive negative armor as well? Or is it based off of base values?


How does pub player-matching work in dota 2?

Let me preface by saying that I know people say playing pubs is a good way to collect losses. That being said I typically play by myself because I don't know a lot of people that play DoTA2 and the times that I play vary. Can anyone explain to me how the matching system works in DoTA2, because I set my language preferences to English only and server locations to areas in the US (where I am) and I still get players (usually it seems as though they are on a team of like 3 or 4) from all over the place. I am basing that on the fact that they don't respond in English. I would like to understand how the match making system works so that I can avoid this as much as possible because communication is key to winning. Pinging just doesn't seem to do it.


Is it possible to reach the center of Giant's Deep?

There is a planet in Outer Wilds that seems to be made almost entirely of water. The description for this planet is as follows (taken from the in-ship computer). ![None of our spacecraft have ever been able to penetrate beyond the outer atmosphere](http://i.stack.imgur.com/AJk7e.jpg) > None of our spacecraft have ever been able to penetrate beyond the outer > atmosphere Sure enough, when I try to fly my way into the center, I can pass through the (surprisingly stormy and hazardous) atmosphere, and only seem to get a short distance into the first layer of water. ![Ship is in underwater limbo](http://i.stack.imgur.com/nwprt.jpg) I'm at full throttle in this image, and as you can see, I'm now approaching the core at 0 m/s, which I guess means I'm stopped. I can toss probes towards the center, and they too end up hanging in underwater limbo a short distance ahead of me. Is it possible to reach the center somehow?


Menus scroll and 3rd-person camera zooms out without any input

I been having a problem on Windows 8 with Skyrim. Every time I open a container or menu it scrolls down to the bottom and I can't scroll back up to select what I want to select. Also, when I am walking around in first person it will suddenly go into third without me pressing any controls, and I can't zoom back in. All this happens when I've been playing for about 15 minutes. Then I have to exit and restart the game to fix it, only for it to repeat in another 15 minutes.

Can the Wii take screenshots of Virtual Console games?

_Animal Crossing: City Folk_ for the Wii has the ability to take in-game screenshots and save them on an SD card in the Wii. Is the screenshot ability strictly dependent on the game, or is it included in the Wii system somewhere? Can I use it to take screenshots of Virtual Console games?


Is there any replay value in the Curse of Naxxramas solo adventure?

The first playthrough of the normal mode bosses and the class challenges gives you new cards for your deck(s). And the first complete playthrough on heroic mode gives you a new card back. But is there any reason to replay the new solo adventure after you have cleared it one time?


How does stat scaling improve with enchantment?

According to the various wikis, when you "reinforce" a weapon in Dark Souls (enchant it, really) the stat scaling improves somehow. However, after checking weapon pages, the actual stat scaling "class" doesn't seem to improve - for instance, a dagger with class A dexterity scaling will still have class A dexterity scaling if you enchant it into a dagger + 1, though it does improve base damage. (And it looks like some ascensions will change stat scaling, but I'm not at that point yet) So, this means that the bonus you get from stat scaling must improve somehow. Has anyone figured out what the equation is for this? (I'm primarily asking because my current sword, the Drake's Tail Sword, has high base damage but doesn't scale at all, and I want to know when to replace it.)


What changes occur in New Game+?

In the "Dead Island" (DI) video-game, what changes occur in New Game+ (NG+), in comparison to non-new-game-plus? Acceptable: In particular, I want to know how prices are affected. Someone asserted that diamonds sell for more ($1.65K) rather than $1.5K because of how many times that they've beaten the game. I am otherwise familiar with the end-game. I don't think it matters but I play on the "OnLive" platform.


WoW always re-downloads itself after every start

Okay, this is really annoying. This is a fresh copy of WoW, just downloaded it.   Every time I restart the Launcher (e.g.: quit from game and start it again), it starts to download everything from the "Available" part. So, after every restart, I have 5.6gb to re-download. Not really convenient with cable.   (I tried the repair tool, but it only checked the `wow.exe` and said everything is OK.)

Does Recharging a portal have an internal "hidden" cooldown?

Lately I've started to do a lot of recharges on friendly portals, and I've noticed that after two or three succesful attempts, all subsequent will silently fail for a while: ADA will say "Resonator recharged" as if it went through succesfully, my XM will drop, but I'll regain them immediately after and no green "+x%" will appear on the screen. This has happened to me more than once, with portals not completely charged and with nobody else operating on it: in fact after a few minutes I've been able to completely recharge the remaining resonators. Is there some kind of hidden internal cooldown, or am I just experiencing some weird glitch?


Why are there two difficulties shown when sieging towns?

I've noticed that oftentimes when I go to attack an enemy Fort, the scout combat report lists two separate threat levels. ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/tL60Z.jpg) What do each of these threat levels mean? Which one is the "real" estimation of difficulty?


Should you try not to level up?

In backyard monsters, it seems like your neighbors are always around the same levels as you. While you can't really play and not earn EXP, you can try to limit which EXP you get. For example, attacking neighbors will give you resources, and attacking the town hall gives you no resources but a ton of EXP. (However, if you don't destroy the town hall, technically you have lost the battle). Should you try not to gain EXP in order to keep yourself surrounded with low- level neighbors? Is this a good strategy?


How can I complete Bwemba's Spirit?

Observe my quest log: ![Bwemba's Spirit in my Quest Log](http://i.stack.imgur.com/XNwk2.jpg) I have highlighted the quest "Bwemba's Spirit", in which I am tasked with finding "the other Darkspear Emissary". I'm pretty sure this refers to Vol'jin, the red-haired fellow standing immediately to the right of my quest log window. I was under the impression that I'd completed this quest already, but apparently Bwemba isn't ready to acknowledge that we've located Vol'jin. Is there some other quest I still have yet to do? I spent a good 20 minutes today flying around Stranglethorn Vale to try to find a missing exclamation point, but I couldn't see one. What's going on here?


Will a storage minecart keep going through chunks that aren't loaded?

My house is located some 38,000 blocks away from the house of another player on my SMP world. We are planning on creating a railway between our houses, and I was wondering if I could send a storage minecraft with items down the railway and if it would reach his house without me accompanying it?

Where can you get additional build orders for Starcraft 2's YABOT map and how can I load them in the multiplayer version?

I tried YABOT on the battle net map list with a friend, but the terran build order list seemed quite lackluster. I tried finding more build orders around the web but had no such luck. I couldn't even find how to load one up. So, do you know where I can find those resources?


How does autofire work?

By default it appears that the guns open fire whenever a target is in range, but at the same time, often during planning stage I would see guns that are fully loaded, pointing at a target - shouldn't this never happen since they should fire the moment they are ready? Also, how is autofire aim compared to manual aiming? Naturally with manual aim you easily miss since in the delay between round start and gun firing, the enemy ship could have pulled off an unexpected maneuver. Autofire on the other hand, seems to always fire in the general direction of the enemy.


Best way to target enemy vessels?

I have noticed that when doing manual firing orders, unless you specify in the next turn to change firing coordinates, the gun will fire at the same position turn after turn. When you're captaining a ship with 8 guns, it becomes a massive pain to have to reassign targets to every gun every turn. Is there a better way of doing this? Autofire may work, but as in How does autofire work?, auto fire doesn't seem to operate on optimal efficiency.

Mass Effect: How to grind singularity?

I played through Mass Effect (1) as an Engineer. Bad choice, as it doesn't suit my play style. I want to play through again as a Vanguard with Singularity as his bonus and take that character through the game on hardcore and then to ME2. The problem is, I've be grinding Singularity for hours... pretty much the whole day (I work from home so I just left it on and kept triggering singularity every couple of minutes). I feel like I must've topped 75 uses by now. The question I have is... do the uses have to be IN BATTLE? It's time consuming enough just to grind it on a wall... but maybe I've been spinning my wheels. I don't really want to play the whole game as an adept and then again as a vanguard. _CONFIRMED_ - Targetting a citadel transit station worked! It was still a long process. I found that the fastest way was to reload the save file after each cast as it was much faster to load the save file than wait for the cooldown.


Optimal positioning of guns?

All vessels have tons of weapons mount points, but interestingly weapons have extremely limited rotation, ie the forward facing guns cannot rotate all the way to the left or right to engage enemies. This creates an interesting dilemna. Should one   * Position on all sides to maximize firing arc   * Position all on one side to maximize damage


Are seasonal Unusual hats limited to seasonal effects?

I'd like some clarification on some things Unusual hat related. Some Unusual effects are "Halloween themed", for ex. Secret to Everybody, Stormy 13th, Knifestorm, etc. Some Unusual hats are "Halloween themed", for ex., Crone's Dome, Wraith Wrap Are hats and effects season exclusive? Meaning, can I only get a Halloween effect during Halloween? Or does it require a certain crate? Is it based on contents of crate? Is it a specific period of full moon cycle? Some clarification would help, thanks.


Is a ride of a type you already have just as effective as any?

Let's say I already have a Merry-go-round but it has lost its appeal because it's quite old. If I build a new, separate instance of a Merry-go-round, is it going to be as effective as the very first one when it was built? Or does the game recognize the fact you already have one and makes it less effective? Pushing the question to the extreme, would it be possible and just as effective to use only a limited number of ride types by cloning them all over the place? Note: RCT1 and RCT2 share a lot of mechanics. As such RCT1 references backed up with RCT2 experience will be appreciated just the same.


What does Popularity represent for a given ride?

What is Popularity? Is it something I should thrive to improve? If so, how? Note: While this is a Roller Coaster Tycoon 2 question, feel free to use RCT1 resources to answer if it has been proven by experience that the mechanics of Popularity are the same in both games.


How to use an enemy as a meatbag?

I've tried everything (I think) and searched and searched, but I can't seem to figure out how to hold an enemy as meatbag when the red coats (or other enemies) start firing at me. The simple on screen tutorial-text asked me to hold `A` in the beginning (I think) - this came up only for a few seconds and I was distracted at that time, I barley started to read the line when it disappeared and I didn't think much of it.. though, it's coming back to haunt me now. I'm in the middle of a combat, making short work of my enemies - until a bunch of them decide to shoot me from afar. I've tried tapping `A`, pressing and holding it, double tapping it, pressing it with other buttons etc.. but I just stand there and get hit by the bullets. The only way to escape once I get hit is by running away.. Sometimes I hide behind people or trees but most times that doesn't work. So - How do I meatbag my enemies please?


What are the chances behind what items you get in chests/boxes in Counter Strike: GO?

Obviously people do say it does down to luck and everything but there must be percentages behind what item you get otherwise it will be completely random and valve may end up have people get more knife's than the more common items (which would in that case make knives the more common items). So does anyone know or have some sort of a clue on the percentages on the rarities of an item? Also are you more likely to get a rare item at a less peak time or does that not have any effect on what you get? (What I mean by this is say if at 6pm everyone was opening cases are you less likely to get a rare item at this time or does this have no effect on what you get?) Are items decided on what they are going to be before you open the case? (so say I was about to open a case is the item that is going to come out going to be decided before I open it or chosen through the percentile method once opened?) My Dream Knife. (Hoping to get it as Factory New aha good luck lol.): ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/Aky6x.png)


What does the ending to Dark Souls 2 mean?

I think the title should make this obvious, but this question contains spoilers. At the ending to Dark Souls 2, > You defeat Nashandra, the queen of Drangleic. King Vendrick has gone hollow > and resides in the Undead Crypt, aimlessly dragging his sword around, I'm > not sure what is going on there. The Emerald Herald says something about > being created by dragons that I also don't understand. Then you walk across > the backs of some golems into some kind of stone throne chamber, and get > locked inside while some cryptic dialogue narrates, which I also didn't > understand. I watched the beginning cut scene again as well to try to gain a new perspective, but really I can't make any sense out of anything that's happening. Could someone try to explain what all of these strange events mean?


What's the difference between "Highest Kill Streak" and "Kill Streak Bonus"

When I look at the bottom of my stats in Battlefield 3 in the battlelog, under " _All time statistics_ " there are " _Highest Kill Streak_ " and " _Kill Streak Bonus_ " listed with the same number, 20 in my case. I've checked countless other profiles and I didn't find a single one where the numbers were different. So, do they actually mean the same thing and they screwed it up somehow? Or is the difference so subtle that people having different numbers are rare?

Is it possible to Just Guard attacks from behind?

I'm currently making my way through the Legendary Souls mode, and I must say I have never seen so much A.I. cheating in my life. While I am used to the computer cheating from my time fighting the extremely difficult A.I. in Soul Calibur III, there was one thing that caught my eye as being extremely odd. While I was fighting Kilik, I managed to get behind him. From my past experience with the Soul Calibur games, I know that it is impossible to guard or guard impact attacks from behind, and you also can't shake off grabs. However, when I went to attack him, he somehow Just Guarded my blow! **Is this just more A.I. cheating, or can human players do this as well?**


Is it worth upgrading my laser rifle to a pulse rifle?

I have a laser rifle, which does decent damage and can fire 25 shots for each energy pack. I have the required ingredients to convert it to a pulse rifle, but is it worth it, or will that just eat faster into my ammunition supply? How many shots can a pulse rifle do per energy pack? And I mean "shots", not "ammunition", because I noticed automatic weapons burn 5 ammunition count for each 3-shot burst.

Anor Londo : Sliver knight Spear

I currently finished my stay at Anor Londo defeating **Dragon Slayer Ornstein & Executioner Smough** (Shhh... Finally). And am headed towards defeating the Ceaseless Discharge. I am currently at level 60 and have accidentally killed The Blacksmith : Andre of Astora. I have moved on with my gameplay ignoring the fact that i could no longer upgrade my weapons anymore beside from fire augmentation upgrade provided by Blacksmith Vamos and other possible upgrade by using Weapon SmithBox. So , I am currently equipped with Sliver Knight Sword +5 and Lightning Spear +5. I am used to these weapons and bit excited with the Spear. After searching for while i found that the Anor Londo Silver Knight drops the ultimate Silver Knight Spear. So , i wrapped towards the Anor Londo and begin the hunt for the Spear killing every Silver Knight on Sight. ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/FlDrF.jpg) **Unfortunately they only drops sword and shield.** Question :   1. Where else can i find it ?   2. Are there any better Spears?


New Xbox 360 controller won't turn on with official charge pack but will with batteries?

I have an official charge pack kit from Microsoft and I recently bought a (supposed to be) genuine Microsoft controller off of eBay (from a high rep seller), the controller looks pretty good if it's a counterfeit (has all the stickers, though they are crooked) but the thing is it won't turn on if I use the charge packs (all three of them work), it will only turn on if I use the battery pack with double A's. Any solutions? And does this mean the controller I bought is a knock-off? The only thing suspicious (other than the above) is the hologram is different than all the holograms on the official products I own, all of my controllers the hologram has a Microsoft in the middle and it all looks a bit blurred. This controller's hologram sticker has Microsoft and Xbox 360 in alternating rows and is clear and easy to read. Couldn't get a good picture of the known legit hologram but this is what two of my known controllers' hologram looks like: ![](http://www.microsoft.com/global/en- us/howtotell/PublishingImages/MicrosoftHologram.png) Unknown hologram and grey plug and play port, the mic port is also grey instead of black ![](http://i.stack.imgur.com/7T5Nv.jpg) I also noticed that the mic port and plug and play are grey instead of black like the known black one. Without taking apart the unknown it looks like a cg2 board.

Do level 10840 and 11026 specialists give the full effect?

In the PSP version of Disgaea, Disgaea: Afternoon of Darkness, it is possible to get subdued specialists from Foresights and Tainted Staffs. Broker, Manager, Statistician, Armsmaster at level 10840 and alchemists on the staffs at level 11026. The max level for a Statistician is 300 which will increase your exp gain +300%. My question is, will a level 10840 increase exp gain by +10,840%? Or is it less powerful than level 300? And why? _**Experimental Data_** I've actually recorded some real data but can't figure out the exact effect they have. The formula for exp gain seems to be: Exp Gain = 0.02 * Enext * EP + 6 On the map first map of the Final Episode I combined the 4 monsters to create a level 570 Neuntoter with "NEXT" displaying as 1,028,004. (passed ~5 stronger monster proposals) With this we get: Exp = 0.02 * 1028004 * 20 + 6 = 411207.6 My completely new Recruit gained 4,168,848 Exp With 8 level 10840 Statisticians leveling to level 89. If 8 level 300 Statisticians would increase experience by +2400% or x25. Then she should have gained 10,280,175. Since this seems to be an increase of ~914% I think there's an error in my calculations!?

What ore can you create/refurbish funiture with in Animal Crossing New Leaf?

In ACNL I have got a couple of pieces of the gold funiture series which I made by bringing Cyrus a gold ore and 10,000 bells. Is this only possible to do with gold ore? Also is it possible to refurbish an item of funiture with other types of ore? For instance make a normal table an emerald table.


How do I not get incinerated or cut down on the very first battle?

I'm apparently being attacked by a giant dragon and there's fire everywhere. No matter what I do, I seem to catch fire and burn to death before fighting the second group of enemies. If this is a tutorial level, it's not a very good one. By the time I finish reading any of the tips it gives me, I'm generally dead. Sometimes I die before the tip is finished, which removes it from the screen and I'm left waiting for the level to re-load yet again. Even if I manage to get past the burning, there are so many enemies that I can't avoid death without healing. What game basics am I missing? How do I avoid the fire? How do I heal out of battle?


Are there graphical Nethack clients that connect to public servers?

So, there is the nethack.alt.org server where many users have gone and had their good times, using the text-based interface through a client such as PuTTY (or your favorite terminal client).

Are there any clients available that make use of graphical tilesets, and can connect to a public server?


How does killing senators affect their mood?

I know killing Senators in Disgaea 4 drops their affinity for you, but how much in absolute terms? They have a "Loathe" to "Love" scale but there's no numerical value presented in game so it's hard to tell. Specifically, how many items do I have to give them to make up for killing them once? Will one "Must Have" item do it or does it tick them off more/less than that? I'm trying to decide if it's ever worth killing senators or if I should wait until I can bribe them.


Why does Axii sign not work?

The _Axii_ sign should allow Geralt to get one enemy to fight on his side for a short while. This sound extremely useful for fighting groups, but I was unable to get it to work so far. What happens when I use it on an enemy is that he gets distracted for a second and some visual effect is visible on the enemy. But he doesn't attack other enemies and the whole thing lasts only a second or so. Am I doing something wrong, or does the _Axii_ sign just not work on many enemies?

Are points given for leveling random or always the same?

So, would Ogden (or whoever else) always have the same stats at level 15 each play through? Or would he sometimes have greater strength, but less defense or something? And more importantly, does he always get the same spells at the same level? I know it's the same order, but does the level he gains the spell vary? Or will he always get blastios at (14 I think?) the same level?


Guide to obtaining Dread Pirate Ring heirloom

I have all of the pieces of heirloom that can be obtained for a Mage I'm going to level except for the `Dread Pirate Ring` which is linked here: http://www.wowhead.com/item=50255 I don't know of any other heirloom rings available and this one has some nice bonuses. I hear it's quite the pain to get and I'm having difficulty finding good advice for having the best odds of getting it in the shortest amount of time. Would someone with experience getting this item be able to give some advice? Am I overlooking other heirloom rings that are available so I can avoid doing this one? I have never fished before. Does my fishing skill need to be at a certain level? Do I need to buy a pole from somewhere prior to?


Which item is the most cost effective for a Bruiser?

When you think of a Bruiser you know that you need tankiness and damage. I was just wondering which item by itself is the most cost effective to run against the average none double ap team.


How do I get a "Perfect" in Bit.Trip Runner?

I've been playing Bit.Trip Runner, trying to ace the Retro Warp Zones and get the "!!" on each level for collecting the gold. _All_ the gold. I had thought that simply collecting all of the gold was sufficient to earn a "perfect", but I managed to get a "!!" score on level 1-5, and yet, I did not also get the "PERFECT!" That I got when "!!"-ing 1-6, 1-7, 1-8, and 1-9. **Edit:** As Mr. McClelland points out below, a PERFECT! rating is scored by obtaining the maximum amount of points in the level. What actions increase your score? I know collecting gold is obviously part of it, but not all obstacles (such as sliding under low overhangs, or jumping gaps) reward points...


In Starcraft 2 about how many Terran marines can a Protoss zealot take on?

all of this is assuming that neither of the units has been upgraded and neither is being healed. Also assuming that all of the marines attack at once and it is a fight to the death.


How can I bring my pet to the valley of dead?

I've finally reached the valley of the dead, but I'm having trouble getting my pet to follow me down there. Seeing that it is a silver dragon, I really didn't want to leave it behind. The problem is that pets don't normally follow you through trap doors (only through stairs) and the only ways to get to the valley are the trap doors inside the catle. Is there a way around this problem? As long as I'm in the valley of the dead with my pet beside me, it's fair game. I'm playing a barbarian with tons of scrolls and a wand of wishing (which I didn't want to waste).


What are the secret achievements in Super Meat Boy?

Super Meat Boy has just been updated with new achievements, and though they are listed on the steam achievements page, they have no accompanying text on how to unlock them.\ The original secret achievements, the so-called cryptic, glitched achievements have already been identified elsewhere on this site. Some, such as the "Rare, Medium, Medium Well, and Well Done" achievements seem similar to the "Medium Rare" achievement (added for the steam summer camp event). Others, such as the "Well look at you!", "Seneca Falls", and the "Suffragette" achievement also have no unlock text, and they do not appear to be similar to existing achievements, either. What do I have to do to earn these achievements?

Why is the Starcraft 2 Minimap not a rectangle?

1. Why is the minimap in Starcraft 2 shaped like a Trapezoid.   2. Why does it change shape as it moves, with one side becoming elongated, etc.   3. On what game mechanics / mathematics is the shape and state based?


How can I run BattleStar Galactica Online on Linux?

I am aware that BattleStar Galactica Online requires the Unity 3D browser plug-in to play. It is currently only available to Windows. I installed the windows version of Firefox 20 using Wine 1.4.1. It ran beautifully and smoothly. Then I installed the United 3D browser plugin version 4.1.2f1 using Wine. I registered for the game and went to play it. However, it gave me this error when the game started to load:               Failed to update    Unity web player     Error Details       Install Manually      This is the newest version of the Unity player. Also, selecting Error details produces a pop up that says:               A New version of the Unity Web Player is required, but the auto-update download failed.     Was trying to download http://webplayer.unity3d.com//Channels/795a449bc926/UnityPlayer3.x.x-win32.zip      Does anyone know what is causing the problem? Has anyone figured out a work around? * * * **Update**   As per suggestion, I tried following the link given in the error details. The url changed since the problem started, it is now `http://webplayer.unity3d.com//Channels/911c7369eeac/UnityPlayer3.x.x-win32.zip`. It opened in Ubuntu's Archive Manager and I extracted the contents to `.../Local Settings/Application Data/Unity/WebPlayer/player/3.x.x/` in my user folder within my `.wine` folder. I placed the old files in a new folder in case I needed to revert back. When I reloaded firefox and went to Battlestar Galactica Online, I had the identical error message as above. This idea was a dead end. * * * **Comment**   To avoid an extended conversation with myself, I'll add the following information which may or may not be helpful as an edit. The Unity forums, which is a clone of a stack exchange site, offers little help to people with issues. I found multiple posts by Windows users who have had the same problem. The answers were either vague or irrelevant in most cases with a few of them just plain out-of-date.   * http://answers.unity3d.com/questions/35664/web-player-auto-update-failed.html   * http://forum.unity3d.com/threads/166844-unity-web-player-doesn-t-work   * http://answers.unity3d.com/questions/438965/auto-update-failed-1.html This link may actually prove to be helpful. However, I don't know which log file they are referring to. If someone can tell me, we may be one step close to getting this game running. * * * **Update**   I removed the log files I had previously uploaded here. One was the from when I attempted an to use an older version of Unity and therefore irrelevant. Here are the two new log files that are actually relevant. The first one is `log_9e49528ca7602f43a8ab3e512f51ec85.txt`               130531 13:49:16 ------------------------------------------------------------     130531 13:49:16 Instance starting, version 4.1.3f3_9174d583c97b, UNITY_WEB_ENABLE_AUTODOWNLOAD: 1, GetDisableAutoUpdates(): 0     130531 13:49:16 Datafile http://battlestargalactica-547.ah.bpcdn.net/client/bgoclient.unity3d?__cv=74ec5150a2588c2594bbc497c418cc00     130531 13:49:26 Setting error display: 'Failed to update Unity Web Player', details: 'A newer version of Unity Web Player is required, but the auto-update download failed.     Was trying to download http://webplayer.unity3d.com//Channels/9174d583c97b/UnityPlayer3.x.x-win32.zip', link: 1      The second one is `manager_a9779ddffc02944b911eb9afcd5390ff.txt`               130531 13:47:33 ------------------------------------------------------------     130531 13:47:33 Manager starting, version 4.1.3f3_9174d583c97b     130531 13:47:36 Requesting bundle 1 (3.x.x) update.

Required revision range is 4138003 to 4138003, installed revision is ffffffff      * * * **Interpretation**   From what I can tell from the log file, the number that precedes each line is actually the day in yymmdd format followed by the military time. The file that begins with "log" only has information on what the most recent session with the Unity Web Plugin outputed. The file beginning with "manager" seems to keep all error messages from the current browser session. The error message:               Requesting bundle 1 (3.x.x) update. Required revision range is 4138003 to 4138003, installed revision is ffffffff      Appears after all events in both log files. From searching the Unity forums, I noticed that this error appears for multiple Windows users. Of course they are offered no help in determining the cause aside from their generic explanation of the error message. But those users did not give up hope and eventually some of them discovered the cause. Many of them has some kind of encryption system that prevented Unity from reading the files and folders it needed. Other people had some kind of network encryption that also seemed incompatible with Unity. The question now becomes what in wine is causing Unity to fail and is it something that can be worked around? * * * **Possible Solution?** There is with forum thread at winehq that claims to have gotten wine to run Unity via a patched version of wine (see here). It requires modifying some code and recompiling wine, there is a link to this video in which youtube user David Techer instructs on how to get it working. Ironically, the video features this very page in it yet Techer did not bother to leave an answer, >:( . This method uses a different version of Wine, Firefox, Unity, and Ubuntu than I asked, however if it works I would gladly accept it as an answer provided that someone answers it in a clear, well structured manner. Edit: The forum thread mentions applying a four part patch to fix bug number 12067, however that patch is already applied to wine version 1.7.6 and newer. The current version of wine 1.7.9 has a bug that results in certain programs, like firefox, to crash at startup (firefox gives a "could not load xpcom" error). This is suppose to be fixed when 1.7.10 comes out, however 1.7.8 runs firefox quite well. Since the simple instructions on obtaining the source code for wine using git results in the 1.7.9 code, I'll wait until 1.7.10 comes out to attempt this workaround. However the forum thread replaces:               HDESK WINAPI OpenInputDesktop( DWORD flags, BOOL inherit, ACCESS_MASK access )     {     FIXME( "(%x,%i,%x): stub\n", flags, inherit, access );     SetLastError( ERROR_CALL_NOT_IMPLEMENTED );     return 0;     }      in winstation.c (in wine version 1.7.0) with               HDESK WINAPI OpenInputDesktop( DWORD flags, BOOL inherit, ACCESS_MASK access )     {     return CreateDesktopA("Desktop", 0, 0, flags, access, 0);     }      However, in the winstation.c file in 1.7.9 it's               HDESK WINAPI OpenInputDesktop( DWORD flags, BOOL inherit, ACCESS_MASK access )     {         HANDLE ret = 0;              TRACE( "(%x,%i,%x)\n", flags, inherit, access );              if (flags)             FIXME( "partial stub flags %08x\n", flags );              SERVER_START_REQ( open_input_desktop )         {             req->flags      = flags;             req->access     = access;             req->attributes = inherit ? OBJ_INHERIT : 0;             if (!wine_server_call_err( req )) ret = wine_server_ptr_handle( reply->handle );         }         SERVER_END_REQ;              return ret;     }      ~~I'm a bit reluctant in making a change since it may break wine. It seems that since 1.7.0 that the call to the function OpenInputDesktop has been implemented and doesn't merely create an error message.~~ OpenDesktopA function returns the OpenDesktopW function which returns the open_winstation_desktop function which basically looks like what 1.7.9 and 1.7.10 has written for the OpenInputDesktop. It's more efficient not to recompile wine with the mentioned patch as it will do the same thing as is only with a smaller runtime stack. So I need to try to install firefox, flash, and unity with 1.7.10 then copy and past the updated files from a windows pc into the correct folder. If anyone has already done it please post detailed instructions and your results so I can select it as the best answer.


Can I change my color / design in Spiral Knights?

Upon character creation in Spiral Knights, you pick a design and a color. Are these attributes forever immutable, or does there exist an in-game way to change either option (short of creating a new character entirely)?

Resistance levels to tank in Inferno

Is it possible to stand in molten, let arcane beams hit you etc. if you have extremely high resist? As in, those elemental attacks will damage you no matter what right? I am running Act 2 Inferno as a monk, and trying to figure out is whether you can get your resistances high enough so that the monk can just stand in fire (without life regen, or hitting enemies) and survive like he could in Hell for any elemental affixes on elites. I currently have 690 Resist All and find I die extremely quick if I encounter a group of Illusionist elites, who **_multiply_** and drop a good 4-5 arcane lasers near my feet. That's pretty much the only way i die atm.


What Does the Movie Icon in the Bitizens Album Mean?

Each special bitizen in the album has a picture and a description after they've been unlocked. Some bitizens have a movie icon in the top right hand corner of their profile. I have not been able to figure out what the movie icon symbolizes. At first, I thought it meant that bitizen has unlocked a scene, but even bitizens that have not been unlocked have the icon. ![Darth is locked, but unlocks scenes](http://i.stack.imgur.com/JAaBHm.png) Then, I thought it meant that the bitizen has the ability to unlock a scene, but then I came across a bitizen that unlocks a scene but does not have the icon. ![Imperial Gunner unlocks a scene, but doesn't have an icon](http://i.stack.imgur.com/AvHN7m.png) And of course, there are bitizens that don't unlock anything (that I've found) that have a movie icon. ![Akbar doesn't unlock anything, but has the movie icon](http://i.stack.imgur.com/NRjTkm.png) It doesn't seem to be completely random, as characters that unlock scenes are more likely to have the icon than those that don't. And, characters that don't have the icon are not very likely to unlock a scene.


How can I get rid of an Unstable Node quickly?

So I'm an admin of a minecraft server, and I've discovered that the wisps near my server's spawn arn't just the result of a spawner, there is actually a very large (over 500 vis) unstable node about 100 meters from the spawn area generating them. This is causing all kinds of issues as I have people joining the server and getting practically insta-gibbed by a swarm of wisps. How can I get rid of the node quickly? (I'm using Thaumcraft 3)


How can I fix a stagnant river?

I embarked in a river location, in which the river shared some squares with a murky pool. Apparently there's a bug in the current version of Dwarf Fortress, which means that the river is slowly becoming stagnant, spreading from the intersection tile. How can I fix this? Is there another program that can be used to edit the location to move/delete the murky pool and remove the stagnant-flag from the affected river tiles? It's slowly creeping closer to my well, so please hurry!


What's the secret info able to be garnered from the 1.7 screenshots?

Notch tweeted a couple of pictures a while ago, one of the 1.7 changelog blurred, one of a picture at night with a yellow dot at the left, which he then said that he fixed a bug and reposted the picture with the yellow dot gone. Notch said that some info from v1.7 can be acquired from these pictures and said that someone has figured it out already. What is it?


I can't move or dump items that were dropped by Dwarfs interrupted in a task

I had two dwarfs build a wall when they were interrupted by the werefox Iño Enemtuthru. Apparently a large fox twisted into a humanoid form is enough to drop everything and start running. The problem is I can't get rid of those two dropped granite blocks.. They are marked for dumping, but noone has picked them up in a long time and now they are blocking further constructions. What can I do to convince the dwarfs to pick them up? Is it a bug or am I missing something?


Can you die / lose all your health at the very end of Bastion?

In the final level of Bastion, you reach a point where > you must choose whether to take Zulf and save him or leave him and fight the > Ura yourself. Is it possible to die after this point? Even though you still can take hits, your health bar actually goes away as does your potion count, so it's unclear whether you are still taking damage or if that entire scene is just an interactive cinematic. > In the Take Zulf branch, you actually are prompted to heal at times. What > happens if you don't or are out of potions?


When is the right time to use the DMR and the Battle Rifle?

Halo 4 has both the DMR (see in Halo: Reach) and the Battle Rifle (first appeared in Halo 2, firing three-burst shots) and for the first time they both appear in the same game, avalible as a primary weapon in choosing your loadouts for multiplayer. However, which one should be used? I get the impression that the DMR is suited for medium-long range, while the Battle Rifle is for short-medium combat, but when I go into combat against someone with a DMR when using a Battle Rifle I always tend to lose. The Halo 4 Strategy guide says the Battle Rifle is an "instant hit" weapon, so does this count against me for the "slower" bullets of the DMR?


How many items can the supply convoy hold?

I can't seem to find any information (in-game or online) about the capacity of the supply convoy, and I'm accumulating a lot of equipment that might not get used up anytime soon.


How can I rob the church collection box if I'm not playing a rogue?

I've just picked up the Tithe Box from Dawnbringer Natrisse, who has asked me to deliver it to Brother Merring back in West Harbor. I remember from past playthroughs that it's possible, through some skill checks, to open the box, and skim a little off the top before making the delivery for some bonus XP, Gems, and Gold. Unfortunately, while I seem to be able to buff myself enough to pass the initial Search check, I can't pass the Disable Device check, nor can I pawn it off to Neeshka. What's the minimum Disable Device skill required to rob the church box? Are there other, further skill checks required that I'm forgetting about? Or is it just flat out impossible to get enough Disable Device from buffs and equipment alone to pass this check as anything other than a Rogue?


How to enable Steam overlay while playing Dungeons of Dredmor?

For some reasons I cannot access to Steam overlay and other Steam features (F12->screenshot) while playing Dungeons of Dredmor. Do you know how to fix it? Just to be precise the in-game option in the Steam game properties is enabled.


Choosing between gem quest rewards

Is there any ranking as to the usefulness or rarity of some of the offered quest rewards? Yes, I know that its possible to just run through the content multiple times and get all of them - but I don't want to do that yet, my furthest char is Act 2 Normal ;) What considerations should I think of, for e.g. when choosing between `Added Lightning Damage` and `Weapon Elemental Damage` for a Templar? Are there general 'rules of thumb' to keep in mind?


How do I lower the drawbridge in Geirmund's Hall?

In Geirmund's hall, there is a point where I'm at a drawbridge that I can't lower. A nearby switch triggers the traps that pop out of the wall, and I can see the two beady eyes of the wight waiting for me once I get the bridge down. How do I do so? There doesn't seem to be any of the obvious bird-fish-snake puzzles nearby. Here is the screenshot of the location: ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/R5KKq.jpg)

Pocket Legends, Can't find suitable quests for newbie

I am a new player in Pocket Legends MMO(iPhone game) world. At the beginning I am a character of level 2. Now I want to explore different places. But wherever I go, it says you can't enter until you are of X level, where X is very high. So, I have 2 options to increase my level(I guess) 1. Kill someone 2. Complete objectives. But, I don't find places where a newbie can kill enemies. I found someplace where there are lots of skeletons, but I can't kill them alone. I need a party. So, 1st option out of reach. Second option is completing different quests. But, here there are also level issues. Most of the objectives I take require a high level character. I don't find quests that ares suitable for level 2-3 character. What do I do in this situation to level up my character?


What is weapon level rank?

After every battle there seems to be a grade based on how well I do. However, I can't tell what the weapon level rank does but it is consistently dropping my mission rank down a level or two. What is this based on and how can I improve it?


What are aliens' movement limitations?

In one of my missions I saw something strange: Chryssalids were unable to enter a small truck's trunk with just one panel broken. They even didn't attack a person standing right in front of this panel. (My only survivor, a heavily wounded sniper, was able to kill 6 Chryssalids.) Why couldn't they attack me here? Are there any other limitations? I also think Sectopods can't use stairs/drainpipes, and I've never seen a Berserker use one either. **EDIT:** I was wrong, Sectopods can climb ladders (or jump?). Otherwise I have no idea how next screenshot can happen as at previous turn he was downstairs. ![jumpopod](http://i.stack.imgur.com/2tqHZ.jpg)


Problems connecting my PS Vita to internet with my router

Im trying to connect my PS Vita to internet with my router, but Im having lot of trouble. The connection to the router seems to work ok, but internet is not working. When I run the "Internet Connection Test", I get this:               Obtain IP Address    Successful          Internet Connection  Successful          PSN Sign-in          Failed          Error code : c2-11003-5      The WWW Browser doesnt work either. What am I missing? My Android phone, my laptop and all the other devices Ive connected to the router worked alright out of the box.


How exactly does Keymaster work?

The perk "Keymaster" (Pickpocket) states "Pickpocketing keys almost always works." What does this mean? Does it mean that all keys will always have a 90% chance (the cap) to be pickpocketed? If so, are there keys later on that are really hard to pickpocket? Because where I am currently (not very far) all keys I've come across already have a 90% chance to be stolen, so I'm wondering if this perk is worth it.


Is the contents of a Mann Co. Supply Crate set before it is opened?

The only items I can market are Mann Co. Supply Crates. And, if I have a look at the description of the crate, I can see a list of possible items: ![Description of a Mann Co. Supply Crate](http://i.stack.imgur.com/701bo.jpg) Does this mean that if I try to open the crate a pseudo-random number would be drawn and one item would be given to me? Or is the item already set when I first got the crate? This is especially important for the "Exceedingly Rare Special Item"! Strangely, if the draw had yet to happen, then I would have no problem selling the crate. But if the draw already happened, then I would like to know the result, and I would be a bit reluctant to sell the crate. It is all about psychology, because I understand there is no difference in fact.


New Vegas - How useful is high stealth really?

I'm rather new to FA:NV (but not the series). I'm going for a pretty standard sniper build. Sneak around and pick of target. A bit like a stealth archers in Skyrim. However, one guide suggests that you shouldn't go nuts on stealth since you will be so far away that they won't see you anyway. Is there any merit to that claim? Otherwise I was thinking of going 100 (or close) in Sneak but is that wasting points?

How can I land for a treasure hunt in Sid Meier's Pirates for the Wii?

I got a complete treasure map and I know where to land to find it. But I cannot, my ship keep bouncing on the beach. I played that game long ago on my computer and I'm trying the Wii version. I don't remember if I had to do something special on the PC version, what I remember is that I just had to crash on the beach to get a party on foot, but I did not find how to do this on the Wii version.

Does Vorpal Spikes proc Rylai's crystal scepter slow?

Some people say it does, and some people say it doesn't. My friend is pretty sure Cho'Gath's Vorpal Spikes does proc Rylai's Crystal Scepter's passive, but we both can't test at the moment. I thought it didn't proc on toggle skills, but he swears it does. The people in the threads I mentioned seem to classify Vorpal Spikes as an AoE spell rather than an on-hit toggle skill... Anyone have some insight on this?


Where can I listen to Diablo 1, 2 and Starcraft soundtracks?

Are Steam games locked down?

Does Steam prevent changes to game files? There are a lot of games that benefit from tweaking or third-party patches for performance improvements or to improve compatibility with newer hardware features. Does Steam lock down game files in such a way that make INI tweaks, DLL replacers, memory injection, executable wrappers, third-party patches, or other modding methods hard or impossible? These sorts of hacks tend to be more common and more important for older games. It does seem like some tuning is possible, but that example is for a DOSBox-based emulated game, and I just don't know how much Steam will let you do to an old Windows game.


How are you supposed to win the first battle for the final chapter?

The chapter starts and you're immediately met with a boss fight between a rather weak foe and my strongest character (the Necromancer). Sounds like a piece of cake -- his units are undeleveled and I can deal 75% more damage with my units thanks to the Spider Cloak. Things take a turn for the wrong when you complete a turn and the third row of your battlefield is outlined in orange circles. Basically, _this guy destroys everything on your second and third line every other round._ Even if I create a bunch of walls there, they get destroyed like everything else only for my units to advance to their doom one turn later. I suppose that I'm supposed to rely on my rather awesome spell attack for this, but it takes quite a while to charge and, in the meantime, I'm being attacked with everything he's got. What the hell is going on and how are you supposed to play?


Bioshock Infinite not loading autosaves

So for some reason, be it game or console related, my game has me stuck with my checkpoint set at the First Lady Aerodome. No matter how far I advance, if I try to quit or press "restart last checkpoint" in the menu, it'll keep sending me back to to where I was hours ago. This last time I noticed that if I tried to return to the Main Menu, a warning popped up telling me my last save was in November of 2005. Clearly this is not correct. Has anyone else encountered this and know how to fix it?


Idling in Team Fortress 2

After the recent class update, I've been trying to increase my play time from 2 to 3 hours per week to 2 to 3 per night in order to receive additional weapon drops. Yet this doesn't seem to be enough to find the weapons that I'm after. My question is:   * What are the latest methods for idling in Team Fortress 2?   * Does Valve still actively punish idlers, and if so, how do I avoid this?


How do I use the bombers?

I have been playing this game regularly for a week and I still can't figure out how to use the bombers. I see all the levels have them and I can tell where they are (marked by 3 little airplanes on mini map) but how the heck do you use these things? Everytime I try to enter the little radar station nothing happens. Last night I sat at the door the whole game waiting for something to pop up or the door to open and nothing ever happened. Am I doing something wrong? Do I need to activate something else to get into the control room? It's possible I'm an idiot and am missing a red herring because I see them flying around all the time so I know most people know how to use them.

Does the Frontier Justice get revenge crits when Combat Sentries are destroyed?

I tried a Gunslinger engineer build and was using Frontier Justice. I would drop my combat sentries in locations where they seemed really likely to destroyed thinking I would get bonus crits. However, I was having a bad night (or perhaps all my opponents were having really excellent night) and I was dying too frequently to see if I was even getting the bonus crits. Does anyone know if this works?


Why does the Origami Killer leave his victims near railroad tracks?

At the beginning of the game, Jayden learns that the Origami Killer always leaves the corpses of his victims near railroad tracks.

Can mobs spawn on slabs?

Endermen are dismantling my mob grinder. This question has an answer that suggests endermen can't spawn on slabs, so if I cover the whole floor with slabs, I should be fine. Except I read single slabs are considered "transparent" and monsters can only spawn on "opaque". OTOH, double slabs are considered "opaque"... how does that relate to monster spawning?

How do you defeat Bowser Jr. at the end of World 3?

In Super Mario Galaxy 2, you have to fight Bowser Jr. who is in a giant robot suit sort of thing. You have Yoshi, and there are Bullet Bills flying at you. I've figured out that I have to get Yoshi to eat the Bullet Bills and spit them out at the blue domes on the front of the robot suit (twice on each side to fully destroy each one), but when it comes to hitting the one on the robot suit's back, Bowser Jr. turns around too quickly for me to be able to shoot him if Yoshi eats one of the Bullet Bills that come out of the robot suit's back. Is there something I am missing here? I keep dying, and would love to be able to make it to the next world.

What other ways are there to obtain sector data?

While playing FTL, I have suddenly gained information on the sector without having Long-Range Scanners or having paid a mercenary for a scouting report. IE, I can see environmental hazards and potential ship locations. It has happened a few times, on different playthroughs. When it happens, it lasts for the duration of the sector, and then goes away. Is there an event (other than paying mercs to scout), or something else that triggers this?

In mini-ninja how do you fish?

I'm playing mini-ninja on my pc. I was sailing on the ninja hat boat and successfully caught my first fish. However, when I tried catching again I am unable to do so. when I'm trying to fish again he just puts out the rod as if he is fishing and waits but there is no bait on the rod. So the fish don't come. Any idea how to fish again? Do we need to find bait again or what? Or is it that he won't bait as long as he has "1 sushi" in his inventory?

Does the mission order matter?

Does the order in which I do the missions in GTA IV matter? And more specifically, is it possible that a mission will become no longer available just because of another mission I perform before it? Right now I'm assuming there's no problem and whenever I am free I just go to the nearest available mission, but I was started to get worried that it might cause me to miss out on missions. **Clarification:** by "missions" I only mean the missions you receive from going to the map locations marked with letters, not activities such as stealing cars for Brucie or vigilante missions.

Water Elevator does not work in death-pit EXP farm

I found a dungeon with a skeleton spawner, and I'm trying to build a "Death- pit Experience Farm" around it. With the help of wiki pages and youtube videos, I managed to use water to flush the mobs spawned to a tunnel. At the end of the tunnel, I'm planning to build a water elevator abusing the mob AI, hoping them to swim up 23 blocks and drop down from another pit:               W     L     W     L     W     L                     [ room  ]     W                     [ with  ]     L<---<---<---<---<--- [spawner]   (L=ladder, W=water, <-- stream)      Everything works fine except the mobs will not swim upwards. They get stuck at the bottom of the water elevator. (If I myself follow the stream and hold "space", I'll reach the bottom of the water elevator and swim up smoothly.) Why aren't skeleton swim up? What have I done wrong?
