How do you determine which type of Mob you have selected?

How can you tell the difference between the mobs in Rift? Basically, if I click the mob, what is the indicator that it is not a normal mob?


Lost my default weapons in Garry's Mod

I went onto some random server and I didn't spawn with my default weapons. All I had was a physics gun. Which was what I was spawned with when I started a singleplayer game after this. I had nothing else. How can I get the other guns back?


Where does Modern Warfare 3 save your profile information?

I'm wondering where Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3's saved games folder sits, especially when you use steam to install and play the game. After "tricking" Steam to installing it from the disk, rather than downloading it from the Internet, it never asked where I would like to install it (from what I can remember) and it doesn't put it under the usual program files (x86) folder. I would like to find this out so that I can backup my saved games, in case something happens to them.


Where are Cognition Episode 4's saved games stored?

Does anyone know where the saved games are stored in Cognition Episode 4? I am using a Windows 8 x64 PC.


Which mushrooms are edible?

I know the mushroom color/symptom combination is random for each game, but are there any methods for discovering which mushrooms do what? Example: The game starts with you eating a poison mushroom. Does that mean the mushroom that grows in that spot is always poisonous?


Situations Where Demon Hunter would Be Better with Enchantress/Scoundrel as Follower

I'm slowly playing solo only Diablo 3 and just had the option to have the Scoundrel be my companion. Right now I'm pretty happy with having the Templar since he is acting as the melee part of my party. However, it dawned on me that perhaps I'm being too close minded about this and perhaps I should also start leveling the Scoundrel (and/or the Enchantress once I get her). Without spoiling anything, are there cases/situations where it would help to have two ranged attackers instead of just me playing the ranged Demon Hunter and having the Templar act as a tank?


Is there any benefit to destroying non-target breakable objects?

There are certain items in the environment that can be destroyed by attacking it but are not directly targetable. You can't click on them to destroy them (like breakable urns), you have to hold your ground in front of one and swing at it or shoot something at it. e.g., fire urns in crypts ![a fire urn](http://i.stack.imgur.com/KfcGU.jpg) **Are there any benefits to breaking these down?** As far as I can tell, breaking them doesn't count toward the "break stuff achievements" ( **Breaker** , **Destructor** and **Bull In A China Shop** ) and they don't seem to drop anything. It seems as they are only there for aesthetic reasons. But is there something that I'm missing?


How do you use health items in Borderlands 2?

I played Borderlands 1, but it's been a long time. I've searched through the menus, and I can't see how I use any of the red health items. I know I must have some, because when I approach new ones they say "Full". Help?


Do 'Rooster Bakery' and 'Hot Song Karaoke' actually exist?

Out of curiosity, I started to go around inside the game world to look for shops that are mentioned in some radio commercials (especially those spoken in Cantonese). I looked for the captioned shops but cannot find them anywhere. Anyone spotted them?


How exactly does a drugstore robbery work?

I am a little bit confused about the robbery of a drug store in GTA Online. So I have some questions:   * After the robbery, I sometimes get a 2-star wanted level, and other times a 3-star wanted level. Why does this happen?   * Is it harder to lose the cops after a robbery? I have a lot of problems after a robbery to lose them.   * Sometimes, when I drive by a drug store which I already robbed, I automatically get a wanted star. Why?   * Do you have some other usefull hints for me?


What are the base statistics for Diablo 3 classes?

I am currently making a spreadsheet of all the classes (at level 60) stats when they are wearing no gear. What are the base statistics (wearing no gear) for the monk, wizard, and witch doctor? If you have any of those classes at lvl 60 could you please take off all your gear and post all your stats, I would be eternally grateful!! EDIT: I apologize, I should have clarified, I need all statistics, not just the dex,int,vit, and str. so armour, damage, resistances, dodge chance etc please


Bidding in the Auction House

When buying items in the auction house, it's not immediately apparent (or at least, wasn't to me) how bidding works. Buyout is straight forward by comparison. Based on my own selling experience, it seems like very few people are making use of the bid option; perhaps because it's not obvious how it works. Basically, what happens when I choose to bid on an item?


Broken quest (Leifnarr's death). Is it possible to fix it?

as per subject I'm on PS3 and unfortunately I've uncovered the body of Leifnarr before getting the quest. Is it possible to _get_ the quest after you've found the body? I've read around on PC you can re-trigger the quest... Is it there the _console_ on PS3? I could connect a USB keyboard in case and try reset it.


What does the "Low morale" effect on items do in Dragon Age: Origins?

I've come across one or two items with "Low morale" listed as an effect (mainly with the gift-become-items from the Prank DLC), but what does that do to the wearer? I myself would guess that it impacts on Mental Resistance (being low morale = run away more often) and maybe have an effect on hit rate, but does anyone know / can confirm what effect it has on the wearer?


_Alternate Title: "How can I choose between The Raw and The Cooked?"_ Cannibals are the main Reaper ground enemy you encounter in Mass Effect 3, so called because they devour the corpses of their fallen allies to regain armor and strength. Disruptor and incendiary ammo both do an excellent job of killing them, but they leave a pesky buffet luncheon lying around for any Fine Young Cannibals who come along. I'm Not Satisfied by this. I don't have Liara's warp ammo (because She Drives Me Crazy), which means that I'm left with Cyro ammo, which - in contrast to The Flame and disruptor rounds - shatters enemies if I kill them while they are frozen. It seems reasonable to assume that once an enemy has been shattered, It's O.K. to ignore him, but what if all I'm doing is turning them into convenient, bite-sized chunky salsa for their compadres to enjoy? Suspicious Minds want to know: **Does shattering a frozen Reaper prevent his friends from eating him?**


Why didn't my total score increase by same amount that my high score increased?

For example, in one level, my highest score was '96,850' and then I got a better score of '98,570'. So that means my score for this particular level should be increased by '1,720' points. However, when I check my rankings, I found that my total score (for Pig Bang only) was only increased from '1,925,475' to '1,926,145', which is an increase of '670' points. There are other situations where I got a better score of about '600' points but the total increased only by about '400'. All the scores were taken as snapshots on the new iPad, so I can do calculations with good accuracy. Does anyone know why the scores increase differently? **Update: After some more playing, I just noticed that the Pig Bang level says I have a score of`1,961,015`, with 90 stars out of 90 stars obtained, while if I go to the Rankings of Game Center, it says my score for Pig Bang is `1,959,240` -- and this score was updated as soon as I got higher score in one level, so it looks like this score is very up to date. But why different from `1,961,015`?**


Play a specific mission over in Mass Effect 3

So I'm playing through mass effect 3 and I need to go back and get reference shots from certain levels. I was too used to steam and got this on on origins so all my screen shots didn't take. I need them for reference material for a project. Specifically the comm tower on palaven. I now have a screen cap system in place but that mission takes a bit to get to so I don't want to run through the intro of the game again just to get there.


What affects the matchmaking?

When you search for a village to attack, how does Clash of Clans choose an enemy village? Does it only choose villages by people with a similar amount of trophies, who are in the same league, does the town hall level also matter or is there anything else that influences the matchmaking?


Can you charge the PS3 wireless controller over regular USB?

I normally charge the PS3 controller by connecting it to the PS3 while its idling, but I guess it's much easier to charge it through my PCs USB port. Would this work?


I am having trouble interacting with the Brotherhood

Im having a bit of a problem. I did the still in the dark mission, talked to the elder who said that lockdown will be over. I received 1000 xp. Then I went to Hardin telling that he could knock out the elder of place. He said he has been waiting for this. I also received 1000 xp from Hardin. Talking to the elder, he also announced that the lockdown will be lifted and it has been lifted, cause i receieve the ammo from the locker next to the entrance. The problem is that i cant talk to the elder because he keeps responding that he needs to defend himself from hardin's charges. Hardin also doesnt respond sayin he is too busy and i should come back in a few days. I have waited a lot but nothing seems to change and i am stuck. Can any1 help? Note: I have done the crazy,crazy,crazy mission after the unsuccesful try to speak to the elder i think in the good way. I fought my way to the broadcast station, repaired the robot and tabitha gave me the key. I unlocked the second floor room with the key found under the stairs.


Varied NPC AI in left 4 dead?

Do the different characters have different AI behaviors? While playing left-4-dead with two of my friends we endless joke and complain about Coach's sniper shotgun. He seems to last hit special infected from extreme distances with a _shotgun_. Obviously, his super-human aim is attributed to the fact that he's a bot. But what about his preference for a shotgun? How about his bias towards killing special infected over common?   Rochelle on the other hand seems to prefer to mow through common infected like a meat grinder with an automatic rifle. Is this just me seeing a ghost in the machine or is there more to it?


VATS damage reduction in Fallout New Vegas

In Fallout 3, during VATS you had 90% damage reduction. In Fallout New Vegas this seems to be considerably reduced. Is it known how big the damage reduction is now, or has it been removed entirely?


What is the mineral composition of each type of ore?

In EVE Online, each type of ore refines into one or more mineral, so for example, Veldspar regardless of type (Concentrated, Dense, etc) will always refine 100% into Tritanium. While the information page for each ore will tell you what it breaks down into, this is pretty vague and will result in something like the following; > With a large portion of nocxium the Hemorphite is always a good find. It is > common enough that even novice miners can expect to run into it. Hemorphite > also has a bit of tritanium, pyerite, mexallon and isogen as well as trace > amounts of Zydrine. It requires 500 ore units to refine. I'm more specifically interested in a breakdown for each ore of the following;   * How much ore is required to refine   * What the mineral composition of each type of ore is   * How much of each mineral you will get by refining


Thieves Guild Predicament

So i have just kind of learned about the Nightingale armor and how cool it is an all. I figured out i have to complete the thieves guild questline. (On a side note I'm level 40 dark elf and have been playing the elder scrolls since Morowind so I'm not new to this. Also I am playing on 360, if that helps.) Anyways, I went into my quests and do not see a quest on the list of quests I found for the specific questline. Here is my problem. I have joined the guild, but that was a long time ago. I have no clue weather I succeeded in planting the ring or not. In addition, NO matter where i look, i can not find Brynjolf in Riften. Is there any way I can still start these quests? Also, all of the odd jobs I ask for are auxiliary quests except the "No stone unturned quest" and I only need Proudspire Manor to complete that quest. Is that another way to access the main questline? Thank you in advance, any advice is helpful.


Is it possible to get to Diglett's Cave in the sequence suggested by the Pokemon Blue/Red town map?

The sequence of locations in the Pokemon Blue/Red town map (if you just keep pressing the up button) is: >   1. Pallet Town > >   2. Route 1 > >   3. Viridian City > >   4. Route 2 > >   5. Viridian Forest > >   6. Diglett's Cave > >   7. Pewter City > >   8. Route 3 > >   9. Mt. Moon > > > > ... > > 43. Route 22 > > 44. Route 23 > > 45. Victory Road > > 46. Indigo Plateau > > 47. Power Plant This entire sequence matches the order in which you encounter each of these areas in the normal course of gameplay, with the exception of Diglett's Cave, which you don't normally encounter until later in the game. Is it possible to access Diglett's cave at an earlier point in the game, as is suggested by its location in the Town Map?

Are there any side missions you cannot complete later in the game?

I'd like to play through the entire game once just completing the core missions, then on my second or third playthrough, really explore the side missions. Are there any side missions that "go away" and cannot be done once progress has been made on the main mission?


Do the afflicted become random events?

When completing the daedric quest "The Only Cure" you meet a series of NPCs designated "The Afflicted". I was wandering Skyrim north of Solitude when I encountered two "Afflicted Remnants" fighting with each other before attacking me. Was this a fluke or do these "afflicted remnants" become random events such as bandits & thieves in the wilds of Skyrim? The Elder Scrolls Wikia says that a group will be sent out to hunt the dragonborn after the quest, but now that I have dispatched them once will they reappear?


Is there a way to increase the odds of getting a portal key?

There's a few portals I've taken over and want to link, but I can't get a portal key to the portals I want to link to, even after hacking them repeatedly until they're burned out. Is there something that can be done to help improve the odds of getting a portal key when you're hacking?

Why do I shoot enemies in the left arm most of the time?

Here are my Counter Strike 1.6 `rankstats` for a certain period of play:               Kills : 971 (309 with hs)     Hits  : 3727     Shots : 17387     Acc.  : 21.43%          HITS      :     head      :  424 (11.95%)     chest     :  607 (17.10%)     stomach   :  406 (11.44%)     leftarm   : 1214 (34.21%)     rightarm  :  420 (11.83%)     leftleg   :  223 ( 6.28%)     rightleg  :  255 ( 7.19%)      Notice the very high percentage of shots aimed at the enemy's left arm. When shooting, I normally aim for the chest hoping for a headshot on the second or third fire but too may shots on left arm is unexplainable. Do I need to change my game settings? Or change my shooting strategy perhaps?

Will the Xbox 360 Slim wipe an external hard drive's memory in the formatting process?

I am looking to get a Xbox 360 Slim. I was thinking that since I have a one terabyte external hard drive I could just use it with my new Xbox Slim. But does the Xbox 360 Slim clear the data currently on it? I want like 100gb for the Xbox and the rest for the PC. I'm pretty sure you can select and amount you want to use for the Xbox but does it clear the rest?


How to reconfigure my Xbox 360 hard drive back into a hard drive?

I first had a 20G hard drive on my Xbox and I was running low on space. I got a 60G hard drive and a cheap transfer cable off Amazon. I accidentally plugged it in the wrong way and configured it so that the only way to use the hard drive is if you have it plugged in like if you are transfering data. You can't put it on the top because it says that there is no hard drive plugged in. Also, out of the 60G, I was only allowed to use 32G. Now I'm running low on space again and wondering if there is any way to configure it back into a hard drive where you can place it on the top and not need a cable.


Can conversations be clicked through?

Conversations in Skyward Sword can take... a while. The text is slow to appear, and it seems you have to wait for _all_ of it to appear. It literally makes me grind my teeth in rage when I accidently talk to the same character a second time, and have to wait through four or five text boxes for 30 seconds or more. Is there any way to hurry my interlocutors up, and keep my dentist happy?

What are the consequences of your decision on the plane in Deus Ex?

I was assigned to kill an NSF leader on a plane in LaGuardia National Airport, but Paul has been urging me to side _with_ the NSF. My murderous nano-aug superior is insisting that if I don't kill the guy, SHE will do so. It felt like a serious breaking point with major plot ramifications. On my first attempt, I died horribly. On my second attempt, I was able to kill Anna Navarre, and the NSF leader actually survived! I'd gone so far as to booby trap the plane with land mines, though, and I inadvertently set one off before I could talk to the guy. On all my subsequent attempts, Anna either killed the guy before I can kill her, or she wound up killing me herself. I finally gave up and just resumed playing from a file where both of them died in the altercation. Does the NSF leader have anything more to tell you if you save him from Anna? Does Gunther wind up killing him? What would have happened if I'd followed my superiors' orders and either killed him outright or let Anna kill him?


Change account in Hay Day

I am finding it near impossible to change accounts in Hay Day. Is it possible and if so, how do you do it? I started playing on my iPad, and leveled up. I downloaded Hay Day on my iPhone and synced it with my Facebook account and it loaded my existing game. I now want to start over and play a totally independent game on my iPhone and leave my iPad playing its existing leveled up game. I tried disconnecting my Facebook from the settings. I logged out of the game center. I made a new game center account, I made a new Facebook account, I did every combination of the two of these things and no matter what I do every time I log into Hay Day it loads my existing game. It even loads my existing iPad game when I'm logged OUT of Facebook, AND logged OUT of Game Center, deleted the game, re-installed the game and opened it (while logged out of everything) and it is still _somehow_ finding and loading my existing iPad game. what gives?


Free Timsh in The Brigmore Witches?

In _The Knife of Dunwall_ , I decided to have Barrister Arnold Timsh arrested (the dastard had it coming). Now, I'm in Coldridge Prison and Timsh is asking me to get him out, telling me that this is the chance of my life. Although I'm financially self-sufficient, I guess a little extra coin couldn't hurt, but I don't really trust Timsh to uphold his end of the bargain, and I'm worried about my reputation too; also, it would be pointless to free him, if he's just going to get himself killed by the guards. What are the consequences of freeing Timsh? Will I have to expect retaliation from his niece, Thalia? What about Wiles Roland?   Will Timsh ever find out it was me who sent him there in the first place?


How can I "check in" at a hotspot?

Watch Dogs has the ability to "check in" at various locations throughout the game, which provides perks and some online integration. The first of such locations that I've arrived at is the Lighthouse. I was greeted with a tutorial that discusses using the app to check in at these hotspots but when I try and use the app on my phone to check in at the lighthouse I end up caught up in a bunch of screens detailing the current mayor of the lighthouse along with a bunch of other options that say I have to check in first. I have tried setting waypoints using the GPS to the check in location but since I'm on the island with the lighthouse on it these are doing absolutely nothing. How can I "check in" at a hotspot? What am I missing?


Questions about streaming videos on Xbox 360

I got an Xbox 360 with 250Gb harddrive and I have some questions.   1. I been trying to stream some movies from my computer to my Xbox 360 with Windows Media Center. I noticed that the quality is better when I burn them to a DVD and play them through my DVD player. How can I improve the quality? I have an HDMI cable hooked up.   2. When I play these streamed videos they are always in a zoom mode (Zoom 1). Is it possible to disable zoom?   3. If I am streaming from my computer to my Xbox 360 (so it is connecting via wi-fi to my router). Does it use internet bandwidth? I would think not since everything is local.   4. How can I copy files from my PC over to my Xbox 360? I tried to put them on a USB key but I can't figure out how to copy them over to my harddrive.


When is it appropriate to buy gunships as BIOS?

BIOS have a long research period (10 minutes per item). This means that if they do not get gunships, they may have a hard time even surviving for the time that it takes to get a tech base and real tech up. However, getting a gunship will delay real tech even further while only covering you and your mining for circa 20 minutes (the time for the enemy team to get adv tech online). What are factions matchups or situations that make buying gunships as BIOS a good idea?

How can I take advantage of meeting myself?

In Millennia Altered Destinies it's possible to run into an alternate version of yourself. When communicating with the other you's vessel, it's possible to transmit a numeric code. I've played this game many times but have never been able to figure out what to do in this situation. The developers of the game (Take 2 Interactive) have this to say about the situation: > You are in the fifth dimension. An anomaly of time travel is that on rare > occasions, you will actually meet another version of yourself that is > traveling from another time, outside the material plane. When you encounter > this phenomenon you can use it to your advantage, if you are very clever. > There is some information that we can't bring ourselves to divulge to > anyone. I'm hoping to be very clever by asking this question here and getting the answer that way, not knowing what to do here has been bugging me for the past 15 years.


Do the blue birds in Angry Birds speak French?

When you launch them, the blue birds say something that sounds very much like _Salut les amis!_ in French ( _Hello friends!_ ). Furthermore, other bird screams sound like _Oui!_ ( _Yes!_ ), though this is arguably more of a coincidence. I wonder if the developers at Rovio started from samples in French and modified their pitch in order to use them in the game. Can anyone (in)validate that?


Configuration gets reset, and cannot find BIOS in ePSXe

I downloaded the PlayStation emulator, ePSXe and it worked fine last night. When I attempted to start a game today, it says it is not configured despite the fact the nothing was changed. When I attempt to reconfigure it using the wizard, it states that it cannot find the BIOS in the ePSXe folder even though it is still there and worked previously. I also noticed (in the video section of the config menu) that the plugin was no longer selected, so I would not be surprised if this was also not being detected anymore. Is there a solution to this problem?


What exactly does Fortify Health/Magicka/Stamina increase?

I am unsure of how this works, does the effect increase both the _maximum_ and _current_ resource or just the _maximum_? For example if I have a max health of 200 and I am currently at 100 health, I drink a potion that does Fortify Health 25 points for some amount of time. Does my _current_ health increase to 125 along with my _maximum_ health increasing to 225?


What causes the trade window to be grayed out in the Trading Post in the game Banished?

I started playing Banished today, and I'm having problems with the Trading Post. The last two ships to come to the Trading Post, I have been unable to trade with. The ship currently at my dock has cattle for sale, and I have over 3000 food (corn, peppers, and fish) available to barter. For some reason, the right hand side of the trade window is grayed out. My desired inventory matches my inventory on hand, so I know its not that. At first, I blamed my workers, but even after adding more workers, I can't get the right side of the trade window to enable. ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/TOmjh.png) I have checked the in game help system, as well as the wiki, but I've not been able to find an answer. Any ideas what is going on with my trading post?


What is so good about Protoss Motherships?

Ways to prevent overheating on XBOX 360?

My XBOX 360 sometimes freezes because it gets overheated. Mainly because I don't have a lot of ventilation in my room. So I was thinking about buying a fan to cool it down. After searching a little on Amazon I found a couple of them, but in the reviews people said that these fans didn't help at all, their problem only got worse. Any sugestion on how I can cool down the XBOX without having to put a fan in front of the console?


How can I get the tourism bonus for having the same religion as another civilization?

According to the Civ5 wiki, your civilization gains a 25% (40% with Aesthetics) bonus to tourism to other nations that share the same "majority religion". **What does it mean for two civilizations to share a majority religion?** Since each city within a civilization can have a different religion, I'm not sure what this entails.


The Eye of Cthulhu disappeared after I reloaded the game. Is there a way to get it back?

I was playing Terraria earlier, having just reached the Hell layer (~3000ft.) and after I killed one of those annoying imps, I got a message stating: > You feel an evil presence is watching you. I read on the official Terraria Online forums that it means the Eye of Cthulhu is about to spawn at the surface. Unfortunately, after receiving the message, I saved the game and quit to look online for that message means (while still in Hell). When I reloaded the game and spawned at the surface, during night- time, Cthulhu wasn't there. Is there any way to get the Eye back?


StarCraft 2 Glossary of Terms

I see a lot of words flying about when talking about StarCraft 2 strategies. Things like Rush, Timing, Contain, Push, 6Pool, Cheese... It would be quite helpful to have a list of the accepted vocabulary in one place. What are the common terms used when talking about StarCraft 2 strategies and playstyles, and what do they mean? Here are a compilation of the answers:   * **Build Order** : A rough plan for which structures and units to get in the early part of a game. Build order's seldom extend past engagement with the enemy, but will sometimes account for likely transitions later in the gam.   * **Economy** : The units, structures and positioning used for gathering Minerals/Vespene Gas (or any other resource in other RTSes)   * **Macro** : The process of continually producing offensive units, or the unit producing structures that allow you to make those units.    * **Micro** : The process of precisely controlling the units of an attack force to do the most damage possible. For instance, this could be focus firing on high value units in the opposing army, or moving ranged units just out of range of melee units.   * **Unit Composition** : the different types of attack units in an army. An army is said to have good unit composition if the different types of units synergise well together, each one covering the shortcomings of the other.   * **Transition** or **Tech Switch** : changing the unit composition of your army to adapt to your opponent's weaknesses.   * **Map control** : Being in a position strategically where you are able to move your units and get view of a larger area of the map than your opponent. Having Map control is advantageous because it allows you respond to enemy troop movements before they reach your vulnerabilities, and deny your opponent's expansions while having free access to them yourself.   * **Meatball** : Marine Marauder Medivacs combination   * **Tier** : Units in which level of tech   * **Going** Tech: going for tier 1.5 - 2 - 3 units   * **Rax** : Short for barracks an early Terran structure for producing infantry   * **Gate** : Short for Gateway or Warpgate, and early Protoss unit producing structure   * **Pool** : Short for Spawning Pool, the building required for Zerg to build Zerglings   * **Ovi** : Short for Overlord, a unit which supplies Zerg Acronyms:   * **gl** : "Good Luck"   * **hf** : "Have Fun"   * **gg** : "Good Game". This is the usual way to concede defeat.   * **mmm** : See Meatball above   * **T** : Terran   * **Z** : Zerg   * **P** : Protoss


Where can I find "casts" of BroodWar games?

I really enjoy watching Starcraft 2 battles, and I'm currently playing Starcraft I. Is there a place where I can find good casts of Starcraft/Broodwar games? **Note:** This is not about Starcraft 2, it is about the 1998 game.


Which raid instance has the most gear that I need?

I use Rawr and maxdps to figure out which drops I can benefit from but it's a very tedious and manual process. Sometimes I join a raid without knowing whether I'm likely to get any drops that I need. Are there any tools which can help answer the question which raid instance I should focus on to improve my gear?


Why did my Excalibur go all explodey on me?

So I was a lawful human Valkyrie...just picked up Excalibur a few floors prior, and had started working through the Gnomish Mines. I hadn't done anything to anger Tyr, I was simply cutting away some rock in the mines to make it easier to get between staircases. I was stressed from just picking up some dwarvish gear, and all of a sudden I was blasted by Excalibur when I equipped it. What what what happened?


How to control a Helicopter

I wany to know if some of you, pro gamers :D, know how to train controlling an helicopter. This because I love Battlefield P4F, but I still can't control an heli as I would wish. So, is there any free simulator (don't say FlightGear please) so that I can train, or is there any tutorials teaching the techniques? Also, I can't use a joystick. Thanks, Scorch


How far should I increase Chop, Mine and Take in Etrian Odyssey?

Skill-points are very limited in Etrian Odyssey and I have to think hard, in which skills I should invest. Chop, Mine and Take have no influence on fights, but they can provide some material, that I don't get in another way (at least on the same level). How much should I invest in these skills?


Does the corruption ability of Corrupters stack? In other words, if I corrupt a battlecruiser once, it takes an extra 20% damage. If i corrupt it again,does it then take 20% more damage? I can't seem to find a reference anywhere for this. In brood war, it was obvious that devourer's spores did stack, because the unit portrait for the victim unit would tell you how many spores were on it.


Can you downgrade Minecraft Pocket Edition?

I have Minecraft Pi version on my Raspberry Pi and I wanted to be able to play with people on MC:PE. However, when I go to connect the device to the Pi's server it says `Outdated Server!` I _know_ that you can connect MC:PE and MC:Pi, they are both based off MC:PE code and I've read all over the place of people doing it! However, my PE version is 0.8 and that isn't compatible with MC:Pi 0.11, whereas MC:PE version 0.6 is. My question is, is there a way to downgrade the MC:PE version without messing up worlds and being able to revert back to MC:PE 0.8 after playing with my Pi? I figured this question would be more on-topic here than Raspberry Pi SE because it is an issue with MC:PE as opposed to the RPi.


How can I make my horse less aggressive?

Every time I encounter a wolf or a bandit, my horse insists on joining the fray. I would much prefer if the horse just stayed out of it unless attacked, and/or ran away (and came back later). Is there a way I can do this?


How can I connect a 5 1/4" floppy drive to my modern PC?

I have a small collection of 5 1/4" floppy disks (early Sierra games) that I am trying to read. How can I connect a drive that accepts these disks to my PC. This has been moved over to Super User


How can I force Steam to install Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 from disk, NOT from web?

I purchased Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 as a retail disk, and when I install it from disk, Steam is attempting to download the complete game from the internet. I've 512 kbits/s (64 kBps) network, so it will take me nearly 64 hours to download (1 week to download assuming 9 hours a day). I've already gone through this support article which suggests to install using the Run command, and I've also tried using the 'restore game' workaround, but I am afraid neither of them worked for me. So how can I force Steam to install from the disk?


What happens when Lee Sin uses Resonating Strike on a Vlad using Sanguine Pool?

Basically, here's the situation: Lee Sin uses Sonic Wave, hitting Vlad. Vlad pools to get away. Can Lee Sin use Resonating Strike?


What's the best tactics to avoid zombies in DayZ?

I crawl, crouch and whatnot to try and avoid zombies. Usually I'm alright but once a zombie detect me I always manage to pull them with me forever until I am so tired that they catch up and eat me. What should I do to avoid this annoying recurrent occurence? I've heard that zombies are less frequent in the forest, but I'm not sure. Perhaps someone with more knowledge could enlighten me on that as well.


In Dark Souls, does Havel's set lose durability, and, if yes, can it be repaired?

I've noticed that the description for Havel's set items mention that they are carved from stone. Stone and crystal items can't be repaired once they lose durability, however they are highly resilient to make up for that. I noticed that Havel's armor has 900 durablity, however that durability has not gone down. Are there certain conditions for it to lose durability, i.e. certain attacks (like Quelaag's lava spewing attack), or is it just that the armor is so resilient I have yet to notice even 1 point drop in durability? If it does lose durability, can the armor be repaired? Havel's set is unique and arguably one of the best, if not the best, armor in the game (given high enough stamina to use effectively). The only caveat I could think of is the possibility that it has a finite lifetime.


What happens when you deposit all collectibles?

On the inventory screen, if you click the gear icon, and then "Deposit All Collectibles", some stuff from your inventory will disappear. I think the idea is that it will automatically send such items to your bank without having to make a trip there. Is this true? What happens if your bank is full? I've been depositing copper ore this way, and now that I've finally had a chance to visit the bank, I don't see any copper ore there. Is it gone forever?


How do you complete the Team Fortress 2 "Line Them Up" challenge?

I know this challenge must be solvable, but it seems impossible to me at this moment, since no matter what I do, it takes 3 actions to defeat the first three wizards (with the Heavy, or with the Medic boosting the Demoman) and 3 actions to defeat the last three wizards (by moving the Heavy over and attacking twice). How do you complete this challenge? ![Line Them Up](http://i.stack.imgur.com/kueQi.jpg)


What do the numbers in Warhammer 40.000 Carnage mean

I installed Warhammer 40k Carnage the other day and enjoyed it quite a bit. But after a while I wanted to know how to maximize my score and get three stars everywhere, the first time. Of course that means get damaged as little as possible, as fast as possible, with a combo as high as possible. So I killed everything I saw, without getting hit myself (afaik) and as fast as possible. But still the circles in the scoring-review-part-thingy weren't full, some not even close to. (I added a picture in case it wasn't clear. For superduperclarity I even made a teal box around the scores/circles) So, the numbers Mason, what do they mean? And the circles, is getting them full a priority or even possible? And how? ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/26txa.jpg)


What does snuggling the pig do?

In the farm, there is a pig which I have the option of snuggling. Every time I do so, it just knocks me down and runs off into the woods. Is this all that ever happens? I just want to be friends.


What is a good choice of Pistol as a Sniper?

I am playing Volt and recently replaced my starting melee and rifle with Dual Ether and Snipetron. What would be a good choice for Pistol to complement my choice of Rifle/Melee weapon?


What happens to Mephalis after you defeat Solaris and blow out its flame?

Today, my brother was playing Sonic, and he beat it. At the end, it says what happens to everybody but Mephalis. Where did he go?


What is the Shovel Knight shaped hole in King Knight's stage for?

In King Knight's stage, there is a room with a lava bucket that tries to prevent you from crossing a gap with moving platforms spanning the aforementioned pit. On the other side of this obstacle is, what appears to be, a Shovel Knight shaped hole and I don't know what to do with it. I tried pressing `Up`,`E`,`Space` and every other key I could that that might interact with it but to no avail. Is it merely decorative? I mean the obstacle preventing you from getting to this hole isn't impossible, but it **is** a little unrewarding if this thing doesn't serve a purpose. ![Shovel Knight shaped hole](http://i.stack.imgur.com/vdh72.png)


Is tile spawning under fast movement bugged?

I am aware of 2048's spawning rules:   spawn 2 in random empty spot 90% of the time   spawn 4 in random empty spot 10% of the time I have noticed it's possible to avoid such a situation by pressing up and then down in quick succession causing both tiles to spawn above the rest. Is this intended behavior? As this question is implementation specific, I'm playing this version in my computer and this version on my iPhone. This occurs in both versions. Clarification (underscore "_" denotes an empty tile): What I expect:               2 4 2 _       4 2 _ _       8 _ _ _       2 _ _ _        Press right (4 spawned)               _ 2 4 2       _ _ 4 2       _ _ _ 8       4 _ _ 2        Press left (2 spawned)               2 4 2 _       4 2 _ _       8 _ _ 2       4 2 _ _        What I observed if keys are pressed fast enough:               2 4 2 _       4 2 _ _       8 _ _ _       2 _ _ _        Press right (nothing spawns)               _ 2 4 2       _ _ 4 2       _ _ _ 8       _ _ _ 2        Press left fast enough (two tiles spawn)               2 4 2 _       4 2 _ _       8 _ _ 4       2 _ _ 2


How do I get orbs?

There is an upgrade for my lantern that would be really useful to me, but it requires orbs to pay for it, and I have yet to find any. How do I get them? Will I just discover them underground like I have the rest of the gems? Or do I have to do something special for them?


Can someone give me a reference to a door in Morrowind?

This has bothered me for years and it's time I got an answer. Back when I used to play Morrowind I stumbled on a large stone door somewhere in the wild (mountainous/hilly region if I remember correctly). When I tried to enter it, it gave me a riddle or message and I was unable to get in. What door was this? How did other players get in? What was beyond the door? Can someone link me a reference to it?


Do unnecessary changes cause ship malfunction?

In Spaceteam, when a session is over, there are credits with data, including the number of unnecessary changes made. I feel that it is the case, but I am not sure: do unnecessary changes cause the ship to malfunction more?


Can my ranged unit melee attack if I want it to?

While playing Civilization with my friends tonight, one of them asked me: "Can my archer physically attack if I want him to?" meaning, of course: Ranged units default to attacking using their ranged attack. Do they have a normal, melee attack? Can I force them to use it?


Why didn't I earn credits on replay of Starcraft 2 mission?

I played Liberation Day and The Outlaws on brutal difficulty and completed the bonus objectives to get a total of 100,000 credits. Then I completed Zero Hour on brutal but did not complete the bonus mission, so I did not get any credits. I replayed Zero Hour on casual difficulty and completed the bonus objectives. The game ended and told me I had earned 55,000 credits on the summary screen however back on Horner's Battle Cruiser, it says I still only have 100,000 credits. Why do I not have 155,000 credits now?


What triggers disasters in SimCity?

In playing SimCity, I seem to have fewer "random" disasters (Tornadoes, Earthquakes, Meteors, Big Lizards, etc...) than my friends. This makes me think that they must not be truly random, but that there is some sort of trigger. Are there specific triggers for each disaster? Or are there certain statistics that increase the likelihood of a given disaster? Or is it truly random and I am just looking for patterns where none exist?


How do I see how much Eridium I have?

My HUD no longer displays my total Eridium whenever I pick some up. I can't seem to find any total in my inventory, either. Am I missing something, or is visiting the Black Market in Sanctuary the only way I can see my current Eridium total?


Does NG+ and further boost item discovery rate?

So I have been trying to get Titanite Slabs. In effort to do this at the king's passage. I have been tossing bonefire ascetics into the bonfire there. It got to the point where the enemies half kill me every hit and I have not gotten a single Titanite slab yet. Does increasing the ng+ boost item discovery?


What is the item Professor Sycamore is referring to after you meet him in Couriway Town?

After you fight Professor Sycamore in Couriway Town he says there is an item hidden in the town. Of course there are several but looking at Bulbapedia none of the items listed seem especially notable besides the Gyaradosite which you can't get until after you beat the Elite 4 anyway (as far as I have heard). So does anybody know which one is Sycamore's 'special' present?


How many weapon fragments do I receive from killing an alien?

I want to maximize the number of weapon fragments I salvage, but sometimes bad dudes just need to be blown up to save my team. If there are differences in the amount of fragments I can salvage from different enemies or different weapon types, I can use that information to determine which enemies to blow to smithereens, and which to kill with normal weapons fire. For each enemy I kill with normal weapons fire, what determines the amount of weapon fragments I receive at the end of the mission?   * Is it just a set number of fragments per weapon?    * Does it change depending on the enemy type or their weapon type?   * Do robotic aliens with built-in weapons still provide weapon fragments, or do I only get them from enemies with hand-held weapons?


How do I retrieve items under "The Warrior" 's skin?

On one of my accounts, I killed "The Warrior". As usual, there was a little cinematic and "The Warrior" blew up as usual, leaving is skin behind. However, under that massive hunk of skin, I found a legendary weapon. Namely, the Liquid Pitchfork. I tried everything I knew:   * I attempted to crawl under the skin   * I tried to stand right on top of the item    * Killed Handsome Jack in hopes that "The Warrior's" body will disappear So, is there a way to retrieve an item underneath "The Warrior's" skin? Or is it impossible?


What should I look for when setting up an outpost?

What should I look for when setting up an outpost in _State of Decay_? What buildings are best and what are all of the benefits (other than a storage locker)? An outpost is a building used as a satellite by the survivors, not part of the main base.


Which is a better early game choice for a Stealth/Nonlethal character, Agility or Possession?

My first time through Dishonored, I'm playing the way I played Deus Ex - silent and compassionate. I've got a couple runes and I've just met Granny Rags, so I'm not very far into the game at all. I'm trying to figure out where best to allocate my points to enable a sneaky playstyle. Things like Shadow Kill and Bloodthirsty are useless to me, because if I'm playing properly, I should never be killing anyone. I know that in most Deus Ex-likes, there's a heavily-guarded path that requires nothing but murder to get through, and a lightly-guarded path that requires certain abilities to get through. This is the path I plan to take through the game. Reading the descriptions of the various powers, it seems that Agility would be helpful for the greater jump height, but Possession would be helpful to crawl through small spaces as a rat...but I don't know how many small places there will be versus how many high places. Also, Possession II would allow me to walk enemies into lonely areas so that I could dispatch them more easily...but I don't know if I'm going to have enough runes and mana to make that strategy viable anytime soon. **In the early game, which is more useful to a stealth-based character, the extra jump height granted by Agility or the ability to travel through small spaces and relocate enemies granted by Possession?**


Missing one unlockable item on Level 1-3 "Flounder's Jump & Jive"

Missing ONE item on the level "Flounder's Jump & Jive". This item appears between "Muscle Man Head" and "Broken Cage Bars" in the Goodies and Prizes page. I have played the level several times over trying to find this item but im lost. What is it and where is it?


How should I be getting hold of my first gun?

I am really struggling in getting my first gun in DayZ for a few reasons.   * It is hard to survive without a weapon, your only option when spotted by a zombie, is to run and hide. This usually attracts attention and results in you dying through other players, or more zombies.   * I don't know where to look. Lots of buildings don't even have doors and buildings are always zombie hot spots.   * Going into cities is a big nono because of the bandit density. What techniques should I be using and where should I be looking to find a weapon to defend myself with?


Is a monster's stats static, or is it based on some random value?

I wasn't really paying attention until last night when I started Inferno, and I noticed the zombies outside of town had health that ranged from 60,000 to 85,000, with no two hp bars being the same amount (based on about 20 zombies) This got me wondering, is a monster's stats randomized within a range based on level?


Can't get any quests from Skyrim innkeepers except for Rising at Dawn

I trying to find some quests to do, so I asked an innkeeper for rumors and I got Rising at Dawn. The trouble is, this is the quest that would cure my vampirism, and I don't want to do that. I figure that if I complete the quest anyways, I could still become a vampire again and then maybe I could get some new quests, but what if I get Rising Dawn again? I'd have to do it all over. Am I stuck with this, or have the innkeepers simply run out of quests for me?


Wii and S-Video results in black white window

I've bought a third party Wii S-Video + Composite connection cable for my european black Wii (PAL / Wii Sports Resort + Wii Motion Plus edition). The connection of S-Video and my tv tuner card results in the following: ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/8P8PW.png) which transforms to: ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/8Bm1Z.png) and back... The Wii "Screen" menu states that 480i is selected as output mode. My tv tuner card works perfectly with Xbox 360 S-video output when set as PAL 60. Edit: I should also mention, that I've read that the european PAL Wii isn't capable of S-Video. Even though, there are (third party) adapters availabe in the european market. But the screens attached show that there is something like a S-video signal, which is more than "not capable with S-video".

How does Kevlar and Helmet Gear protect you?

In _Counter-Strike: Global Offensive_ , you can buy _Kevlar and Helmet_ gear for $1000. This gear will protect you from enemy attacks. When you equip it, the number "100" appears next to your health: This is obviously an indicator of the integrity of your armor. ![The armor bar](http://i.stack.imgur.com/X3JGU.jpg) Over time, as you are hit by enemies, your gear will "wear out." The number (that indicates gear integrity) will be reduced every time you are hit, along with your health. How does armor protect you? If my armor's integrity value is, say, 6, will it protect me just as much as armor with an integrity value of 100? Or does the integrity value of the armor change how much the armor protects you?


Are same-sex marriages allowed?

If I started a new game as a woman would I be able to marry another woman? If not, is there a way (possibly using the console) to have a same-sex marriage?


Does mission order-of-completion matter?

I've started a new game of splinter cell blacklist, and so far only completed the first 2 campaign missions. (Intro + Save Andriy) What I'm wondering is, should I be completing all option missions + all character conversations in between each campaign mission. Aside from not earning the extra cash, will I miss out on anything in the storyline, that I can't get back to if I don't complete them as they're available. Or can I just wait til the end.


To Town Portal or Not to Town Portal?

In DOTA 2, I find it important to be in my lane to get as much XP as I can in the begining of the game. But it happens, that I get ganked early on now and then. Often due to no warning from the other lanes. **Should I use a Town Portal scroll to get back into my lane, or would the gold spend in this scroll just be a waste - or should I simply walk back into the lane and spare the gold?** My thoughts on this, is wether its useless to Town Portal back due to such litle XP loss - or wether its highly important to get back into the lane asap.


The Terraria endgame, what is left to do?

I wear a full set of molten armor.   I use Muramasa, Blue Moon and a Pheonix Blaster as weapons.   I defeated the Eye of Cthulhu, the Eater of World and Skeletron.   I killed a goblin army without ever being in any real danger.   I explored the Dungeon, the Underground Jungle and the Underworld. What is there left to do?   * What is there left to kill that might still provide a challenge?    * What places are there left to explore that still contain some secrets?   * What ludicrous buildings or contraptions are still to be to build?


Are LP gains capped?

Everyone knows that you start with 0 points in a division and you gain or lose more LP if your MMR is higher or lower than your current division. Now I know it is possible to skip divisions, but if your mmr is really high, could you gain lets say +50 or even go directly to a promotion after just one win (would be +100)? Or is the LP gain capped at some point and you just skip let's say 2 divisions or something like that after a won promotion?


Give user items on first spawn on Bukkit server

I have a bukkit server running on a Raspberry Pi 512MB (personal project for the heck of it) and I thought I'd try inviting some friends (~2/3 can't go over 4 players because of RAM) just for testing. My problem/question is, does anyone know of a way (preferably not a mod, or a _very_ light one) that I can set up a spawn chest that only _they_ and the Op can access? I would want the stuff in it like a regular spawn chest (Axe, Wood, Sticks, Books explaining the site, etc.) Or, alternatively, set it up so the players spawn _again_ , first time only) in with the books already in their inventory. I think the first is cooler, but either works.


Is there a mod for X3TC to play the old games in the new graphics?

The blog brought my attention to X3: Terran Conflict. Since I haven't played the predecessors but I'd like to know the whole story I wonder if there is a possibility to play them with X3TC's graphic engine instead of the rather ... nostalgic ... look of the original?


Game Center achievements for Cat Physics

Since a major update a few days ago, Cat Physics (and other Donut Games games like Cave Bowling) supported Game Center features and achievements. When I look at my Game Center account now, I can see I've earned 11 out of 12 achievements, but if I take a look at the list, there are only 11 achievements listed (and I've gotten all of them) - nothing I haven't earned and nothing that is in progress. The achievements I've earned:   * 2500 points   * 15000 points   * 50000 points   * Completed 10   * Completed 40   * Completed 90   * Three-starred 10   * Three-starred 50   * Fifty Buttons   * Fifty slingshots   * Fifty teleporters What's the missing achievement and why isn't it listed in Game Center?


why won't my minecraft password reset email come through?

I keep trying to get the mojang/minecraft password resest email to come but it never does. I've done it milions of times now and it's been two days but it still hasn't come through. I know I've done the email right and everything.


I live in a field, literally miles away from anywhere. There are some quantities of XM nearby and I have completely filled up my XM bar, but I have walked all around my village and there are no portals anywhere near here. Does this mean that I am unable to play Ingress, since I'm not going to be able to level up? What can I do if there are no portals near me in Ingress?


Is it possible to switch sides in Ingress?

I chose to play as Enlightened, but it appears that nearly all of the portals in a nearby city are already controlled by Enlightened. In order to get experience I need to hack enemy portals, not friendly ones. Due to this, I was wondering if it is possible to switch sides in Ingress, from Enlightened to Resistance and vice versa? If it is possible, are there any side effects to doing so?


Team strategies and rotations for premade 5v5 games

Some friends and me compete in 5v5 tournaments and the 5v5 ranked ladder. We're all decent laners, but when it comes to mid / late game, we're kinda screwed by the lack of strategies and tactics to defeat the enemy team. That's why I'm asking about overall strategies and good ways to rotate after the laning phase. What are good ways to: **Win against a push combo** Let's assume, enemy team has good pushers (Cait, Ziggs) and every siege is in vain, since the minions always never reach the enemy tower? How do we rotate smart, to gain an advantage? **Turn around when the enemy team has the momentum** Enemy team had a slight advantage in laning and is now pushing all lanes hard, maybe even with a global Ult split pusher like Shen. How do we react to this? **Win with a Poke combo** Obviously we try to siege and when we got them low, we can engage. Does this mean, we should pick a good dive champ, since we eventually want to do that? These are just some scenarios I could think about. Maybe there is also an online resource with overall strategies / guides how to make a good teamcomp according to the strategy we want to play?


Can I install and run Titanfall without a disc?

I plan on buying Titanfall, but I'm not too keen on the humongous download size. If I were to buy the PC disc of the game, could I install the game and run it without a disc?

Ever since the weekly drop limits went into place, I only get a few items a week. What is the exact time each week the drop count resets?


Why can't I link any portals in ingress?

I took over an enemy portal by destroying all their resonators. Then I deployed 7 of my own resonators, upgrading 3 of them to level 2, but it won't let me upgrade anymore even though I have more level 2 resonators. However, it won't let me deploy the 8th resonator, instead there's a link button, but whenever I click it, it says no linkable portals found. There's another couple portals owned by my faction just 163m and 200m away that I have keys for, but if I click on it on the map, the link button is greyed out. Why can't I deploy that last resonator, upgrade more resonators to level 2, or link to anything nearby.


Purpose of SMB Warp Zones?

What was Nintendo's intention of adding the Warp Zones into the original Super Mario Brothers? Was it meant to be an easter egg for players to find? Was it used by the programmers while debugging?


What builds are the pro Zerg players using in StarCraft?

I'm trying to be a better Zerg player. What are the pros doing for openings? (this is specifically for the original StarCraft)


What is the effective range of 'close enough'?

What is the effective range that close enough uses to determine if a bullet will ricochet in that direction? Is it more beneficial to try to aim at the ground near the target or does it not matter where I aim as long as the bullet hits a wall of some kind? If there is only one enemy in the area and they're very far away (outside of mini-map radius), will my shots still have a chance to hit them via ricochet? I'm mostly concerned about the annoying buzzards and repair drones that like to make wide circles.


Is it possible to use my PS Vita as additional PS3 controller?

As the title states: can I register my PS vita as an additional controller to an PS3 system? I want to play split-screen games without buying a new controller. I've already searched around the web. All I found were some news entries that stated some people managed to get this to work, but they did not mention _how_ this can be achieved. I've also tried to connect to the PS3 system using remote play and add the other controllers, but this did not work either, because the screen just says that my Vita is connected using remote play. "Cross Play" is also not what I am looking for. I just want to use my Vita like a traditional controller. So is this possible? **Edit:** Just to make some things clear: I know about the features "Remote Play" and "Cross Play", but they are **not** what I am looking for, since they are all serving different purposes.


Official mutations on left 4 dead 2

I just bought Left 4 Dead 2, and I noticed there's a "mutation" (mod) to play, but only one per week (I think it's per week). Is there a way to play past official mutations, or is it intended for only one to be available at the same time?


How do I avoid tank abuses?

As time passes by, tanks are becoming more and more of an annoyance **for me** in GTAV Online. Before the last update, people in tanks at least paid for my car insurance, now I'm driving around, minding my own business when **BAM** , my adder gets blown to pieces and I'm the one to pay 12,5k for its insurance. Being a level 52, I'm still unable to reach the right guns for the job, so I was wondering: How do I get rid of tank with grenades and sticky bombs being my most disruptive devices?


Do enemies ever open doors?

I've seen mutons of all kinds climb ladders. I've never see any other aliens do that. I have also yet to see an alien open a door of any kind. Do aliens open doors? If they don't, then that changes the strategy needed to deal with them.


Do I get to keep medals/fruit if I quit out of a level?

I'm going to need to do some backtracking to get my Rainbow medals. If I get a medal and quit out of a level do I get to keep that medal or will I keep it? I know I get a "you'll lose progress" message but different games interpret "lose progress" differently so I don't really know if I'll still have that medal unlocked (and I haven't been brave enough to try it).


Can you breed two emerald dragons?

I've got an emerald dragon and am now waiting for a second one to come. I don't really care for the gems so I wonder whether I should display the second one as egg or hatch it and breed the third one from two previous ones.

How is Sword of the Stars: Gold Edition DLC different from the "regular" one?

In the spirit of this question and in view of the current Humble Weekly Bundle:   * **Does the Gold edition change the game forever?** Is it rather an option at launch or in the settings screen? I know Steam doesn't normally allow you to 'hide' the fact you have DLC purchased for a game.   * **How does the difficulty change?** Is the game with the DLC objectively harder, easier or just "randomer" than the "vanilla" game is? Is it meant to be a "new-game-plus" content pack for the players who've seen everything from the game?


Download CS:GO server without redownloading entire game

I'm trying to setup a home CS:GO server, but I want to do it without redownloading the entire game. I'm using Steamcmd to download the server and I've had a look at the files which it is downloading, they appear to be exactly the same as CS:GO which I already have installed. Is there anyway I can copy my current installation over so it can only download the files it needs for the dedicated server? My internet isn't very fast so letting it download will take a very long time.

Numbers will be much appreciated if possible.


Why does Viridian keep saying "...oh, I've already found this"?

How to understand the Hearts of Iron III interface?

I really enjoyed Europe Universalis III, and firstly thought of it as hard to understand -- until I saw HOI III and the following image. The horrendousness of the image is multiplied by 10 at least in the full game version. ![Screen 1](http://i.stack.imgur.com/Q16Oo.jpg) So, is there some user-friendly guide into HOI III other than standard tutorials roughly consisting of the same screens? Because I really want to become a Nazi-world king as soon as possible.

Minstrel Stat & Skill Build

I stopped playing Ragnarok Online about two years ago, and I was surprised to find that my Bard is still there when I tried to log in this morning. However, while exploring online about what's new, I found out that the the 3rd Jobs were already implemented! So, my question: Can anyone here suggest a stat & skill build for the minstrel, the Bard's 3rd Job? I'm not sure whether to go Damage-dealer or Full-support, and I'd like some input there too~

Ranked duo queue elo gain/loss?

Finally convinced a friend of mine to start ranked, we've been doing duo queue and have gone 5/0. Before this I had played some 20 odd games, starting at ~1.1k elo with her. Because it's her first games her elo gain is very large, she's climbed to 1369 while I'm still beneath 1200. How is it going to affect her and my own elo gain/loss when we queue together with such a gap?

Do all the special stickers in Paper Mario have a use in-game?

In Paper Mario: Sticker Star on 3DS, any time you find an object (scissors, baseball bat, radiator, etc) you can turn it into a special sticker. They are usually quite effective in battles, but several of them are required to progress through the game (e.g. the refrigerator cools down the volcano level). However, I have found many objects and made stickers of them, but haven't found a use for them yet. I am very near the end of the game now so I was wondering, does every special sticker have a use somewhere in the game?

Does target designation override what targets are normally valid for a missile/rocket?

If I'm flying a helicopter, there is an unlock that allows me to Laser- Designate ("Paint a Target") to be fired on by guided missiles. I am able to paint many targets, such as enemy armor, enemy equipment, and even enemy aircraft (planes/helicopters). My gunner is equipped with an Air-To-Ground Guided Missile. Normally, he can lock onto ground targets, such as armor and equipment, and fire the missile at them. However, he also is capable of locking his missile onto targets that others have painted. Is it possible in this case for the gunner to lock his missile onto planes/helicopters, even though he cannot normally lock these targets, assuming that they have been properly painted by myself in the piloting role?


Who can visit the island?

How can I use all four D-Pad secondary weapon slots in Darksiders?

I am currently playing Darksiders and the down slot in the D-Pad has somehow been assigned to the gauntlet. I want to assign the horn to the down slot in the D-pad but when I try to do it, the slot is simply blocked. I can't 'move' the item to the slot below, only to the top three slots shown. ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/OTkNR.png) This is what it looks like while playing. The gauntlet has fixed itself in the bottom slot and I cannot remove it. ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/73EGg.jpg) Is there a way to reset or clear these assignments?


When doesn't Cyclone Strike pull enemies in?

I've noticed that there are times when Cyclone Strike just doesn't do what it's supposed to.

What determines whether or not Cyclone Strike actually pulls enemies in?

Where are "10 Days of Swampy" and "Hearts and Crafts"?

What is Tyrael?

Spoilers ahoy, if you haven't yet cleared Act 1. Midway through Act 1, we learn that Tyrael _used to_ be an angel. Upon disagreeing with his fellow angelic brethren, he opted to fall to Sanctuary and aid the humans in fighting the demons that were poised to overrun it. Tyrael appears human - so much so that Leah doesn't believe him to be anything more than a man, until he shares his fall from heaven with her in a vision. Later in the game, he mentions that he is mortal, so presumably the gesture was not just symbolic, and he's not angelic anymore. However, humans in the Diablo series are descendants of the Nephalem - the offspring of angels and demons. It doesn't seem like Tyrael's tearing of his wings made him partially demon, so what is he exactly? Is there any precedent or explanation for this in the lore?


Are items shared in multiplayer?

In multiplayer games, are items visible only to a single person or can everyone see them? Let's say I'm playing with another guy and a shield drops. Can he also see, and possibly take, that shield?


thieves guild guests need help?

I'm trying to complete a major Thieves' Guild quest, which requires me to gain a certain level of influence in each area. This appears to be done by accepting and completing minor quests, or "jobs", from the other Thieves' Guild members. I've been able to achieve these objectives for all areas except Markarth. In all this time though, I've only gotten one job in Markarth. Is there something else I should be doing to gain influence there, or some way to steer the available jobs to Markarth, so that I can complete this quest?


Can monsters open doors or teleport via glyphs?

One of my current strategies in Dungeons of Dredmor is to close myself in a room in order to heal. Sometimes also I'll escape via the Satanic Displacement Glyph system. Thus far, I've not found any enemies that can get to me when I do one of these things, so I'm assuming when I do them that I'm safe from harm. However, I'm only on the second level of the dungeon. (This is the furthest I've ever gotten! wooo!) Will this strategy eventually fail me?


Formula for Alchemy Potions

Player 2 in Tony Hawk's Proving Ground keeps eating pavement in spite of attempts at grinding

Challenging a mate on the Nintendo Wii version of _Tony Hawk's Proving Ground_ it seems as though neither of us can work Player 2 to a level where they can grind when sliding onto railings, curbs or lips. The best they can is to skate up, flick the controller and smash their teeth into the obstacle. Player 1, however, has no trouble and not only can grind, but pull off the whole swag and gamut of tricks and flips. They're pretty much unlocked, and fully tapped which gives them an easier time to navigate a course. Head-to-heads such as Graffiti and HORSE are painfully one-sided. Even resorting to cheat codes like LOTSOFTRICKS does nothing for a level playing field. How do you unlock it so that Player 2 has a fighting chance to pull off simple tricks beyond ollies?


Mastery Page "Temporary Changes"

I thought of a situation that I'm not clear of for the mastery pages in League of Legends. I have multiple mastery pages, for different types of champs (one for tanks, one for mages, one for support, etc. etc.). But what I've noticed is depending on which champion I use of a certain type (one mage vs. another, etc) I may use different summoner spells, which means I occasionally might want to swap 1 mastery point in favor of a mastery supporting my summoner skill(s). It doesn't seem worth having a whole separate page based on each setup of summoner skills, especially since I then have to remember which one is "Mastery Page 4", for instance. You can edit your mastery pages once you're at the champion select screen, however. But in most cases I don't want to make permanent changes and save them, because I prefer the original page. Is there a way to change your mastery page for the CURRENT MATCH, such that it resets to the original on subsequent matches?


How does Halo Reach matchmaking work?

How does it work? How am I matched with other players? Is there a difference between the cooperative modes (ie firefight) and the competitive modes (ie slayer)? How can I improve who I'm matched against/with? Last time I seriously played Halo multiplayer was Halo 2. The system gave you a number that ranked your skill and it tried to match you with people of that number. One common jerky thing skilled players did was get themselves downranked back to a 1 and beat up on new players for a while. Now in Reach I have some sort of military insignia by my name. Is this similar to the ranking number in Halo 2? Does it mean the same thing as the rank number in Halo 2?

As the Commando, how can I effectively combat large groups of children?

When playing as the Commando in Risk of Rain, I always feel disadvantaged when I have the Sky Meadow as my second area. Particularly, I am having trouble handling large groups of children. While taking out a child or two, even of the tougher variants, is not a problem, these guys tend to spawn in rather large numbers. Seeing how they are very mobile and can dish out considerable amounts of damage, I am usually overwhelmed rather quickly. I usually keep large groups under control using Suppressive Fire, but their numbers tend to be large enough to have a few still coming after me even if I use that skill. Full Metal Jacket also doesn't help too much, as I need to fire off at least several of these to take most of the group down. My main problem is that I feel I do not have enough stopping power to handle this situation (a problem I do not have when facing this situation while playing as the Enforcer). What would be the best approach here?

Is it possible to upgrade the barbarian's stances?

The four original classes in Dungeon Defenders all have some type of stationary defence (towers, traps and auras). When levelling up, you can choose to improve defence health, damage, range and attack rate. Since the barbarian has stances instead of stationary defences, is it possible to upgrade those in a similar manner? Are the same four attributes (health, damage, range and attack rate) still applicable to stances?

Where is the fifteenth watermelon?

In Angry Birds Rio, I can't seem to find the fifteenth watermelon; where is it hiding? I'm on my iPhone if that helps. I've found the ones on the following levels: > 5-5, 5-11, 5-13, 5-14, 5-15, 6-2, 6-3, 6-4, 6-5, 6-6, 6-7, 6-9, 6-12, 6-14


My monkeys are escaping

In Zoo Tycoon you can't use chain link fences to hold apes and chimps. You can only use iron bars. However they still are escaping regardless of what type of fencing I use. (I stuck them in a dinosaur exhibit and they stayed). I need them for a Scenario and I don't want them to escape (I can't use dino exhibits in this scenario). Any ideas? What am I doing wrong?


Where's a good location for crafting?

I like to craft new items, since they tend to be more powerful than what I can find or buy. However, I've yet to find a good location to do my crafting. Ideally this place would have:   * A fast travel waypoint (so I can get in and out quickly)   * A stash (so I can dump unique or set items I've found)   * A blacksmith forge (so I can craft armor and weapons)   * An altar for sagecrafting (so I can craft gems to become part of my items) I'd also like to have close by:   * A shop (to sell unwanted items)   * An alchemy workbench (for restocking my potions) At the moment, I'm using the Canneroc area, which has the stash, alchemy bench, and sagecrafting altar in Gossamer End, and the nearby blacksmith forge location has a shopkeeper wandering around nearby. However, it's a bit inconvenient to zone two or three times to swap between the areas, and the sagecrafting altar is way down in the basement of the house. Are there any areas that meet these qualifications? If I need to run a quest line to unlock/upgrade a house, that's fine, but please make note of it.


Where can I find all of the secret areas in 'Inferno'?

I purchased DOOM 3 BFG edition, which includes The Ultimate DOOM, DOOM2, and DOOM3. I've played the first two episodes (Knee-Deep In The Dead and The Shores of Hell) already, and I'm starting out on the third episode - Inferno. Like each of the DOOM episodes, there are nine levels - eight normal levels and one secret level in each - I haven't had any success in finding the secret levels in any episode yet, although I managed to clear the first episode with 100% of all secrets and I'll be replaying the second episode soon to get 100% on this also, with any luck. The nine levels in 'Inferno' are;   * E3 M1: Hell Keep   * E3 M2: Slough of Despair   * E3 M3: Pandemonium   * E3 M4: House of Pain   * E3 M5: Unholy Cathedral   * E3 M6: Mt. Erebus   * E3 M7: Limbo   * E3 M8: Dis   * E3 M9: ???

Where can I find the GX12 Thermal Pipe

So this GX12 Thermal Pipe will supposedly make the Normandy safer under extreme combat conditions or something. I'm all for my ship being safer.

Is there any way to turn a DOS game that runs in DOSBOX into an .EXE file that will run effortlessly?

I want to burn a bunch of old DOS games that require a DOS emulator onto a disc for a gift for my sister. In DOSBOX, you need to mount the drive with the game on it and type the file name you want to open. I was wondering if there is any way to turn this process into an .EXE file that will automatically run the game. I don't want it to be some messy thing where she has to mount the folder with the games and all that. I just want her to be able to pop the disc in and have a list of .EXE files come up that will automate the process of mounting and running the game. Is there a way to write a program that will automate this? I've taken a Java programming course so I know some of the basics and have friends that can help me if I get stuck. I have a month to figure this out and I'm sure I can figure out how to use other programming languages. Thanks for any help.

How does barter work?

For some of the higher priced items I have seen a lot of people asking for a barter to purchase them as it reduces the prices of items - apparently enough to make a significant enough saving to still be able to add a tip into the price paid and still end up paying less than if you had bought it yourself. How does barter work and is it a beneficial skill to have?

Centurions like to chuck smoke grenades in my squad's face like punks. While it definitely puts a damper on my visibility, it does not seem to have an effect on the Centurions themselves. The only other subjects left to subject to smoke are my squad mates. **Can my squad mates see through smoke?** Does it affect them in any way, or do they ignore it and continue to suppress the enemies with their uncanny combat skills? If they can see through the smoke, _why don't I get a cool pair of smoke goggles too?_

How do I know when to help my teammates?

_Context:_ Yesterday I was playing soloqueue and I passed by one of my teammates fighting two enemies. I jumped in to help and because I didn't have any abilities on cooldown I happened to kill them both. He complained about me killstealing. Looking back on it he was probably right but that was not my intention, I was only trying to help. This leads to my question. How can I tell when I should help a teammate in a fight and when I should just let them deal with it themselves?


What mission(s) do I have to finish to access Murderlin's Temple (slaughter arena)?

In the 'Tiny Tina's Assault on Dragon Keep' DLC, one of my characters got the 'Find Murderlin's Temple' mission, which allows passage to the Murderlin's Temple slaughter arena.

I would like to go to Murderlin's Temple using another character of mine which doesn't have access yet. Which mission(s) do I have to finish to access Murderlin's Temple?

The **Barbarian** and **Series EV** hero classes are currently locked to me. However, unlike with the Crystals, it does not list the requirements needed to unlock them.

Is it possible to get the Zoltan Shield/Engi Med bot dispersal etc through random encounters?

Each ship you unlock has certain features which distinguish it from the others.

So say I'm using the Red-tail, can I "find" or "buy" the Zoltan shield as an augment?

Can I use the hard disk and the mount from a Slim PS3 in a Super Slim PS3?

I'm looking at grabbing a Super Slim PS3 soon, and since the 12 gig is cheaper than the 500 gig I have been looking at grabbing that and putting a hard drive in it. As far as I can figure replacing a hard drive is easy enough, except the new 12 gig model doesn't include the mount for a hard drive, it just has the capacity to take one. I have a friend with a dead Slim PS3 and I was wondering if I was to grab his hard drive would I be able to just throw that into a new Super Slim, reformat and be on my merry way? I'm more worried about the compatibility of the mount than the hard drive itself. Thanks!
