Can I play WoW with missing expansions?

My PC is really old, I played WoW with 2 expansions; TBC and WotLK, and on low graphics settings. It was running fine but now with Cata and Mist I think the game has higher sys req. So my question is can I play WoW with TBC WotLK without Cata and Mist and is it going to be playable like it used to be when I played long ago or is it going to be with higher system requirements for video card and RAM? Thanks in advance.


Do you avoid the damage if you kill a turret right before its missile hits you?

This has happened to me various times but its kinda fuzzy as I can't find anything official on it. Lets say you tank a turret with a teammate so you think you're gonna kill the turret in time before you die but then you realize you won't make it in time so you decide to run away or even flash out if the timing of the game is crucial and you really don't want to die. You are only one hit and right before you flash the turret fires a missile which of course follows you to wherever you flashed. But before the missile lands on you and kills you, your teammate manages to kill the turret and when the missile hits you it makes no damage. Now the same of course has happened to me with champion skills. For example I've killed a leblanc but she had already thrown her Q on me and it killed me even though it landed after she died. Or a nunu snowball or any other locked spell with a short delay. I'm pretty certain you can't get damage from turrets if they get destroyed in the meantime but as I said I can't find anything official. Can someone confirm this or point to a link stating it? I've always wondered :) Here is the wiki about turrets where nothing related is mentioned. EDIT: I'll use a picture to make it even more clear. If the turret in the picture was destroyed at that exact moment blitzcrank would take no damage from the purple missile heading towards him :) ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/mBrmX.jpg)


Mount blade smaller map

Is there any way to spawn in a smaller battle map? It takes like 5 minutes of walking to start the battle. A mod that makes maps smaller would be great.


Repeating special jobs at the Thieves Guild

the Special Jobs given by Delvin have been appearing in the dialogue options as *"I have completed the **___** job"* (the underscore is where one of the 5 cities names appears ). It shows this 5 times with all the cities that have the special jobs. When i choose one of the 5 options (or 4, I cant really recall), it goes through with the dialogue for completing the mission, and the last dialogue part for completing the last special mission (Along the lines of _"You can hold your Head up high when your around here..."_ ) Then I receive payment and that's that. It does this for the other 4 options as well. Additionally, it repeats after a few ingame days. I am utterly stumped on what to do and I would appreciate if I could get a detailed response on how to solve this.


The bonus artifacts don't show up in Tunnels and Troglodytes (Liberation campaign)

I'm playing through Heroes 3's campaigns and on the previous scenario I had 2 pieces of **Charm of Mana** and a **Pendant of Life** on my main hero at the end. I explored the map, acquired all items but I was not able to get past a border guard at the bottom right corner (he wanted **The Speculum** ). The artifacts mentioned above however are rewards beyond previous border guards so I don't get it. Why don't they appear when I progress onto the next scenario? And where can I find the **Speculum**?


Is there a spell that can be added to a bow that allows instant death on stealth attacks

I'm thinking of starting a new game in the last 3 Elder Scrolls games and thinking of doing something like an assassin this time round. I would rather do the whole assassin thing properly and get my targets with a bow rather than getting a huge sword and charging in head on, however my experience with bows in The Elder Scrolls is that you only gain a damage bonus from sneak attacks. I would rather do a sneak attack with a bow and know that if it hits, it will kill the target. So is there any spell I can add to a bow to cause instant death to enemies, or even if it has some adverse affect that would be the equivalent?


How can I reassign my gem skills?

As a Marauder, I have picked up a few skills through quests that are weapon dependent. Unfortunately, some of them require mutually exclusive weapons (e.g. Glacial Hammer requires blunt weapons and Cleave requires edged weapons). This means that every time I upgrade to a new weapon, if the weapon type changes, I may wind up with skills that I can't use. At this point, I have more skills than actually fit in the automatically assigned keys (mouse scroll button, mouse right button, q, w, e, r t). I'd like to be able to remove the skills that aren't currently enabled (i.e. cleave when I'm using a mace), while still leaving them socketed so they'll continue to level up. I'd also like to be able to reassign the keys to put them on more convenient hotkeys, yet I have a hard time doing this (I've had to resort to a trial-and- error process of swapping in and out unwanted skills to prevent other skills from automatically assigning to the "wrong" spot). Is there a way to simply assign skills to specific hotkeys?


Is there any way to delete notifications?

I can't seem to find a way at all, and I'm wondering if I'm just missing something or if this is just plain not possible. I know that you can turn off receiving notifications for individual games/apps, but I _do_ want to keep receiving the notifications. I just want a way to delete the old ones when I've read them. Is there any way to do this or some other workaround to make them go away that doesn't involve turning off receiving them entirely from various games?


Holy priest professions for the most beneficial self applied stat boosts

Typically elitist jerks will cover professions that are best for a particular spec/class and by best, this is not a matter of opinion, best here is defined as the benefits the individual gets from mastering a profession such as being able to use +67 agility gems that my combat rogue is able to make from being a jewel crafter. My priest is in holy spec. I'm curious if anyone knows offhand what professions will allow me to maximize critical stats if I go ahead and take the time to master them?


How to kill Blackthorn?

Killing Blackthorn on the Gunship seems to be the most hectic and the most troublesome for everyone I have raided with this far. What are all the mechanics in detail and how do we deal with all these things to create the most stress-free and easy kill?


How do I change the center of view in Sword of the Stars in tactical (real-time combat) mode?

Several years ago when I played this game on Windows XP there was a simple way to do this, but I don't recall exactly how. I think just double-left-click on the desired center-point did the trick. (That works during in strategic mode.) I'm now playing this great classic on Windows 7. Everything seems to work fine, except for this one thing, and I wondering if maybe I'm overlooking something. The problem is that in tactical mode the center-point defaults to the first ship in the formation. This would be fine, but unfortunately this is also the first ship that usually gets destroyed. So, it becomes a real pain to change the view around and direct combat actions.


How do I make a monster spawner?

Who is the announcer in League of Legends?

I wonder, Who is the announcer of league of legends? I don't mean it's place in the storyline/lore (I don't think there's a lot to know there, it's not like the Team Fortress 2 announcer) What I mean is who is the voice actor. Is it someone professional or someone from riot that does a lot more than just the voice actor? I'm curious.

What do the Skull and Crossbones icons over the heads mean?

![Screenshot of an elite and minions with skull and crossbones icons over their heads](http://i.stack.imgur.com/pDgjx.jpg) We have run across this skull and crossbones icon over a few enemies in Hell difficulty and we don't really know what it is. It doesn't appear to be consistent with effect names on elites. I did notice my character had a debuff in the screenshot (didn't notice it in game) and also has the skull and crossbones over his head. So what is this thing and what effects does it have on the monsters and the players?

Where is Braev in the other worlds?

In the first world, you fight Braev the templar alright. But in all the other worlds, I couldn't find him. Perhaps it is because I skipped most of the side events, but as a minimum I did search Eternia's Central Command and he wasn't there. Can Braev be found and fought anywhere in the other worlds? If not, is there an actual plot explanation here?


Is there a limit to the number of cyclones that can be spawned from Sweeping Wind?

I like the Cyclone rune for Sweeping Wind, and it seems to be pretty powerful, but I was wondering about how much value I should place on `+crit chance` gear. Is there a limit on how many Cyclones can be spawned at once? I'm sure that I've seen multiple spawn at once from a Fists of Thunder, so I don't think there is an internal cooldown and I've also seen 5-6 spawned at once. But that still doesn't prove anything, so my question: Does anyone know if there is a limit (hard, or soft like an internal CD) on how many cyclones can be spawned at the same time?


Will deleting the .minecraft folder and restarting the game affect stuff on multiplayer?

Are Flash Fires bad?

The Diablo 3 Witch Doctor skill FireBomb does 85% of your weapon damage in an 8 yard radius. The Flash Fire rune for said skill changes it from an AOE to a single target bouncing attack with a maximum of 6 targets and a 15% Damage Reduction per bounce. Why, o why, would I want to change my attack from 85% to everyone in the area, to an 85% at BEST to only 6 people in the area?

How do "on hit" effects work with channeled / DoT skills?

How do "on hit" effects, such as +life on hit or chance of fear per hit, work with channeled skills, such as Disintegrate or Rapid Fire? And how do they work with damage-over-time skills, such as Grasp of the Dead or Impale with Chemical Burn or just bleed damage from a weapon? Specifically, if I have a lot of "on hit" effects, is it advisable to use a lot of channeled / DoT skills? Given that Rapid Fire attacks like 10 times faster than regular attacks, will I gain health faster if I use it with a "life-on-hit" modifier? I'm guessing the answer is some variation of "no", but will be happy to get more details about this. Related questions I have browsed while trying to find an answer:   * Do channeled skills count as one attack? - but it only asks this regarding Mighty/Massive Blow.   * Do attacks that hit multiple enemies (or one enemy multiple times) generate multiple on-hit triggers? - but it asks regarding non channeled/DoT skills, just discretely-attacking skills that can damage multiple opponents, or damage the same one more than once (like Chakrams).   * Does "Way of the Hundred Fists" generate more than one "on hit" effects? and Does a Sidearm hit count as an additional hit and trigger life on hit are similar but specific to certain skills that work in a non-orthodox way.


Knockback on Hit with Witch Doctor

I have a Rare Ceremonial Knife (Witch Doctor) with 2.0% Chance to Knockback on Hit. Is this effect triggered by non-melee attacks, such as Firebomb and Firebats? I have not seen any evidence in-game that the effect is triggering when using these two skills.

Minecraft Migration Skin

What bow should I use to maximize my ranged damage?

I really like using a bow in DS2, but my current one seems a little weak. I'd like to do as much damage as possible as quickly as possible. For simplicity, we can assume that scaling in one stat is as good as scaling in another stat (I can always respec), and that I'm using wooden arrows for all of them. Which bow will let me do the most damage? Does the answer change if I use greatarrows instead? What is the best if we only consider bows on the normal upgrade path (Titanite Shards, Chunks, and Slabs)?


Why are there files in my End and Nether regions?

In this world, I haven't visited the End or the Nether yet, so the `/DIM` and `/DIM-1` folders have both been empty. At some point today, after building a long rail line, I noticed that there is now a 12kb `/region/r.1.1.mca` in _both_ folders, even though I haven't been to either dimension! The files are missing in my backup from yesterday, so I know they were just created. This is a single-player map, so that precludes the possibility of another server user having visited and caused chunks to be generated. Where did they come from? Why is Minecraft generating chunks for dimensions I haven't visited?


How long to wait between shots when using a deployed designated marksman rifle?

In Project Reality (BF2 version) you have to wait between consecutive shots for the weapon to completely settle, even though there is (unfortunately) no visual feedback for this information. For designated marksman rifles I know that I should wait ~2 seconds between shots in undeployed mode, but how long do I need to wait in deployed mode? I realize the answer might be different across different rifle types, I would just be happy for a rough number. Alternatively, a link to anywhere that details the exact settle times for all weapons will also be welcome :)


How does the water sent to the Arcology affect the region?

The arcology regional project requires 120 Kgal/hr water for operation. Does that water return in the form of sewage, or is it lost forever? If there are multiple cities in the region, whose clock is used to determine if the water supply requirement is met?


What does upgrading the supply unit do?

Like every other unit in the game, the supply unit can be upgraded. However, the armor of the unit doesn't appear to increase with level, and, at $25, the cost seems significantly lower than that of other units. So what does upgrading the supply unit do, other than to add a star to the unit?


What determines bonus xp?

Server vs single-player world effects

Are there any differences with regards to chunk generation or other settings in single-player vs server mode of equivalent versions? I have a map I'd like to host on a private server for my friend to play with me. However, when I'm on the road without ready internet, I'd like to play it single-player as well. Will this cause any issues, especially with chunk generation, drops, items, etc (i.e., getting a different chunk generated in server-mode than single- player would have created), or do all server-client version pairs (I'm using 1.6.2) use the same game code? The main point is that I don't want gameplay to change at all, between single- player and server mode.


How do I get my copy of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade to work with ScummVM again?

A while ago ScummVM suddenly stopped working with my copy of _Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade: The Graphic Adventure_ (Macintosh edition) and I haven't been able to get it working again. I tried deleting the ScummVM config for the game and reloading it, but I get an error saying ScummVM can't read the directory. I've triple checked the permissions and scrubbed any ACLs that may be on the files, but I keep getting `"ScummVM couldn't open the specified directory!"` error message. There is also nothing useful in the console messages either. I'm currently the current ScummVM on Mac OS X 10.5.8 PPC. Does anyone have any ideas what's wrong?


How to get a Gyro chain?

I have tried to get a gyro chain a few times in Gyromancer, but never really could pull it out. More often than not, I would just starve out of moves that didn't involve damaging the enemy, which doesn't help when you have to make so many moves in a row. Things get worse if either monster starts throwing locks on the board. What's a good matchup (own monster and enemy monster) and a good strategy for attaining a gyro chain?


How do I use poisons?

Hiding zoned buildings only

It it possible, or is there a mod, that allows you to hide zoned buildings only. This used to be a an option in Simcity 3000, which was great for adding/finding subways, busstops and other government buildings/parks. I have searched high and low but all I can find was "No", but maybe someone knows a trick or mod? _FYI: I know about the zone view using the dataview, but this hides all structures..._


How long is StarCraft 2's typical input delay compared to other competitive games?

Battle.net 2.0 seems to have severe netcode issues, meaning that commands take longer to be executed than they should. This is likely a result of preventing lag and dropped connections, but it comes at the cost of performance. Compared to games like Heroes of Newerth, Dota2, and Counter-Strike which have excellent latency, how long is StarCraft 2's delay? There was a video done on this when SC2 first came out years ago but it's woefully out of date now; patches have supposedly fixed this, but the SC2 is still clearly slower than Brood War iCCup #LL. A simple example of this cross- comparison analysis between games can be seen here, but I don't know how to replicate it. Is anyone capable of repeating the experiment for SC2 and possibly for other games as well?


How do I reach the rooms east of "A Jump Too Far"?

It seems like I have only two rooms left (got the red gun), _Laying The Foundation_ (top left in the map; I know what the problem is, there) and _A Jump Too Far_ (in the middle). On other screenshots I have seen at least three more rooms in the section marked red, but I can't find any route I haven't taken a dozen times. Is it something incredibly obvious?! (or is this through the door marked _The End_? It's still blocked…) ![Map](http://i.stack.imgur.com/isbP4.png)

What bonus quest objectives are there, and what are the rewards?

During one of the earliest quests in the game, The Fallen Star, you're given the objective to kill the Wretched Queen north of New Tristram. At the same time, you're given the "Bonus" objective of killing three Wretched Mothers. I'm doing my second playthrough of the game, in Nightmare mode now, and it occurred to me that since I've already been everywhere and seen everything, I might not want to complete all of the quest bonus objectives, but I have no idea what they are, or what the rewards are. Does anyone know what bonus quest objectives exist, and what the rewards are? Knowing this would help me streamline my second playthrough without missing any important rewards.

Diablo 3 new authentication key

I purchased Diablo 3 without checking the requirements (I know, I'm dumb). I got it working, but it's insanely slow and barely playable. I give up and I won't be playing it.

How can you tell exactly how much an Upgrade augments your weapons in Mass Effect 3?

I've found the Weapon Upgrade station in my Normandy vehicle bay, and they seem to be reasonably priced and offer a decent range of improvements (weight, damage, and ammo capacity). The question is, is there a comparison screen so you can see how much it's changing your weapon in those areas similar to the loadout selection screen or the mod screen? The only thing I've found is to buy the augment, go to loadout, and see how much your weight cooldown changed. I also haven't noticed any change in the ammo capacity of my N7-Valiant. It had a 30 round capacity with a 3 round magazine at rank I, and still the same at rank III.

What are the chances of gathering rare components from resource nodes?

When you gather materials from a resource node, you have a small chance of obtaining a rare item depending on what type of node it is. (For example, Aspen Saplings occasionally drop a few cinnamon sticks when you cut one down.) In addition, there are several gathering tools that the game describes as: > More efficient at gathering resources and uncovering rare components. What is the base chance of getting rare materials, and how do these special gathering tools modify that chance?

In Silversword, there is a watchtower just outside of the starting town, which is pretty much the 2nd dungeon you'll go to in the game. The name for it that it shows on the screen when you enter is _Abandoned Tower_. When you go downstairs, there is a locked gate. This is _not_ the gate I'm having a problem with, since the key to that is at the top of the tower. But on the same level of the tower, beyond that locked gate, there is a wall you can walk through that leads to a secret area, and in that area there is a door you can walk to. A message appears which says "The door to the south appears to be locked". Unlike all the other locked doors up to this point in the game, no user-interface options pop up for me to try to force the door, pick the lock, or use an item on it. ![this isn't a screenshot I took with my cellphone, I swear](http://i.stack.imgur.com/4Hqwf.jpg) I ended up just leaving it alone and moving on to the next dungeon. So far I've seen nothing that indicates I should return and try again. Is there any way to get through that locked door?


How do I get StoneSense to work?

What do I have to change to get StoneSense 2.0 Slate RC2 to work with Dwarf Fortress 0.31.12?   Right now it's hanging at "Connecting to DF..." for me.


Can you use the Wii Classic Control for the Wii version of Destroy All Humans?

I find the controller layout of _Destroy All Humans_ for the Wii to be too annoying to play for long, using the IR sensor to control the camera is just a pain. I really liked using dual analog sticks to control movement and the camera in the X-Box version. I have noticed that the classic controller has dual analog sticks. Will it work with most games, or only with games that explicitly say they will work with it?


SC1 TvT - defending against tanks

So, I'm playing the SC1 campaign and I'm having a really difficult time on one of the missions (where you destroy the ion cannon.) I can't seem to defend against siege tanks. They come in, demolish my bunkers, and I'm toast. What defenses can a Terran employ to prevent the base from getting overrun by siege tanks?


Sue enemy for peace, but the war goal province is impossible to get

I am playing as Sweden ~1537 AD and I made war against Russia with casus belli to get Nava province, located in Finland, I have claims on it. My allies are Poland and Lithuania, theirs are Bohemia and Hungary (coalition war). We pretty much defeated them in every battle, so the war score is greater than +10%. I'm trying to sue Russia for peace, as head of alliance, but when I try to ask for provinces the only one available is near Lithuania. Of course I can ask for that province to become part of Lithuania, not Sweden. **Why isn't Neva on the list of provinces, or why is just only one province available to ask for ?** This way it's impossible to achieve my conquest war goals, so the war was pointless, I get no benefits, despite being active and winning all battles with my armies... Is this a bug somehow? Thanks for the response!


What is the chance and capture rate of a "Critical Capture"?

Pokémon Black and White introduced a mechanic known as a Critical Capture. When you throw a Pokéball, it has a low chance of pausing in midair, making a metal noise, wiggling once on the ground, and then capturing. My questions are: **what is the chance of a Critical Capture happening** and **what is the capture rate when it occurs**?


Where's the contradiction in this shoe?

I'm playing through the original Phoenix Wright game, and I'm stuck on a particular part of the "Rise from the Ashes" case. No matter what I do (raise objections, press the witness, etc), everything keeps coming back to this shoe: ![Judge: "Show us the problem with this evidence!" \(White Shoe\)](http://i.stack.imgur.com/jHQfw.png) But no matter what part of the shoe I point to, nobody seems convinced of anything: ![Edgeworth: "Take that finger and point it at your own head, Mr. Wright."](http://i.stack.imgur.com/19Uq8.png) What am I missing? Is there a contradiction in the victim's shoe, and if so where? I would have just Googled it, but I'm afraid if I do I'll end up getting a whole lot more information than I'm looking for and whole case will be spoiled for me. I should also note that in the past I've experience some difficulties with the whole 3D evidence examination system in this game. It seems like the targetable areas of the evidence are very tiny and its often been very hard for me to get the game to acknowledge that I am indeed pointing at the correct part of the evidence. So if there is a contradiction I'd appreciate it if you'd be very precise in your description of where it is. Thanks for your help! ;-)


Where are these supposedly mysteriously appearing rupees?

I just acquired the **Rupee Medal** in _The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword._ Supposedly this medal "makes Rupees mysteriously appear." But _where_ do they appear!? Are they supposed to just politely drop themselves into my wallet? Do they appear when I defeat enemies? Or is it more frequent rupees when i cut grass/bushes? Or is the Goddess just trolling me!? I carried this worthless piece of junk around for a half hour and got bupkis!


How does Batrider's tether-break and napalm work WRT his firefly ability?

Two questions in one here guys, let me know if better to split them out:   1. If Batrider has ult'd someone and lasso'd them, under what circumstances does the lasso break? I ask as on various occasions I've seen it break, but it appears to be inconsistent, so wondering how that works. One example I've seen is if Bat uses a force-staff it can break, but sometimes it doesn't break.   2. If Batrider has applied stacks of sticky napalm to a hero, and then the hero takes damage from his firefly AoE ability - does the firefly DPS increase with napalm stacks? For example - if Bat has level 1 firefly (20 DPS) and level 1 sticky napalm (extra 10 damage), then does a hero with 1 stack of sticky napalm take 30 DPS or 20? Thanks!

Terminology: Gosu?

I have often heard people throw around the compliment 'Gosu'. What does this mean and where did it come from? Example in context: I can't believe that player beat Aardvark, he's so gosu!


Do pro players manage to consistently maintain high CS in early game?

As an ADC, I made a goal of getting 70 CS at the 10 minute mark. I can achieve this only in games where I have a very passive farming lane (rarely). Most of the time, there is a lot of harassing and some kills (normal games, I am Silver), and I get a lot lower CS then. My question is: do pro players manage to keep their high CS score early game (around 10m) in a very aggressive lane? To rephrase it: whatever the CS they can achieve on a passive lane, does that drop much on an aggressive lane, or do they manage to keep the same CS score? Edit: the reason I want to know this is to know whether or not I must be concern of the drop in my CS on aggressive lanes (I know 70 CS is actually low, I will set it higher when I achieve it).


Can I give other players powertools?

Can I give other players the use of powertools via the Essentials plugin for Bukkit? Not the command (`/powertool`), but the ability to use an item as a powertool. **Ex:** I assign the use of `/spawn` to a compass for PlayerA. However, he can not assign powertools to himself, he is only able to use the powertools assigned to him by other players.


Where can I see my perfect games in steam?

In my achievement showcase there is an item which says that I have 1 perfect game (which means 100% of the achievements gathered). So I browsed my games game by game and was still unable to find that specific game. There is also no link in the showcase. After some googling I still have not found a way to find the perfect games in Steam. So, where can I see my perfect games in Steam?

Using the Kinect Microphone for Chat, how does one set it up correctly to use video chat, but not in games?

I am a little confused on a particular config on the Kinect, when it comes to chatting. If you go to the settings, there is a way to turn 'Microphone on/off for chat'. When I set up my nephews, I left this on, and I am pretty sure that when we played some CoD:Black Ops that night - his kinect was picking up noises in their room and everyone in our game could hear it. When I set mine up, I had this off. When we tried to do a Kinect Video chat last night, and it shows your face (while waiting to connect), it noted that my microphone was off. So I went and turned this on in settings, and went about using the Kinect video. My real question is: How do I set this up so when I do a video chat it works, but when I am just in a game I can use a headset or nothing at all? Note: There is a slim possibility that he was wearing a headset (and his kinect was not picking up audio), but it was picking up in game noises and rebroadcasting them - and he's far away enough TV that shouldn't matter.


Final Fantasy for iphone: increase font size

I just downloaded FF (the original) for iphone, having been happy with FF3 for iOS. However, font size, item lists, etc, are insanely and nausea-inducingly small. I find it even hard to see how the character models actually look like. In fact, as is I declare the game unplayable. Is there any way to make at least the font size and item lists (eg, shops, inventory) larger? The basic finger swipe doesn't work, and nothing in the config section.


Nethack server play on android?

I am looking for efficient ways to play nethack on one of the servers through my Android device. I know it is possible through telnet but I have no experience with that. However, I tried a couple of telnet programs on my device but wasn't able to play properly. My preference goes to unnethack but I'll go with anything nethack that plays well. I reckon it's not possible to connect to a server using the Android client - I tried the gui one in the past, and unnethack for a few days.


What is the difference between the four versions of Civ 4 that Steam installs?

I just bought the Civ 4 complete edition from Steam with the 3 DLC packs, and I now have 8 different versions in my library. Four of them are SteamOS versions, but I can't figure out what to do with the other 4 versions. Can I not play a game with all 4 versions enabled at once? How does this system work? Civ 3 and Civ 5 all have a single version, why not Civ 4?


How to stop some games blowing fuse

I've been gaming for a while now. When playing certain games this PC goes into overdrive. The fan/fans start/s to sound like a jet engine it/they get/s so busy. Also I have smelt burning when this has happened. The fuse blew on the 4 socket adapter I was using recently. On the following thread someone said this could be due to the PSU not being strong enough to handle the load, in what it seems could be a related issue someone had, although the person who posted this question did say that blowing a fan on their PC stopped it crashing in that case: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/answers/id-2047543/gtx-650-overheating- issue.html. This is exactly what they said: > Your GPU isn't overheating. 70+ before it would shutdown and cause a > restart. Make sure your PSU is strong enough to handle your new system at > load and possibly run Memtest to check your RAM (although not BSOD'ing and > just shutting down points to the PSU). This (the PSU part) makes more sense to me than it being to do with dust etc, since it seems a more plausible explanation of why the fuse blew. The PC has no problems except when playing certain games: i.e. TERA Rising and WoW with add-ons (I think WoW is ok as long as I don't have more than 1 add-on (Healers Have To Die)). I'm just wondering if anyone knows or can suggest what I might be able to do to be able to play these games without this problem occurring. The PC's spec is this: Display: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 650 8GB RAM (6 available) Processor: AMD FX (tm) - 8120 Eight-Core Processor - 3.1 GHz, 4 Cores, 8 Logical Processors I have also asked this question on superuser.com. Here is a link to it: http://superuser.com/questions/767113/gaming-blew-fuse-and-causes-funny-smell- how-to-overcome/768159?noredirect=1#comment996554_768159. I clicked delete to remove the question here on gaming.stackexchange.com, but a message appeared which said that the deletion of questions which have answers is discouraged and leads to a question ban if it happens repeatedly, so I won't be deleting the question, as I don't want to do something that is discouraged or move closer to a question ban. There has been quite some progress on the superuser post, although I don't feel ready to accept any of the answers at this stage.


Does it change the dialogs or options depending on the leader?

In the Tactics menu you can change the leader of the party, being the one at front while walking around, and the one interacting with the people and objects. Does the selected leader changes the dialogs in the game? Or more important thing: Does one leader over another grant more possibilities (like reaching a hidden area or obtaining an item)?

Lego Harry Potter Years 1-4 save on iPhone

After searching around the internet, I came to know that there's no mid-level save in Lego Harry Potter Years 1-4 on the iPhone. Rather the game saves automatically after each level finishes. When I quit after finding Dudley's presents in the first level and catching all the rats at Diagon Alley, the game still doesn't save. Is the first level not finish yet or is there a bug in my version of the game? When does the first level actually end?


Using an external tool to store items/weapons

A long time ago diablo 2 had an external tool called ATMA, which you could use to store items outside of the game. Which removed the need for mule characters. I was wondering if borderlands 2 has a similar tool. So a program that you use to store your weapons/items outside of the game. Not using the ingame bank. That way you can keep all those rare weapons you find.


Dota 2: increase Viewport size

Is there a way to increase the viewport using configs or video.txt? It seems that the viewport depends on monitor resolution, but I heard that resolution does not matter and everyone has the same viewport.


Exploration career for solo gameplay

Recently I started to play Eve Online with in mind the world of exploration and scanning. I plan to play as a lonestar most of the time (I'm in a corp anyway) since I tend to log at strange hours usually. My char already is training some required skills (aiming for the basic Cartographer certificate right now) and all I did till now was read this guide and complete all the Agent Career Missions related to explorations. **Now what?** The question is just this: what should I do now? I saw a lot of websites around, but they all talk about lowsec or nullsec zones. I'm planning to stay in highsec for a while, till I get acquainted with this career and all that is involved. Where should i look for sites to explore? I don't mind some fighting from time to time, but if I could find some "relaxed" exploration sites (go- scan-explore-grab_an_item-get back/report to someone) to improve my economy and have some fun exploring space, that would be what I'm looking for! Any help? Is this possible, or all exploration sites lend to a brutal fight with pirates, requiring me a backup fleet? Thanks all!


How to update driver to play Angry Birds on Lenovo SL400?

I got this error when starting game: "Texture is too large: 2048x2048, maximum supported size: 1024x1024." I googled some hours and find a solution out: updating display adapters in Device Management. My display adapter is Mobile Intel(R) 45 Express Chipset Family (Microsoft Corporation - WDDM 1.1). When I updated it, it reported "your device is up to date". Now I still can't play the game. Many thanks for any help.

Resetting Xbox 360 hard drive to default settings

I have recently used a transfer cable with an Xbox 360 hard drive in order to connect it to my Xbox to allow for more storage. Now I have removed the configuration of the hard drive to be used for additional storage, but when I place it in the correct Xbox hard drive location it is not recognised, can I maybe have help resetting the hard drive to default in order for it to be recognised by the Xbox?

How to deal with people who keep demanding replies to Spacebook messages?

I keep getting notifications about friends who wants me to reply to their Spacebook messages. However, I can't get rid of them, even if I write them new messages. One is a crazy ex-girlfriend, whom I've messaged with extensively, another is one of my good friends. Every day I get a -10 penalty to relationship, since I've neglected to reply to their messages. The ex can be ignored, but I have to hang out with this other dude every day to negate the penalty ... and he still wants me to reply to some message. Gosh, what is his problem? Having friends and doing friend things suck! I read all messages. I've also deleted every message, so if there is some hidden "reply" button, I guess it can no longer be used after I deleted said message. Is this a bug, hidden feature, or do I just have unreasonable friends/ex- girlfriends?


As Yorick, when should I ult someone other than the ADC?

Since Revenant scales off AD, and also the most valuable member on team who can help a lot more with extra 10 seconds of life-after-death is the ADC - it seems a natural fit to use R on Vayne or Ezreal etc. when the team is around. Are there any cases when I should try to ult someone else on the team, if so how do I choose the right target?


Most efficient way to move Goblinite down many z-levels?

I have several magma smelters and forges, located right on top of a pool of naturally occurring magma (i.e., quite deep). It's a long haul to go from the surface where most of these items reside, to the magma work-area, and I have a large number of items to move. What's the most efficient way to get these items melted down? Things I've considered:   * Dig a new 1x1 shaft all the way down from the surface, with a hatch cover; then designate a dump zone next to the shaft and mark all the goblinite for dumping. _I haven't done this yet, as I am afraid that the dropped items will explode/shatter when they hit bottom, injuring my magma-smithy workforce, or become damaged to the point of being unmeltable (can that happen?)_   * Setup a minecart route of some kind. _I am in progress on this, it is an unpowered route_   * Setup a multi-minecart chute system _I just came up with this, not sure on viability. How durable are minecarts if you drop them from a great height?_   * Setup a pair of stockpiles, one on the surface that accepts all the things I want to melt, and one in the forge area that only takes from the surface pile, and assign wheelbarrows/bins appropriately. _This seems surefire to work, but possibly very slow_


Cannot Buy Land in Falkreath

I am playing Skyrim on the Xbox 360 and experiencing a **_major_** glitch. Here is my current situation: My character is currently at level 75 and I am Thane in the following cities:   * Winterhold   * Windhelm   * Falkreath   * Solitude   * Morthal   * Markarth   * Dawnstar   * Riften I downloaded Hearthfire DLC around level 60 and received two notices from the courier:   1. Adoption letter   2. Letter from Steward in Falkreath about buying land I ignored both letters and went about my business (messing up trolls and skeevers). I eventually grew tired of that and finished the Dark Brotherhood quests. After the last mission, I made my way back to Falkreath and talked to the steward. But, no matter what I do, I cannot buy land from the steward! WHY!? I am holding a note that says I can buy land in Falkreath. ![](http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120921004815/elderscrolls/images/thumb/f/fc/Nenya.png/256px- Nenya.png)   I even threw the note at `Nenya`, the Jarl's incompetent steward, hoping she would realize the error of her ways, but to no avail. I have no miscellaneous tasks left so it is not a matter of doing favors for the Jarl. My last major save was 15 levels ago and I would prefer _not_ to restart the game from scratch. Has anyone else experienced this? Any suggestions on what to do??


Having terrible lag on a certain server

As of today, on a certain server I play on, I lag when I get onto the server. I'm able to break blocks and move, but not able to interact with the world. By this I mean that I won't receive blocks I have broken, I cannot use redstone devices, etc. Nor can I chat (so to speak, anyways). Through dynamap, I was able to figure out that others were able to see my chat, however I was not able to see mine or theirs in-game. Sometimes, minutes later, all the actions I performed (chat, block breaking/placing, world interaction), will all come through at once. This will just happen over and over again until I usually get a "Read time out" error which is odd, since these errors only last for about 2-3 minutes for me, when they occur. (And this has been happening continuously, all day) NOTE: This only happens for this specific server. All other servers have been acting generally normal, no issues like this. Even the ones that I have ridiculously high ping with (like 2400ms...) are acting normal. Later, I checked the ping for the server, and it was generally normal, being at its average 240ms or so. I restarted my computer as well, and it still happened. I ran speedtest.net, as well, and received normal results (4.5MPBS upload, 19ishMBPS download). Is this a problem with my .minecraft? Should I delete it and start fresh? Or is the just a computer/network problem? All help is appreciated.


What determines how many blood shards I get?

The boss fights in the Nephalem Rifts often drop multiple blood shards. They show up in bright purple and it says "Blood Shards (X)" where 'x' is the number I received from that fight. It seems like every time I fight one of these rift bosses, I get a different number of blood shards. And, when I play with some of my friends, they usually get a different number than I do. What determines how many blood shards are dropped from Nephalem Rift boss fights?

How to get the MK fight stick (xbox 360 version) to work on PS3?

Here is my model: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004XNYVGO/ref=s9_simh_gw_p63_d0_i3?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=center-2&pf_rd_r=19XSHXMEYHPA28NCGGD7&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=1389517282&pf_rd_i=507846 Obviously, this isn't possible out of the box. I wanted to know if this was actually doable. If so, how? I've read online about different options like modding it. This is one of the really expensive MK fight stick models and I really don't want to mod it and change things around and take the risk of screwing it up. I've seen items like this: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0089OBLDO/ref=s9_simh_gw_p63_d0_i1?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=center-4&pf_rd_r=09GE1CMEMC08YP5DH2RY&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=470939031&pf_rd_i=507846 I don't know reliable these things are since I've never tried or used them.


How can I move aircraft to other continents?

In _Civilization 5_ , I have built multiple aircrafts such as Bombers, Zeros, and Paratroopers. I move my planes to my city closest to my enemy (on a different continent), but my planes cannot make an air strike on the enemy, because it is so far away. Is it possible to move aircraft overseas?

Is it viable to play Annie as a tank?

I started playing Annie lately and I just realized that Annie has everything that a tank needs:   * She has a decent defensive steroid which is almost permanent with 40% CDR   * She has almost spammable AOE stun which is great for initiating teamfights and CC-ing people My question is: assuming that you team has decent damage dealers, is it viable to build Annie as a tank?

How do I learn to effectively transfer to 2v2 hard AI as Zerg?

I've played quite a few 2v2 games now and started moving up to the Hard AI in 2v2. I do fine as long as I go Terran, but as Zerg I'm having real trouble. I find that I have 2 weaknesses in my gameplay: 1) initial rush survival. I can't make zerglings or lings/roaches do well against the computer. I haven't tried going zergling/banelings yet, but even on medium AI unless i have burrow I don't seem to be able to use my banelings effectively. Going hard spine crawlers is difficult because of lack of early creep production. 2) transfer to late mid-game. When I do manage to survive the initial rushes (usually due to a really effective companion) then I'm having trouble getting into an effective late mid game and end game. I've been really effective against the ai with harassing mutalisks, especially since you can get the AI to ping-pong their troops, but microing that harassment while keeping my economy going and teching up to t3 units is giving me problems. If I go heavy hydras then I essentially have the same problem. I do ok until the computer techs up enough that mass hydras just aren't cutting it anymore, then I find myself behind on the tech and economy race. What t3 units complement a hydra- heavy build?


How many military units per city/population is recommended in Civilization IV?

I'm looking for guidance in Civilization IV on how best to build a military that allows for the optimum mix of defensive capabilities with offensive ability (when needed) without having to sacrifice technological gains and city improvements. Some background: I'm having difficulty balancing domestic output and city improvements with military strength and aggressiveness whenever I play at the Noble difficulty level or above. My preferred style of play is to not emphasize military strength, but instead to work on science and trade and city improvements. On the military front I build primarily defensive units with defensive city improvements (such as archers and walls in the early game). The problem I run into with this strategy is that usually by 0 AD or so there will be at least one civilization on the map that's got it out for me, despite my attempts at placating all of my neighbors. They'll send in a swarm of units, destroy my improvements, and take out a few cities. My only defense (sadly) is to buy/negotiate a peace treaty. I've tried playing the opposite way - building a very strong military - but in doing so I usually have to sacrifice building workers/settlers at the rate I enjoy, which slows my expansion. I usually last a lot longer but by the mid game my civilization is behind most others when it comes to technology, city sizes, the breadth of my empire, culture, and so on. Also, this approach just isn't as much fun for me. TIA

I can't find any multiplayer games for Modern Warfare 3 on Xbox 360

I completed the campaign in MW3 and it was an awesome experience. Then I head to multiplayer and looked into games that I can play. But unfortunately there are no games to play. The search says "no games found". As I googled this is an issue that many people are currently experiencing and only happens to Xbox 360 users (which sucks). PC and PS3 users are not having such an issue and some say that Xbox Live doesn't allow IPs from different regions to join global servers to prevent the lag, that is absolutely ridiculous. Then what's the point of having such large servers, and why are PC/PS3 users not filtered? Also, why is it that COD MW 2 and Black Ops are not having such issues? There's definitely an issue. So I would like to know, will they fix this issue or do they just leave it as it is, or are there any other methods that I can use to overcome this issue? **UPDATE** Exact issue with more details http://john385.com/ Thanks.


What is the best strategy to defeat Cid Raines?

I'm trying to beat Cid Raines in Final Fantasy 13. He's the boss in the Fifth Ark. I've been really struggling to get a good strategy around his attacks, without much success. Usually, I sentry myself until I get all of the upgrades, attack him till I need healed, then heal myself. After that, he typically is guarding himself, making himself a real pain to attack. What can I do to beat him? Thanks!


Compatibility of the latest Gothic 3 community patch

After installing the latest version of the Gothic 3 community patch (V1.74), will I be able to continue using savegames that have been made using earlier versions of the game (in my case v1.6) and just miss some of the improvements made by v1.74, or will I have to start a new game from the beginning?.


What are constructs vulnerable to?

My dual wielding swordman-thief-pyromaniac character is having a LOT of trouble with constructs, given that his usual approach is turning out to be useless against them. I'm playing this one without permadeath, so here's my character after 50 or so deaths <_< ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/irtwJ.png) ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/yWNCW.png) ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/566OY.png) Skills: liechtenauer's overhau, sword practice, thibault's trompement; offensive maneuvering; rune of exploding, summon wrymling; lucky pick, lockup. I rely on physical damage for melee and fire damage for ranged attack. However, those damn constructs don't want to play nice and only take 4 slashing + 1 existential damage out of the 20+5 I should be lashing out. With their giving 6 damage, fights are really unpleasant. Fire is effective, but I can only give out so much with 44 max mana. They're also much more vulnerable to the trompement (they take 13 then), but again I can only do that every so often. What can I do? Should I try and "offclass" to a different weapon type doing more of the right kinds of damage? Should I give up one of the swords for a shield and do even less damage but take in less? Should I just skip this entire level?


Is there a spec difference between the PS3 slim models?

Is there any difference between, for example, a 160GB model and a 320GB model aside from the HDD size? Does any model have newer, more powerful components? Wikipedia suggests that there isn't a difference, however I'd like to be sure.


How do I defeat the Spider Woman on Samurai VS Zombies?

I'm on about level 22 in Samurai VS Zombies Defense. I restarted the game again once, because I got fed up with being stuck on the same level (yea i know). I remember that spider woman who appears somewhere in levels 39 - 45 was difficult to defeat last time. What I do is to use the farmers extensively (I have them upgraded to level 7 so far). I use the other people sometimes but only when I really need to. I find that farmers always work the best (so long you have a lot of them). I know that farmers don't work on the spider lady, so, when she comes what should I do? Who should I use, and what would be the best line up? Who should I upgrade and how far? I don't want to spend a single cent IRL, so, methods that dont involve real money would be best. Thanks!


How do you prevent other players from using commands?

I want to de-op players in Minecraft so they can't use any commands to go into creative mode and grief my map. I want to block them from using commands). How do you do that?


You have died from... 'Bad Luck'... What actually killed me?

I have died from multiple opponents and near by explosions. Sometimes, these causes cannot be traced by the battlefield 3 system and, therefore, I get prompted 'Bad Luck'. Usually, I am okay with this as environmental causes that I cannot control in the battlefield - but is DICE killing me because they think I am cheating? DICE recently released information that  they are cracking down on cheaters. I am grateful for their crackdown - as cheaters can ruin games - but I have heard through the grapevine that DICE will kill you if they 'think' you are cheating ( some automated system built into BF3 to autokill you if you go on a massive kill streak). Example: I was flying a jet, which just randomly exploded: Bad Luck. This was after a good, legit air dominance. I confirmed with server admins that they did not kill me (with any server administrative tools). They told me that DICE will just do that once in a while. Can anyone confirm that this exists in battlefield 3 or not?


LOTRO Legendary Skills (Champion)

I'm a level 40 champion and I've had the books for the legendary skills for about a day of gameplay and I've talked to Gimli, I've read multiple things about people finding every page in a **single** Angmar run, but I haven't had a single page fall for me, What should I do?


How can I rename my town in Animal Crossing?

I got my son Animal Crossing for the DS for Christmas and he thought it might be fun to name his town after a fish: ![Pelly: THis is the Crap civic center. What can I help you with?](http://i.stack.imgur.com/KxvHo.jpg) We didn't notice until he'd invested some time in his new character. After a good laugh, I tried to help him rename his town and rebuilding seemed to be the only option: ![So, you really want to get rid of Crap?](http://i.stack.imgur.com/uHdTL.jpg) He's pretty nervous about proceeding and I don't know what to suggest. Will he lose everything? It sure sounds like it. The only other think I can think of is that he has a character on the Wii version of Animal Crossing and there seems to be a way to move character between them. We're not at home at the moment for me to experiment. Can we console him by promising that he can move his Wii Animal Crossing character to his DS? I guess that's unlikely too. Any suggestions?


Can I avoid creating Colossi and still maintain reasonable win-loss ratio as Protoss?

I dislike playing Colossi. Sure, they are awesome (in graphical design, story background, abilities etc), but in my opinion (warning: I'm silver ;) ) they kind of force my opponents to build certain counters and this pushes the game into meta-game like "keep colossi alive long enough to make sufficient damage to turn battle in my favor". This is just plain boring :) Given the circumstances, I'd love to completely avoid creating Colossus (for some time at last) to enjoy, examine and practice other possibilities and I'm curious: **Is there any unit composition/technique (in any race) that requires Colossi to survive/win?** Could its main purpose (frying masses of light, small units - Zerglings, Marines, Hydras) be handled with success by High Templars? (I enjoyed HTs back in the SC1 days) Edit: A few clarifications:   * by "reasonable" win-loss ratio I mean "not much worse or even comparable to that when using Colossus" assuming comparable conditions ;) (theoretically);   * I'm aware of the fact that High Templar does require higher amounts of micro and careful aiming when casting psionic storms (I'm not afraid of that, I just enjoy HT)


What is the optimal opening strategy for "Mortal Foibles of Kings"?

I've tried this scenario 7-8 times now and can't seem to survive for very long before all of my buildings get destroyed and I'm totally wiped out. The hordes of rats just get to be too much too quickly. What is the optimal opening build order in order to ensure survival long enough to destroy some of the mob dens?


Does Kinect Really Work?

I would love to hear from someone who has bought a Kinect. Does it really work? Is it buggy? Does it require a specific rug or background? Can kids and adults play it? What are the ins and outs really? I have seen all the Microsoft Videos, but I would like to hear from someone who is not a MS person if it really works.

Does the Elizabeth leader bonus in Civ5 also apply to embarked units?

In Civ5, Elizabeth gets the bonus: > +2 movement for all naval units Does this also apply to embarked (land-)units? Note: The manual is a _bit_ more precise: > **Unique Trait** Sun Never Sets: +2 MPs for all ocean-going naval units. So this would mean you get this only after you have discovered the tech that lets you enter ocean tiles. Still does not specify if it applies to embarked units also?


Where can I get a replacement DS Lite battery in Germany?

I'm looking for a replacement battery for my DS Lite. I recently moved from the United States to Germany; back in the US, the Nintendo Store offers a replacement DS Lite battery. However, that would be subject to insane shipping charges as well as customs fees and delays. However, I cannot find any equivalent store on the Nintendo Germany website, nor the Nintendo UK site, which would at least keep shipping within the EEC (and it's in a language I know). They do offer repair services which can replace the battery, but these are much more expensive and won't accept my US- origin DS Lite anyway. The local GameStop and Saturn do not have any DS Lite batteries. Amazon.de and Amazon.co.uk both have plenty of third-party batteries, most of which have bad reviews, with claims that the batteries do not fit, are labelled incorrectly, and just plain don't last long. I'd rather not take my chances with tiny containers of potential energy, so these don't seem like a good choice. Is there anywhere within Germany (or barring that, within the EEC) where I can order a good DS Lite battery?


Ever since Sonic 3 came out, I never made it past Carnival Night Zone. I'm not sure which act, but I always got trapped at some point and would have to reset the game. I don't think it was a glitch, I just got stuck at some point. It happened back in the day on the Genesis console and even now when I attempt the game using an emulator. Did this happen to anyone else? I'm a pretty capable gamer, but I never could get past this one part. It seemed that all paths led to this little trap room and there was no way out. How do I get out?


What's the most efficient way to counter a rush with workers?

Out of the manual, if you are rushed and have no units you need to counter with workers. Problem is selecting all of them and focus firing doesn't work since:   1. All your workers can hardly attack a single enemy unit.   2. After they kill one unit they stai idle and are massacred Is it the only way to control the workers manually when attacking (pure micro) or is there a way to tell the workers to automatically attack units around or any other trick I should avail myself of? Any help appreciated! P.S. I play zerg, not sure if it makes a difference


Which chems are addictive?

Specifically, I'm wondering about Turbo, Cateye and Hydra. Are any of them addictive? If so, what's the chance of getting addicted? I've been holding onto these chems, but selling the ones I'm used to (Buffout, Med-X, Psycho, etc.), in case they could be useful without "hooking" me. Am I misguided? If so, am I misguided because (if I want to avoid addiction) I should sell them, or am I misguided because (if they're not addictive) I should be using them when needed?


What is the effective range of Magnet Shrooms?

How close must a Zombie be to lose its items to the Magnet Shroom? Is there any difference if the Digger Zombie is underground vs. above ground?


How can I teach my less-skilled friends the value of scouting and aggression?

I've been playing Starcraft 2 with many real-life friends who have varying levels of experience with Starcraft and RTSes in general. At this point most of them have gotten the hang of the macro game, how to efficiently build their economy, army, and tech. However, they haven't really mastered the value of scouting and of attacking when the time is right - they tend to turtle up behind their defenses or just build a big standing army but not do anything with it. My personal experience has given me some instinct, however crude (and I'm not a super-skilled player by any means) for timing and for the value of attacking when the time is right, but I don't know how best to build that instinct in my buddies. What are some videos or exercises/training kinds of things we could do to teach the value of scouting and of attacking when conditions favor you? These guys aren't necessarily interested in jumping into league play and learning by getting stomped, but it would be more fun for everybody if we were all of similar skill levels. I'm looking for things we can do, in an environment more casual and friendly than league play, to improve via positive feedback instead.


Is it possible to use weapons worth of 12 energy by filling weapon room with Zoltan crew?

I couldn't get enough Zoltan crew members to test it myself, so I wonder if getting 4 of them in the weapon control room will increase total weapon power capacity from 8 to 12 or if the 4 power bars will be freed instead. I'm thinking of finding 3 5-shot laser cannons for a grand total of 15 destructive shots.


Network game connection lost

Today I always get a network game connection lost message when I try to join to my multiplayer openttd server. I checked local / server speed test. The only critical value is the 0.5 MBit/s on upload on the server. Do you know what is the requirement? Or can it be any other couse for this issue? ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/xyRic.png)


Returning a Card to hand & Charge

Regarding cards such as **Shadowstep** or **the Brewmasters** that return a minion on the battlefield to the owner's hand (usually friendly). I know these are good for minions with battle-crys but I'm trying to ensure that most, if not all the cards in my decks have at least 2 strategies. **Question** : Could you say, place a minion with **charge** , **attack** , **pick it** back **up** with one of the mentioned cards, **play it again** and **attack again**? I'm aware it's not the most efficient/effective strategy but I could see some potential in it.


Where can I find good Company of Heroes replays?

I'm interested in improving my Company of Heroes play. Back when I played Warcraft 3, I watched pro replays to increase my understanding of strategy, tactic and game mechanics as well as to get new ideas. Is there a place to find professional CoH games to watch, too?


What prevents users from cheating from outside a game?

When I thought about asking this I was watching a StarCraft 2 replay, but I guess this can happen on any game that has spectators, in which secrecy is a major part of the game (like hiding your tech from your opponent in sc2). How (if at all) are users prevented from spectacting a game and feeding information to a player via (for example) instant messaging? I'm guessing friends or clan members would do that.   Is this just ignored? Is it not a big problem in general?


Do you even need to build tanks in CoH?

I noticed that games in Company of Heroes are fought almost exclusively using infantry, with the addition of small anti-infantry armored vehicle (and the corresponding anti-vehicle guns). Bigger tanks often do not appear even late in the game (with the exception of game-breaking tanks like a Königstiger). In my experience, serious tanks are too easily destroyed by a scouting opponent to justify their costs, so unless your secondary resources are outstandingly high I consider it better to stick to infantry and small vehicles. Various replays verified this theory. In what situations do you really need to build tanks, and what are the advantages over a small-unit-strategy?


How do I stop 5 rax reaper into MM as Zerg?

High ground and line of sight for terran with siege tanks

http://www.sc2replayed.com/replays/63611-1v1-terran-protoss-kulas-ravine This is a game I had earlier tonight on Kulas Ravine where I had the high ground by Terrans base which he was unable to get to because of rocks. My understanding is if you don't have an air unit or a unit on the ramp you can't see the units attacking you. However, after watching the replay, once my stalkers engaged the siege tanks on the lower ground they became visible to the Terran player and he was able to hit them with his siege tanks. He didn't have any air units gaining him line of sight or access to the ramp because of the rocks. He was even able to reach my colossus that was at max range with the range upgrade that was also on the high ground. An orbital command scan wasn't used either. My question is how was he able to see my stalkers and attack them without gaining line of sight? My understanding of how that works seems to be incorrect.

Extraordinarily long names in Modern Warfare?

Every now and then I run into people with names that extend off the screen in Modern Warfare 2. How can I get a name like that? Steam seems to limit the number of characters I can have when I try.


What is the difference between Support and Lane Support?

When I read the role descriptions here, http://dota2.gamepedia.com/Role, it seems unclear to me as to what the difference is between a Lane Support and Support. > **Support** > > "Can focus less on amassing gold and items, and more on using their > abilities to gain an advantage for the team." > > Supports are heroes whose purpose is to keep their allies alive and give > them opportunities to earn more gold and experience. Supports will usually > come with skills, such as healing spells or skills that disable enemies; and > generally have low damage output (but often with a powerful-yet-situational > ultimate). Like Semi-Carries, Supports are not dependent on items (with some > exceptions), and thus, most of their gold will be spent on items for the > benefit of the team such as Animal Courier, Observer Ward, Sentry Ward, and > Smoke of Deceit. Supports are typically paired with the team's Carry at the > start of a game. This is because the Carry tends to be the weakest and most > gold-hungry member of the team early on, whereas support heroes are at their > strongest in the early game. A Support should always forfeit kills to any > teammates who are more reliant on items than s/he is, only performing a kill > if none of his/her allies are able to do it. > > **Lane Support** > > "Helpful in the early-game laning in protecting your team's carry." > > Lane Supports or Babysitters are Heroes who help their team's Carry control > the lane in the early stages of the game. They are able to either repel > enemies from your team's carry and thus keep them safe, or to allow the > carry to continuously stay in the lane using abilities that replenish either > health or mana. Common traits of Lane Supports are long-ranged right-click > attacks and abilities that are highly useful from level 1 and up. They > should always lane with the team's Hard Carry, as aside from supporting > them, their lack of dependence on gold and levels means said Carry can take > all the farm for themselves without running the risk of soloing a lane.

How many missions do I need to complete to upgrade my Operation Breakout badge?

So the new badge is weird in that it doesn't rank up based on comp wins, but based on operation missions completed on official matchmaking servers. How many missions would I have to complete to get to Silver, and even to Gold?


Where is my Goddess Chest from the Goddess Cube in the volcano?

When I entered the actual volcano in Eldin Volcano and dove off the metal platform, I landed on a tall rock platform witha Goddess Cube on it. I hit it witha Skyward Strike and it shot into the sky, but when I returned to the sky to open the Goddess Chest, I saw no indication of where it was on my map! What gives? I've struck at least a half dizen other Goddess Cubes and they all showed up on my map in the Sky. Where's my treasure!?


When should I use the Blood Donation Machine?

The Blood Donation Machine allows you to trade half a heart pre-Womb or a whole heart in or after the Womb for some amount of money. Additionally, there is a chance that the machine will explode and give you a Blood Bag, which gives you another heart and heals you five hearts (unless you're playing as ???). I've read that the average number of usages to obtain a Blood Bag is around eight. I've never made it as high as eight personally, but it's supposedly possible to go well above that. Is there a maximum or minimum number of times before a Blood Bag will drop? If I have a certain number of hearts, am I guaranteed a Blood Bag? Can it drop on the first use of the machine?


What are tactics for a Witch Doctor to use against Invulnerable Minion packs?

Invulnerable Minion packs have been very challenging for me while soloing Hell. Generally I've been using Haunt and Poison Darts with Splinters for my single target damage, but Splinters tends to get blocked by the invulnerable minions, making positioning very important. I'm not looking for specific builds, but rather specific tactics for a variety of builds, so that I can pick one to match whatever build I'm using.


How do you get 'overheal' in Deus Ex?

As I got into the Hive through the women's bathroom, I noticed that my health was not the usual 100, but 125. I did check a few doors and toilets on my way through, but doing so after I noticed the change in health didn't get me another bump upwards. I have thus no idea about what happened there. Why is my health suddenly 125? Excluding hypostims and other health items (I don't recall using any), what does bump your health beyond 100?


What is different between the pre-Mom levels and post-Mom levels?

I beat Mom for the first time yesterday and continued into the Womb on a second playthrough. I was doing pretty well (playing Cain, had 6-7 hearts, maxed out tears, high damage, 99 coins and keys, etc.), but noticed a _significant_ difficulty difference in the Womb. What is the differences between the pre-Mom levels (the Basement, Caves, and Depths) and the post-Mom levels (I know I took more damage, at least)? I didn't find any shops or item rooms in one and a half levels in the Womb - is that a coincidence, or do I need to just hope all my items from before Mom can get me through the rest of the game?


Can't fast travel in Skyrim

Skyrim Corrupt save

So I've been playing Skyrim on the PC and just noticed my game always crashes around the perimeter of quest item "Call Odahviing to Dragonsreach" on The Fallen. To go back to a save that is not corrupt, I had to go from save where i'm at level 93 to a save where i'm at level 85, which was on 3/27/2014. Needles to say, I've done allot since 3/27/2014. What I'm tried to fix corrupt save:   * Took out all mods   * Tried mod Rogue Script remover   * Tried mod SKYRIM Save Cleaner   * Tried scan disk for errors, which there were no errors   * Completely uninstall Skyrim   * Other things I can't even remember So I'm thinking because I can't recover my save, I thought of a few ways to work around the corrupt save maybe someone can tell how to do:   * Maybe using console I teleport myself to the location I need to be? This most likely won't work because it'll crash. However I'm willing to try it.   * Use the older save and with the console auto complete the main quest up to "Call Odahviing to Dragonsreach" on The Fallen.   * Some how fix my corrupt save! Anyhow, thanks in advance for anyone's help!


How to delete a building in pixel people

How do you install the Season Pass for Trials: Fusion on Steam?

I've right clicked on the game in steam, but I didn't see an install option, nor did I see it in the DLC section. The game told me I had to purchase it when I went to addition content, but Steam told me I didn't. And when I went to the redeem content place, all I saw was the wins, actions, friend, achievements and broadcast.


How do I get from this stalactite to a blue figment in the Brain Tumbler Experiment?

I'm going through the Brain Tumbler Experiment level (for what's technically the second time) and there's a blue figment on a cliff that I can see off in the distance. ![view of figment from platform](http://i.stack.imgur.com/U6xPU.jpg) I am able to grip the stalactite and move around it to position myself, but I can't see where I'm supposed to jump to from here. ![hanging onto the stalactite](http://i.stack.imgur.com/2u5xs.jpg) When I go further around it, there are brambles preventing me from landing on the edge if I try to jump in that direction. The branches that are visible in the screenshot haven't let me stand on them at all over several attempts. How can I get to that blue figment? I realize it's possible that I don't have the powers yet in order to do so, so if that is the case, what powers/PSI level do I need in order to reach it? I'm currently Rank 32 and have access to Pyrokinesis, Telekinesis, Invisibility, and Marksmanship.


How do I restore a Dragon Age 2 save file?

I reformatted my PC and ended up with a backup of my Dragon Age 2 files not getting recognized by my new Dragon Age 2 installation.

Is Armor granted by spells reduced if you have already hit the softcap?

I am only Level 7 with my Orc Dragonknight, but I have already hit the soft cap for armor: ![Screenshot of character attributes](http://i.stack.imgur.com/SlHYx.png) Now I can morph an ability to an extended version, which would grant me even more armor on activation: ![Screenshot of ability in question](http://i.stack.imgur.com/vFCDg.png) My question is if that additional armor would be reduced by the softcap and if you hit this said softcap that easy on max level too.


Best beginner method for producing MJ in big dig pack

What is the best way to produce energy in the big dig pack considering I have only just started. I have built a Tinker Table and a power gauntlet and I'm looking to produce enough energy to power the glove and what not. I am looking at solar generators, but is this the best method?

Why can't I log into minecraft with a mojang account?

I created a Mojang account and downloaded the Minecraft launcher, but when I started it up, I couldn't log in.

What am I supposed to do to log in and play?

"I main this champion" < what does this mean for real?

I always knew that the "main" term is used to specify your lane and/or champion specialty AFAIK, saying that your x champion is your main, means that you do have a deep knowledge and practise (or practice?) about the plays to make, the items, the matchups, mechanics, not to mention that is also the champion that suits you better to handle almost every situation. Now what if another person says "I main this champion in top, and I main this other in mid"? Is that ok to say, that the player "mains" more than one champion?

Can I get drops from the Overpass, Cobblestone, or Baggage Collection through regular gameplay?

I'm a little confused. I haven't received any mission drops yet, yet I have yet to see anyone receive any of the items from that collection through normal gameplay. Is the only way to get items from those 3 collections through doing missions, or can I get one of them through regular gameplay (i.e., casual, comp, etc.)


What's the meaning of the icons on the backside of Wii U games?

While building a database of Wii U games, I am struggling with the meaning of the hardware requirement symbols on the backside of the game. I can keep apart the symbols e.g. for Wiimote, Wii U Gamepad, USB stick and headset, but there are a lot of other symbols I don't understand. Is there a comprehensive list with possible Wii U input methods and accessoires, including the icons which can be found on a game's backside?

Treasure chest contents - new content in old world after upgrade?

So, yesterday I've installed Minecraft 1.6 "Horse Update". I tamed my first horse and now I'd like to obtain a horse armor. I've read Horse Armor is spawned only in treasure chests. Around my home there's a bunch of dungeons I still need to explore, and they surely contain some treasure chests. I've got most of the surface above them explored though. I'm fairly sure I can't expect the armor to appear in chests I have looted already. Now what about the rest? Did the chests under the chunks I have explored spawn already, with predetermined (pre-update) content? If I go exploring some new chunks, will their chests spawn the armor, or will they contain the old loot as pre-determined by the world seed when generating the world on startup?


Where does the damage of relocated dashes land?

The end location of a dash or jump can be changed by an ability that pushes (Flay) or pulls (Rocket Grab) you. So for example I try to Rocket Jump on the adc, but a Blitzcrank pulls me, preventing me from landing on my chosen spot. Will I deal my AoE damage around the adc, where I tried to land, or around the Blitzcrank, where I ended up landing?

What gives Steam XP?

From the faq I know that the following give XP:   * Crafting a badge ("most badges give 100 XP")   * Upgrading a badge (it looks the same as crafting a badge: mostly 100 XP)   * Years of Service badge (the faq is vague. What is the formula for XP gained?)   * "Special events on Steam also frequently have badges" (?) What other activities give XP? Are there any ways to get XP other than getting badges? Do regular achievements for Steam games give XP?

So I just downloaded EvE online after some time and the client wont launch. When I click on the app I see EvE dock icon jumping but nothing happens. I reinstalled the game but still same issue.
