Terraria: Is the Inlet and Outlet Pumps only triggered when the Switch/Lever is between both?

I've been searching many guides about wiring, with my true intentions being figuring where the switch/lever has to be at allowing the inlet/outlet device to function (as one of my creations didn't seem to function). However, no guides have fully explained to me **where exactly the switches need to be positioned at for the inlet/outlet device to function appropriately**. Furthermore, additional information/links about the inlet/outlet device in particular would be deeply appreciated. My issue could've been within the following:   1. I had already created another circuit which functioned well and transferred the water from 1 designated place unto another. Within this Circuit, I used red wiring and placed the switch far right, away from the inlet/outlet device.   2. However, I created my second circuit with blue wiring, clearly not touching nor trespassing the red wire at any parts. The switch is located far left and also away from both inlet/outlet device.  I understand it is hard to picture so I roughly drawn what I've done below.![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/q8hZp.png) Here's an in-game screenshot as well ![This is the snipped Screenshot](http://i.stack.imgur.com/ph6Cr.png)


Does World of Warcraft benefit from AMD CrossFireX or nVidia SLI?

I am now running two Radeon HD 6850's in CrossFireX configuration (Thanks to Stack Exchange and the LoL contest!). Does World of Warcraft support Crossfire GPU's in the sense that;   * Will there be any stability issues introduced from this setup?   * Will there be any noticeable improvement in graphical performance? There is a lot of discussion for both sides of this issue, so reputable testing or official sources would be preferred.


Downloading World of Warcraft for multiple computers

I want to install World of Warcraft on three different computers. Is it possible to download the complete game on one machine then copy to the other PC's? I searched the Battle Net Technical support Installations and Patches area but didn't see anything. I also notice that they have this "Streaming Launcher" which I don't really want to have to use on all three machines. I'm limited for bandwidth and would like to download the complete game overnight then copy and install. For example with Eve Online you can download the installer stub and the install payloads (e.g. community.eveonline.com/download/?fallback=1) directly. Is there something similar for WoW?


How much culture is required for a city to switch? For example, in my current game, a neighboring city shows 53% my culture, 46% it's original owners. At what % will the city join my empire?


Do both parties get the same technology out of a research agreement?

When a research agreement has finished and you receive your free technology, does your research partner receive the same technology? I would guess that both parties receive one of their respective "next" technologies, which may or may not be the same, right? Update: **This question has been made obsolete by the June 2011 patch.** Research agreements now give a tech boost instead of a free tech. Tech boosts start at 50% of the median value of all techs you can research. Can be boosted to 100% if you both start Rationalism and build the Porcelain Tower.


Is it possible to move the minimap?

As title says, been trying to ask on the Dota-2 ingame chats with no success. Can this be done? For long time League of Legends players like me, one gets used to have the minimap on the lower right corner, so it would be nice to move Dota's minimap to the same place.


Growing Trees above ground in Dwarf Fortress

> This is in reference to Dwarf Fortress 40d (v0.28.181.40d). Later versions > of this game have significantly changed the related mechanics. I just embarked on a map with 6 trees on it. There is a small (about 100 tiles total) bit of greenery, and the rest is a mix of red sand and felsite. If I pump water up and turn the ground muddy, will the forest spread? Would the muddy section have to be next to the existing green area?


How do I build a house for my NPCs?

I read on the wiki that people will move in under the following conditions:   * You do something to please them   * An empty house is available with a light source, table, and chair (also with walls). I have a house which is about 7x8, then a roof space above that; about half the area. I could put furniture up there too, but will anyone move in?


I cannot understand why this is not valid housing

These two houses are exactly like the house on the left. I have taken the wall out and put it back in multiple times and I really don't![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/7Ztnr.png) know what is going on this is making my brain melt

What are the requirements for a house in mobile Terraria?

"Housing invalid" Terraria XBOX 360

I have a castle in the sky. It is made completely out of stone bricks and walls. I have met ALL the requirements necessary and am still told it is not valid. I have 6 rooms in the upper part of my castle, 3 on the left-which are completely symmetrical to the 3 on the right. The rooms in the top corners are (from the inside of the walls) 7x4. The roomes in the middle are (" ") 8x4. And the rooms on the bottom are (" ") 10x4. The top rooms are high enough that it just barely starts to turn into space and while that _could_ be the problem, Steve the Guide used to live in the upper left corner. I left that world and when I came back, Steve was in a different room and his old one said it was invalid. The one right below it is also having problems even though I have Durim the demolitionist in the room on the opposite side. Like I previously mentioned, I made the rooms on the right _completely_ identical to the ones on the left. Complete with stone brick, stone walls (of which I went over again), 1 torch, 1 chair, 1 table/workbench and plenty of floor space. I don't have any platforms in the rooms and yes I have a door leading to each one. Thanks in advance for your help! :)

Is there a maximum size limit for valid housing?

I'm having an issue with my house after 1.2 and after researching any changes that may have been made My house is still invalid. It's all made out of stone and I've never had an issue like this before. My houses before 1.2 have been much bigger and much smaller but were always valid ![House not valid](http://i.stack.imgur.com/UFdw0.png) Is there a size limit to how large a house can be?

This is not valid housing. What is valid housing?

I built myself a decent sized house with a basement and it said it wasn't valid housing. So I built another one that is a very simple room with walls (dirt walls on the background, wood "walls") a door, two doors, a table, a chair, floors and light sources. I've gone over and over it and made sure there are dirt walls everywhere. It _still_ says it's invalid housing. I'm playing on Xbox 360.


Can I play with more than 1 player in Dungeon Defenders (demo)?

I just picked up the PC Dungeon Defenders demo (aka "Dungeon Defense" - I think they are changing the name for he full release). I quite enjoyed playing it single player with my XBox 360 controller. The preview movies and tutorial text reference a 2-4 player split-screen mode. Unfortunately, I couldn't figure out how to set it up. When I got to the player select screen, it seemed like I _should_ be able to add a second player, but I could not figure out how. I have 1 XBox 360 controller and mouse/keyboard. Can I play with more than 1 person, and if so how do I do it?


What parts can safely be automated and where should I micromanage?

I usually let all my worker units roam free on automation, unless I need a specific improvement _right now_. I usually never care about the tiles worked by a city, at most I may switch the priorities to production or gold for some time when necessary. My scouts and other exploring units are usually set to explore automatically… This does feel somewhat lazy, and I'm sure my empire could run more optimized if I tweaked everything by hand. On the other hand, micromanaging seems to become very complex very soon, to the point where I'd just keep missing opportunities. How much more should I care about individual details to maximize my efficiency? And where am I safe leaving the details up to the AI without it screwing me over?

What is the best map and team build to earn the Survival Onyx Medal in Gears of War Judgement?

I have been playing **survival mode** with some [in my mind] decent players I met in Gears of War Judgement and we have been having some troubles trying to earn the Onyx Medal for the **Survival mode: Survive wave 10 on insane difficulty (any map)**. Seeing as there is no way ( to my knowledge ) to start the wave on 10 - we have spent hours trying to earn this... _sad panda_ We have been experimenting with many different team builds and maps and so far we have discovered one map that [we figured] would be the easiest due to the map's natural bottleneck. We picked the map estate as in the last section where we have to defend the generator, there is a tight bottleneck that we can focus our firepower & explosives into. (see the map below) > **Key:** > >   * 1) First Defending section > >   * 2) Second Defending section > >   * 3) Third (final) Defending section > >   * Green Circle = proposed main defense area (bottleneck) > >   * Orange Circle = Wretch flanking side > > ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/fbK0d.png) Sorry for the poor paint skills and small map picture (best I could find). Each class that we can choose from has its different perks: **Medic** = Stim grenades (heals and revives), **Engineer** = Turret and repairs, **Scout** = Spot grenade that debuffs any attackers (they take more damage), and **Support** = Ammo grenades and Booshka (grenade launcher) As mentioned before, we have tried multiple builds such as:   * 1 Medic, 1 Engineer, 1 Scout, 2 Support   * 1 Medic, 3 Engineers, 1 Scout   * 1 Medic, 3 Support, 1 Scout   * 1 Medic, 4 Support **We were able to get to wave 9 with the 1 Medic, 4 Support build. Our Methodology was this:** > All support members spam booshka grenades into the bottleneck (Green circle > on the map) while rotating ammo regen. The Medic covers heals and the wretch > flank (orange circle). If anyone gets through ( ticker or wretch ) the medic > would be the only person to run back to the generator. **Our potential downfalls _IMHO:_**   * The medic shouldn't be the one to leave us as it takes away our heals and coverage of the wretch flank.   * While we are getting ammo from our regen packs, we are all extremely close to each other, seceptable to a team wipe (everyone dying) by an explosion. I am open to any ideas/methodologies/builds/etc to get this Onyx medal. _Side note: I know the title of the question may appear subjective - but I am open to ideas for renaming the question._


Where the hell is my Hydreigon?

My _Pokémon White_ cartridge has Hydreigon as Caught, which means that at one point I had one. It's not there any more, and I kind of need it.   * I can't find it in any of my PC boxes, or in my current party.   * It's not at the daycare.   * I didn't trade it. I only have one other cart and it only has Hydreigon as Seen, not Caught, so it can't be there.   * I didn't release it. I never release Pokémon.   * It can't have evolved. Hydreigon is the final evolution of its line.   * I don't think I traded it to friends or online.   * I don't think there are any in-game trades that accept Hydreigon, but I could be wrong.   * It's not tucked in to the Dream World.   * It's not in the Battle Box. Where the hell could it be?

Emulator problems with Brigandine

I have a scratched copy of Brigandine, an old game by Atlus on PSOne. I also have a PSOne. Now that we got that out of the way ... I'm having trouble emulating this game from a ROM, and all of my google searches have lead to dead-ends. When I try with _ePSXe v1.70_ , I can load it, start a new game, choose a faction, but that's it. It freezes at the loading screen afterwards. When I tried with psxFin 1.13, it loads the game, however the main title screen 'flickers', and I can only get passed it by quickly hitting `X` button, but for some reason it auto-picks the "Iscalio" faction. (The one ruled by King Dryst). Has anyone ever tried to emulate this game and done so successfully?


Why do building prices change in Rome 2 Total war?

I was going to upgrade my Roman City to Roman Colonia in one of my cities and I noticed that the price went up. One turn it was 3700 like it is on the Enclypedia (and also in one of my other provinces the price is still 3700), but one the turn I was supposed to start the upgrade, the price had went up to 5365, meaning 45% increase. I have no idea why this happened. Anyone else have ideas?


Where can I find more "Omega" equipment?

In a recent multiplayer game, one of my teammates dropped an odd shield the likes of which I'd never seen. They stood there and kept shooting at it for awhile, so I presumed they meant for me to pick it up. The shield card stats are below:   * Name: Ironclad Omega   * Manufacturer: Pangolin   * Rarity: Pearlescent   * Capacity: 214748   * Recharge Delay: 10   * Flavor Text: I stand unvanquished! The Alpha and that other thing.   * Value: $9,999,999 When I equip the shield, however, my shield's maximum charge doesn't match the card's stats - it tops out at 2147483647! Additionally, it seems the shield never _actually_ depletes - no matter how many hits I take, it stays maxed. I'm effectively invincible! In the same multiplayer game, I noticed one team member (not sure if it was the same) was an "Omega" class. So, this got me to thinking there might be more "Omega" type equipment to find. Is there more equipment like this (weapons, grenade mods, COMs)? Or did I just pick up someone's hacked shield? If there is more, where and how can I find it?

Can I skip levels to get the "no damage" achievements?

Several items in the _Binding of Isaac_ allow you to skip a level without facing the boss ( _We Need to Go Deeper_ and the _Teleport!_ item, though teleporting is a less reliable form of level skipping). I've managed to get all "no damage" achievements except the one for _The Depths_ , mainly due to the abundance of _Leapers_ on those levels. Whenever I unlocked one of said achievements, it was always the instant I defeated the boss on the second floor for that level, making it seem like the two are tied together. So I was wondering, suppose I simply skip through the second level without having incurred damage on the first (possibly skipping some or most of it as well), will I still get the achievement?

How to play Civilization 4?

I have never played any _Civilization_ -series games before. But i love strategy games. I have already played some turn base strategy games. But _Civilization 4_ looks different for me. In the other games, there will be some initial workers. I use them to get food/metal/wealth/build. Then build an army. But in _Civilization 4_ I am not able to do any of the things that I used to do in other games. I am not able to build anything, not able create workers/warriors. I am not even able to move the existing worker who comes with the game start up. What do I need to know to start with this game? Is there any online material kind of documentation for this game. Any help/links would be appreciative!

How do I get the item outside of the chapel above the Blacksmith Andrei?

Above the Blacksmith Andrei, there is a small chapel with a podium or altar. (I'm not talking about the chapel with the Balder Knights and the Fire Keeper Soul.) To the right of that altar there is a wall with a crack in it. When I look through that crack, there appears to be an item of some sort on the other side. I haven't been able to break the wall with any of my attacks. Is it possible to break it? If so, how? If not, is there an alternate way to get to that item? What is the item on the other side?


Best farming place to get ready for Inferno

Recently I've unlocked Inferno and I was uber happy. Until I encountered first group of elites. Now I'm at `A1Q3` when I have to go out of the New Tristram from the north exit. And there are always groups of elites that kill me about 7-10 times before I can kill all of them. So I decided to farm a bit in Hell. Right now I'm farming Zoltan Kulle and Belial(getting lvl 5 `Nephalem Valor` before encountering them ofc.), but the items seem to be too weak for Inferno. So the question is: where should I farm items to be ready for Inferno? And I don't think I can kill Hell Diablo myself yet.

Are there any issues with an Xbox 360 sent from the US to India? I'm selling mine on eBay and I'm wondering if the guy will be able to play the games I'm sending along, and would he be able to play on Xbox Live as well? Or login to a Live account? A friend told me that Microsoft has region-locked Xboxes and so they don't work outside the country of purchase. Is this true or false?


Are console games locked to a certain region?

I'm going on a vacation from Europe to the US and was planning of bringing along some Xbox360 or PS3 games, but now I'm curious if they will be compatible with my European Xbox. In that past there would be a clear difference between NTSC and PAL games, but is this still the case with the current gen of consoles?


I am planning on going out to Pakistan

I am planning on going out to Pakistan soon and I am wondering if I should bring my Xbox 360 for a friend that stays there, Would the Pakistani games work on my Xbox 360?


Do choices affect the story?

There are several points where you have to make small choices in To The Moon, notably at the beginning when you have to chose between the two characters. Does that choice affect the game a lot? I remember mostly controlling Dr. Neils after choosing him, but would choosing Dr. Rosalene mean that you see the story from her point of view? All in all, how linear is To The Moon?


How do I get the last prism in Mystic?

Mystic has a prism towards the end of the run that is in a really hard to reach place, and I can't figure out how to get it. I have managed to summon the bird, and I figure that it's related to getting the last prism there, but I'm lost beyond that. Does anybody know how to get the last prism?


Can you use the darkness to hide?

In many stealth games you can hide, and lay bodies in the shadows / dark places to remain undetected. Can you do this in Dishonored, or the only thing that counts is cover behind objects?


Exactly how linear is Final Fantasy XIII?

I was thinking about buying FF XIII but was am a little concerned about the talk about how linear the game is. I have enjoyed most of the previous Final Fantasy games so I was wondering if its linearity can be compared to any of those - for example I'd say that FF X was fairly linear too, but it was fun nonetheless. So can anyone tell me how the linearity of FF XIII compares and how it feels like?


How can I use the shield to reflect projectiles?

I've seen players reflect lasers with just the normal shield. Is there a special button combination?


Can a certain elemental resistance get high enough for it to heal you?

Is it possible to increase a resistance to a point where that element actually starts to heal you? For example, if you get very high poison resistance, will it eventually start healing you at a certain point..or does the resistance amount max out at a certain point. I read a comment in chat where "poison" was healing him, so I was curious about this.


PULSE Elite Headset & Xbox 360

Can I use the PULSE Elite headset for voice chat on the Xbox 360? I know it connects to the PlayStation via USB, and can connect to other devices by linking a 3.5 mm cable to the USB dongle. Is the dongle directly compatible with the Xbox? If not, is there another way to connect it in such a way that will allow voice chatting with the built-in microphone while also getting game and chat audio through the headphones? * * * Some testing so far indicates that the dongle is not at all Xbox-compatible. It can use the Xbox for power, but that's it - won't even output sound to the headphones without any other attachment. I've successfully tested the PULSE Elite as a wired headset for my phone, so it may just be a matter of getting an adapter for the standard 3.5 mm plug to go to the 2.5mm jack on the controller. * * * Further research seems to indicate that if I do manage to get it working through the controller, it will only be handling voice chat audio - no game audio output there. That would be a fair buzz-kill, if it can't be worked around.


Do you need premium to change your gun camo?

I do not have a premium account but I wish to be able to change my gun camo. Do I need to be a premium player or is it just a matter of rank before I can change it?


How many theme unlocks are in ASYNC Corp.?

I've unlocked four so far. They appear to unlock based on the number of "units" you produce. The fourth theme _seemed_ to take longer than the previous three, but I've been playing a long time without unlocking anything else. Am I just driving myself crazy? Without Game Center support for achievements or leaderboards, unlocks are kind of my only motivation to play this game, as wonderful as it is.


Can't dodge dragon's breath

I know this has been asked before but I just can't get the hang of dodging a dragon's breath. Everyone says that Whirlwind sprint or stealth roll should do the trick but every time I try it, the dragon is "locked on" to me and it's body actually rotats with my move, making it impossible to move out of fire. So far the only reliable way I've found is abusing LoS or bashing/unrelenting force.

How can I beat level 1-25 of Aporkalypse?

I'm playing level 25 of the first part of Aporkalypse (an android game). On the left side there's a key and a target but I can't figure out how to get both of them. I end up boxing myself in or falling down and getting stuck. How can I solve this? Maybe there's an extra box I can use, do you know?


How do you get to level 36 in Candy Crush Saga?

After half a weekend spent on conquering Candy Crush Saga levels, I have finally arrived at level 36. Unfortunately, there seems to be a "barrier" of sorts to start playing this level, with two options:   1. Ask your Facebook friends for help   2. Buy a ticket for $0.99 While option #2 is extremely cheap, I'm curious what option #1 entails. I am personally extremely annoyed when I get enormous amounts of requests from Facebook applications and I don't want to annoy my friends this way. While I know selecting option #1 sends a request to my Facebook friends, what happens after that?


Friends do not get requests

I am stuck on level 35. I need 3 friends to unlock the level, but I have tried sending the request and none have received my request. How do I unlock the level?


Strategies for an Infiltrator on silver/gold

Is there a good build that allows an infiltrator to succeed in silver/gold multiplayer? Cloak is also great at putting me in a support role to get over and medi-gel my comrades but I came to party :) I've been tinkering around with the suggested cloak/sniper rifle/shotgun style of playing, and it certainly isn't too shabby. However, can I maybe use sticky grenades to increase the damage I'm putting out? Any other suggestions?

Chess: The Gathering tutorial?

Chess: The Gathering has little to no documentation in its current state, and I have absolutely no idea what's going on. Is there a manual or tutorial for it somewhere?


Why did I lose my Crest (Ribbon)? Am I being punished?

I recently played a whole bunch of games on ARAM where you have to play a random champion. I am not the best at figuring champions out in 10 minutes but I barely did any worse than anyone else and even did awesome comparing to anyone else when I got a champion I was familiar with. The fact is that after playing there I lost my ribbon. I still have all my honors. I did dodge one game because I thought something was happening but that is the first game i dodged in my life so i don't think that is the reason why I lost my badge. Any idea what has happened?


What do the different Wield Styles do?

Depending on race and equipped weapons, characters can use various wield styles: One-Handed, Power Grip, Dual Wield, Two-Handed, Quad Wield and Dual Power Grip. How do the different styles compare and how should one choose which to use? Does the One Handed style benefit from an empty second hand, a shield or a second weapon?


How does the Oculus Rift affect TF2 gameplay?

For those who don't know, the Oculus Rift: http://www.oculusvr.com/ I've seen multiple videos of the OR in action in Team Fortress 2, but I'm very confused as to how you control it and/or how it could positively/negatively impact gameplay. To those who have used the OR in TF2, what are some definite gameplay-changers that you've seen? Does it give a significant advantage/disadvantage over non- OR players?


Why would I want to turn off the Ring of Basilius?

Where is the third farmer in New York?

Unfortunately this game is not free of bugs. In this case, markers disappear and never show on the map so it's hard to locate some targets or fast travel targets (forts, underground entrances, etc.). One that is very annoying is one of the assassin liberation missions in New York Northern District. There are three farmers that need protection but only two markers appear for them. I've gotten two already and I believe they were here: ![first two farmers](http://i.stack.imgur.com/A4JOC.jpg) **Where's the third farmer?** This mission is preventing me from getting my last assassin recruit...


What factors decide if an engine overheats or not

I made some strange observations regarding engine overheat.   1. When you place 4 RT-10 solid-boosters radial around a 5th, the outer boosters will overheat and explode before they are burnt out while the center booster survives. When there is a difference I would rather expect the inner booster to overheat first because it's surrounded by heat sources.   2. A Mainsail rocket engine with a Jumbo-64 fuel tank on top will quickly overheat and burn out when emptying it on full power, but the same rocket with two X200-32 fuel tanks (which together have the same mass and carry the same amount of fuel) will not. What exactly are the factors which determine how fast an engine overheats?

How to complete the P.T. Demo on PS4?

I have played the P.T. (Playable Teaser AKA Silent Hill) Demo a few times but always get stuck at the very end and seem to be in a constant loop. I know there is some sort of sequence that needs to be performed to be able to stop the looping corridors and to reveal the end video but no matter how many different sequences I try it never seems to work. **I've tried many of the walkthroughs online but none seem to do the trick.** **Has anyone actually completed it?** and what sequence did you use?


Can I add Defiance to my Steam account?

What happens when a vehicle is "disabled" in Battlefield 3?

In a tank, it seems to slow down and catch on fire which will slowly "bleed" the tank. Is that all?   1. Does this happen right at 50%?   2. Does repairing above 50% relieve the affects?   3. Are the affects the same for all vehicles? It can definitely be frustrating to disable an air vehicle, yet watch it fly away and recover!

The game isn't hard that hard now that I have this base:![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/9ug1u.jpg) When I start new games it is really hard because of the new game mechanic where goblins follow roads, but in the late game this is not a problem at all.


How can I find out what missions are available in Borderlands?

As I make my way through the main storyline, Claptrap will randomly appear in the top-right and say something like: > Greetings, Person X has more jobs for you at Place Y. Or similar to that. Unfortunately because I mostly play late at night and my room is adjacent to someone else my dad boards out to, I have to have the volume extremely low and I don't hear what person or where I can get the new mission. Is there a log of what Claptrap says somewhere maybe?


Which creatures can follow you through or otherwise open doors?

I would love to know which creatures can follow you through a door. I could test this myself, but as I only have access to a console version doing so would be arduous, to say the least. **Bonus question** : If a creature can open 'swinging'( i.e. a door that will physically move and not just load another game zone ) door can they also open a 'loading' door, and vice versa?


Are these Portal challenges impossible?

I am playing `Portal: Still Alive` on XBox 360. In the challenge maps, there are advanced levels for chambers 13-18 named like "14: Advanced" and just like the standard chambers, they have medal challenges in least portals, fastest time, and least footsteps. The targets for these challenges appear to be _exactly_ the same targets as their standard counterparts. For example, the `Testchamber 13` least portals challenge gives bronze at 9 portals, silver at 5, and gold at 4. `13: Advanced` also has bronze at 9 portals, silver at 5, and (presumably) gold at 4 even though the chamber is modified. Also, from what I can gather online, the Orange Box version of the same game didn't have medal challenges for the advanced chambers at all (and still had the same medal challenges for the standard chambers). These facts cause me to believe that the appearance of medal challenges for 13-18 advanced chambers was merely a oversight in the `Portal: Still Alive` version of the game. Are these medal challenges impossible as I suspect? EDIT: I care more about whether the medal challenges were _intended_ than _impossible_. I am aware that gamers can often find ways to perform unintended shortcuts and therefore it might be easier to answer "are they intended?" than "are they impossible?"

What do I do against the infamous "gank squad"?

In League of Legends, a "gank squad" can loosely be defined as: > a team of highly coordinate players who focus on demoralizing and map > control as opposed to traditional tower pushing and lane control. These are usually teams of 3 with bursty and/or stun-loaded champions (such as Singed, Vayne, Poppy etc), who sneak around picking off loan champions trying to jungle or hold a tower. This naturally causes a change in behavior for the opposing team to be more paranoid and lose ground as a result (usually due to their ally's doing the dirty work and failing pushes). This tactic has proven highly effective and difficult to coordinate against. What strategies are effective to counter these "gank squads" to prevent them from demoralizing a team and preventing effective jungling?

BuildCraft Filler with Saplings

I'm trying to build a self-contained automated tree farm with redwood trees. The main problem I have is how to replant saplings. So I thought I would use a BuildCraft filler with height 1 to fill in the area with saplings. The problem is that in testing, a filler will only plant a single sapling and never move beyond that: ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/ygEAX.png) You can see the result in this image. The filler is programmed with nine bricks in fill mode, and powered by a full redstone energy cell. If I take the redwood saplings out of the resource area of the filler and use cobblestone for example, the area is instantly filled up as expected. But then if I use redwood saplings, it stops like the picture above with just a single sapling in the corner. Is there a way to get this to work, or is there some limitation to a filler that prevents using saplings? Is there another method in Feed-the-Beast to replant saplings over a large area?


Why can't I run some of my games well (whether on low or high settings) with my AMD 7850 with AMD FX-8120?

My desktop is currently running the following:   GPU: Sapphire HD 7850   CPU: AMD FX-8120   Motherboard: GIGABYTE GA-970A-UD3   RAM: 8GB   PSU: Thermaltake TR2 TR-500 500W (I used to have the Cooler Master Extreme 2 625W, but a friend suggested that that PSU might have been the problem so I changed it to the Thermaltake PSU.)   OS: Windows 7 When I built my desktop I hoped that these specs would give a relatively good gaming experience but I've found out that my computer is struggling to run not very graphically intensive games (XCOM, GTA IV, Antichamber). The frame rates will drop extremely low even when I have the graphical settings at their lowest. For example, I can't run GTA IV for more than 2 minutes without the screen getting really choppy to the point that it's unplayable. Same with some other Rockstar games. Could someone help me figure out why this is? I mean, shouldn't those specs be able to run games pretty well?

Why are bullet speed calculated by hitboxes?

I looked at these videos: http://www.wegame.com/watch/TF2_Hitboxes/ http://kotaku.com/208662/the-ugly-hi...f-css-hitboxes I don't understand this. Why are the engines compensating for bullet speed by putting the hitboxes in front of the characters? It looks like the engine calculates the bullet trajectory using infinite speed, and then compensating for bullet speed by moving the hitboxes in front of character. Isn't it better to have the bullet have a real speed, and then always have the hitbox on top of the character model? That would also allow for different weapons to have different speeds, and also have correct speed based on distance.


If I reverse engineer a stack of items, what happens?

I had three Compact Medpacs in a stack. If I reverse engineer and right-click the whole stack is reverse engineered and I get some resources. I did this once by accident and wasn't paying attention to how much I got. Will get a proportional amount, or is it better to reverse engineer individually? How about my chances of learning a new schematic? Same if I reverse engineer a whole stack, or better if I do it individually?

How can I contact server admins in Battlefield Bad Company 2?

When a server has clearly posted rules and someone's violating them, I point out the offender's sad counter-social behavior by chat--politely, twice. If the behavior continues (it always continues) I get the irresistible urge to tattle, hoping somebody will kick the putz. What's the best way to contact admins? General chat? I've read that some servers (BC2CC?) support chat-based directives like !admins and !calladmin, but I've never gotten them to work. Maybe I'm doing it wrong. Can I tell whether I'm on a server that supports them?

Can you encounter lower tier aliens in the late game?

I'm on my first XCOM: Enemy Unknown playthrough on Normal and am just about to enter the end game. I've finished the Gollop Chamber and got one of my soldiers ready to use it. However... I'm kind of an achievement wh*re, as such I'd like to complete as much achievements as possible on this easier run. I'm planning to start a Classic Iron Man after I've finished my current one. I haven't captured all possible aliens yet (like Sectoid Commander & the Outsider) but as I'm currently in the end phase, I'm not encountering them (although I seem to run in a lot of thin men). Does anybody know whether it's still possible to get my hands on those types of aliens this late in the game? Thanks!


How do I get the "Fasting" title in the Fire Starter stage of Half Minute Hero?

How do I rendezvous and dock with a ship in orbit?

I've been watching video tutorials and doing some Googling, but I just haven't been able figure out exactly how you're supposed to rendezvous with a ship in orbit. I always either end up somewhere in its orbit where it absolutely isn't, or in an orbit with terrible intercepts but no idea how to fix it. As a concrete example: how would you dock with a ship in a circular orbit up at 250 KM? What would your aphelion and perihelion be at every stage? And most importantly, when you mess up completely, how do you fix it?


How can I increase my maximum mana?

I've been playing on Inferno for a while now, and I constantly feel like I'm running out of mana during fights. I understand that mana will never be unlimited and I'll have to use some conservation techniques, but it would be nice to boost my starting pool, which is currently at 877. Are there stats that boost maximum mana for Witch Doctors? Are there other ways to increase maximum mana that are permanent? I'm not looking for temporary solutions, like keeping 5 stacks of Soul Harvest at all times. **Edit:** I'm already sporting a ceremonial knife, mask, and mojo. I'd be looking for something beyond the inherent increase on WD specific items. I also understand that the answer may be "There is nothing you can do beyond skills and WD equipment."

Is it possible to move around during combat?

So far, whenever I have engaged enemies in combat while playing Chrono Trigger, I noticed that while the enemies might move around during the fight my party members stay completely still (unless knocked around by enemy attacks). This isn't too troubling, though there are reasons I would like to be able to move my party members around, such as to avoid being especially vulnerable to area attacks by spreading my party, or for making optimal use of attacks which hit all enemies in a straight line, for example. So is there any way to move party members around? I haven't noticed anything immediately obvious in the combat menu.


What is the decay rate for influence over City-States?

On normal speed, I've seen the decay rate for my city-state relations vary from 1 to 2.5 (without the social policy modifier). I think it is based on how nice I am to all the other city states, but haven't really figured out the exact formula. Is it based on their personality (Friendly, Hostile, Neutral, or Irrational)? Does pledging to protect them help?

I've finished Bioshock - now what?

I've finished Bioshock (and loved it). I played through with rescuing all little sisters first, then went back and harvested the 3 just before the proving grounds to see the other ending. I may go see Sander Cohen's apartment. **Is there anything else worth doing before I uninstall?** I was surprised to find the game was really finished, because the Bathysphere destination choice screen had 3 or so gaps when I saw it last (am I maybe missing some areas?)

How to deal with Planetary Fortress with Turrets as Zerg

I'm a platinum player Zerg and I have one huge problem with ZvT. If a terran manages to sneak expand somewhere on the map and build a planetary fortress and surround it with turrets, it's very hard to react. Even more so if the expansion is in another main with a ramp/choke. A PF with repairing SCV:s can withstand a ridiculous amounts zerglings/rouaches and same against mutas if turret repairing is done right. Then the terran can just rest with his tank army and as soon as you try to take the PF down by brute force, he kills your main/natural. The only ways I can deal with this is to go Broodlords or out expand my opponent, but it feels like there must be a better reaction to this. Anyone has any clever ideas to deal with such situations?


How do I change the back up dancers' choreography in Dance Central?

Here's an example of what I'm talking about. At first, I thought it had something to do with the song being DLC, but when I purchased the song, their choreography didn't change.

Fallout: New Vegas freezes when the game loads data. Is this a frequent issue?

I picked up Fallout New Vegas the other day for the PS3 and I am constantly plagued the game freezing. I've done some quick searches but haven't found anything that I would call "definitive" on the situation. When the situation occurs it seems to happen at the same time the game is loading data, as I often see small pauses when the game is loading up data. Some time those pauses become full on freezes. Does anyone know whether this is a frequent issue for other PS3 players as well? Any word on when a patch will get issued out?


Does the choice of ship affect difficulty?

I recently completed the game and unlocked the Federation Cruiser. I have previously unlocked the Engi and Zoltan cruisers, playing mostly using the Engi. I have only played on "normal" difficulty setting. Selecting the Federation Cruiser as opposed to the Engi or Kestrel cruisers seemed to greatly increase difficulty but I have not been able to find any documentation on this (wikis) so my question is: Is there some additional difficulty setting that is applied when selecting the Federation cruiser -- or perhaps second tier ships in general? Please note:   * I realize that different ships call for different strategies. That's not what I'm talking about. What I'm referring to as 'difficulty' here is the strength of enemies and the likelihood of good things happening. My perception is that enemies are far stronger earlier on in the game when using the Federation as opposed to the Engi cruiser, e.g. a Zoltan cruiser with three weapons as first encounter as opposed to a no-shield scout with two weapons.   * I am not complaining about the difficulty, I just want to understand what I'm in for. I never chose easy, enjoying the challenge of 'normal'.   * I understand that ship selection does not alter THE difficulty setting (the "EASY/NORMAL" toggle switch) I am assuming extra pain is being metered out in addition to the user difficulty selection.   * My suspicion is that the ships are organized in tiers, as the Zoltan cruiser in the same column as the Federation seems to unleash similarly levelled enemies. Would like to see it confirmed or denied, though.


Do non-boss enemies have weak spots where they get extra damage dealt to them?

I know that cutting as many limbs as fast as possible if fighting non-boss necromorph enemies, is a good way of taking them down fast. However, I asked this question because my currently preferred primary weapon for fighting most non-boss necromorphs is a Javelin Gun (Telemetry Spike + Default Tip), which unlike most of the other weapons, is not that good at cutting limbs. The Javelin Gun, however, is very accurate, hits almost instantly, deals a lot of damage and staggers enemies. A lot of necromorph enemies can be taken down by at most 2 bolts (if at 'Impossible' difficulty and with +3 damage upgrade chips at all slots), even if their limbs are _not_ cut off. So, **do non-boss enemies have weak spots that I could target to get the Javelin Gun or other weapons to do more damage to them, and killing them faster with fewer shots?** If yes, what are those weak spots? Do they have spots where they take less damage, too? Another reason I asked this question is to know if non-necromorph human enemies (foot soldiers of The Circle), have weak spots. **Will hitting non- necromorph human enemies in the head kill them instantly or faster?** (Even if I'm not using a Javelin Gun.) Will hitting them in the limbs do less damage?


How to equip Serana?

I've been trying to give her some new armour and the like and she doesn't seem to want to wear it over her default armour. Is there a trick to getting her to equip items? Armour specifically? If I can't upgrade her gear I'll go back to using Mjoll.


What external factors can give you an advantage in MOBA games?

While all games are different and some factors may not apply to all games within the MOBA genre, are there any _external*_ factors or systems common to most MOBA games that can give you an in-game advantage? Systems such as those that allow you to "buy power", or have a more experienced player coach you while you play. * _External meaning systems that are not apart of the gameplay itself._


Can I play as anyone else in Kirby's Return to Dreamland?

The likelyhood of me getting anyone else to play with me is pretty low, but I like the idea of being able to use Waddle-Dee/Meta Knight/King Dedede. Is it possible to play any part of the game as a different character when playing by yourself?


Are there ways to play Heroes 6 with an intermittent connection?

How often does Heroes 6 need to be online? I have a consistent internet connection but since it's just one of those USB sticks, the connection isn't reliable. I'm always connected but at times my ping shoots up and I get unceremoniously ejected to the Main Menu. Is there any way to make Heroes check conflux every few minutes or so instead of having to stay connected 100% of the time?


What is the base damage for fists?

I know Khajiit get a bonus from their racial ability: > Claws : Khajiit claws do 15 points of damage. But what is the regular base damage for fists in Skyrim?


Can I see enemy mines in BF3?

I can see friendly mines on my HUD and on the ground, but haven't ever noticed if I could see enemy mines (before I was blown sky high).


Disable balloons in Pyrovision / Pyroland

Is there any way to disable the balloon particles that appear on damage in Pyrovision? The problem with the balloons is they are opaque and huge and block everything, making it impractical to equip any Pyrovision item and use it seriously. They are also everywhere, since they appear if you hit anything or are hit.


Why can't I kill stealthily?

I have 100 sneak with all perks excluding the left branch (however, I have tried it with all the left branch perks as well). I'm currently at Knifepoint Ridge, on a quest to stealthily kill all the bandits. Although it's not necessary to kill the bandits stealthily, I choose to do so because I'm a stealth character. The problem is that whenever I sneak up behind a bandit and cut his/her throat stealthily with muffled boots, stealth rings and necklaces with 100 sneak the sleeping/awake bandits still manage to 'hear' something and say "What was that?" or something along those lines and follows up by detecting me. This has never seemed to happen before. Any advice?


How can I bring zombies down to one-punch kills in Minecraft?

There's something about zombies in Minecraft that if you merely drop them down 23 blocks for the fall damage, they take two punches to kill, rather than one punch like other mobs. (23 ½ is the same, and 24 blocks will simply kill them.) I’ve heard that this is due to zombies having “armor” (not visible armor, evidently) that has to be broken first (or perhaps it has something to do with the effects of rounding on armor damage reduction). **How can I automatically soften up the zombies a little bit more so that they only take one punch to kill** , preferably in a way which _ends_ in a drop of at least 11 blocks? The mechanism must be fully automatic and accept zombies arriving through a water stream. It's OK if the occasional real-visible-armor-carrying zombie still takes extra hits. * * * What _doesn't_ work: Fall damage and suffocation damage seem not to be able to “remove the armor”: I have not found any combination of two falling stages, or 1 tick of suffocation followed by falling, which will result in a one-punch kill. (If you have found such a combination then I'd love to see an answer with a complete design to demonstrate it!) There is the possibility of dropping mobs through lava, then water, which seems like it should work, but has the disadvantage that in order to prevent the mobs from swimming up in the liquids (thus dying to lava, or getting stuck in water), a simple tube would have to have, in order: a long drop, a lava block, (another long drop? not sure), a water block, and finally another long drop to the collection pad. This extreme height would make my underground zombie trap's plumbing poke up into my above-ground buildings.


How to solo Pyrocaustic Pete the Invincible?

Is he possible to beat solo? Getting through his shield is the easy part but how would you damage his actual health? He is resistant to both fire and corrosive so those are out of the question. I don't see how he can be beaten.


How does ARAM random pick work?

Curious if ARAM random pick is based off your owned champions or all 100+ champions. Have only gotten a chance to play 1 game and it seemed like it was based off my own champions but half my team said they were playing champs for the first time.


Farming isn't effective?

Does repeatedly farming a boss give reduced rewards? I've noticed while running through Terramorphous and The Warrior over and over, the drops are getting worse each time. By worse I mean any color of drops are getting rarer and the total sell value keeps going down as well. After beating the boss and looting everything I just do a save quit, then continue.


Is there any way to know how I got caught?

Perhaps the most annoying part about Uplink, is when you _think_ you've gotten away with something but you really haven't. A couple in-game days later or so, you suddenly find your Gateway shut down and you're disavowed. It's easy enough to find out _who_ caught you - just log in as your disavowed user, and you'll see. But what I often can't figure out is _how_ I got caught. In the most recent case, the job I was doing was of the "find financial details" sort. It's easy enough that it could be done straight after the Tutorial, if they allowed such low-ranked players to do these. I loaded up my usual route, which includes probably every server listed in InterNIC (and makes game failure that much more annoying to deal with). Then, I clicked twice on the target system - once to remove it from the loaded route, and again to put it at the end. After connecting to the bank, I entered in the target account as a username and let the Password Cracker have at it. A little bit later, and with the trace percentage still in single digits, I was in the account. I opened up my e-mail and sent a reply with the appropriate data. Then, I closed the connection and deleted my logs from InterNIC (InterNIC is always my first hop - I only delete my admin logon events, and the connection routing events). I'm fairly certain there's no way the bank should have been able to catch me, and yet it seems they did. Did I do something wrong, or is there always a not- too-small chance that the target gets "lucky" and discovers you even despite your best efforts? Is there any way to trace the source of my discovery, post- mortem?


Can I safely desynth raw materials from previous floors?

So far, it looks as if all the recipes you gain on one floor of the tower consist only of materials obtained from that floor. Once I have cleared a floor and crafted all its recipes, can I desynth all the left-over materials or do they come in handy later on?


Do different jetpacks have different physics in jetpack joyride?

There is a long list of different jetpacks in jetpack joyride. I see some of them are necessary for achievements, and they look cosmetically different, but I'm curious if they have different game physics (faster/slower lift, faster/slower descent). I haven't noticed a difference in the few I've purchased, but I haven't reached the higher end ones yet. As I've played the game a while, I've noticed that some obstacles are nearly impossible to avoid, and I'm wondering if that is made worse by the jetpack I'm using, or is just the nature of the game.


Is there an experience table for Evoland?

Is there a listing of the experience points required to get to each level? And perhaps what each level gives(defense, attack, magic, etc.) per character?


Do skill increases and perks increase the dual wielding attack speed?

From my recent experiences with a new dual-dagger wielding character, I noticed that repeatedly slashing with a single dagger seems to be equally fast as slashing alternately with two daggers being dual-wielded, and the simultaneous attack with both daggers (M1 + M2 tapped at the same time, not a power attack) was only slightly faster (counted as two strikes, one with each blade). Does dual wielding become noticeably faster late-game from skill increases and perks, so that a player desiring a very high attack rate would choose it over a single dagger?


Do Item Development unlocks persist in New Game +?

One annoyance with Hyperdimension Mk2 was that when you started a new game plus you lost a _lot_ of random progress, including unlocked item development items. You'd keep the recipe, but the items wouldn't be available in stores. Has this changed? Do I only have to unlock item dev items once in Victory or will I have to craft them once per cycle to buy them at a store?


Is lossy compression used on PlayStation Store games?

I downloaded the Bioshock Infinite 60-minute trial from the PlayStation Store. It contains the full game but the download was about 6 GB. I might buy the full game off PSN but I'm not going to pay full price (which is really just an unlock license for the trial) for a game with compressed video and textures. Can anybody with a downloaded copy and disc copy tell me if PSN titles are compressed? Spec Ops: The Line, which I downloaded, looks down right awful at times. Note: I'm aware the titles are probably losslessly compressed (eg: (7)zip, gzip, etc) and then extracted, but I'm referring to lossy compression made to the game's resources.


Where to begin playing Call of Duty storyline?

I have played _COD: Black Ops_ and now I want to play the complete series. I have COD: MW3, but I've started to think that it has backstory in previous games and I want to play the full storyline. So, which game should I play first to experience the storyline properly?


Civ 5 mod compatibility

In the vanilla version of Civ 5 (the mac version), is it possible to add new civilizations as a mod? Because I added this mod and when I enable it, no new civ shows up when I go to select them. I'm not going back to the main menu after I enable the mods, so I don't know what the problem is.


Binding Of Isaac sound problem

What ways are there to increase MECs' ammo efficiency?

I am early in my first playthrough of XCOM: Enemy Within, and it seems that one of the limiting / balancing factors in MEC performance is ammunition: The minigun seems to only carry ammo for two shots, and a single use of Collateral Damage exhausts it. What ways are there to improve the number of shots that a MEC can get between reloading? For example,   * Does the Ammo Conservation foundry upgrade apply to MECs?   * Is there something in the MEC skill tree to help with this?   * Are future MEC weapons more ammunition-efficient than the Minigun?

How do I complete the Destroyer of Destiny achievement?

The Destroyer of Destiny requires that you destroy all 4 Activated Pillars in the Royal Crypt at once. This can obviously only be done when going to face the Skeleton King. The pillars are placed a fairly good distance apart and all of the AOE or AOE- like attacks that I have tried with either the Monk or Demon Hunter have failed to destroy all 4 pillars. Replaying the section from when the Templar joins up to the pillars is getting tedious and I'm really at a loss. What character/attack/strategy should I use? Is this something where you need a 4-player co-op to achieve it or something (exact timing on this would be bananas)?

Diablo 3 party system and skipping content

When I join my friends game, I was on the very beginning of act 2 and he was on part 7 of act 2. It put me on his quest cause I joined his game I guess. I played for awhile until we almost beat act 2. When I left his party and went to 'resume' game, my game was now where I left off from his party. On the hero select screen, it looked like:               Act 2:     Part 1.Start Quest     Part 7. ---     Part 8. ---     Part 9. ---      What happened to 1-7 and can I "Start Quest" on Part 1 without deleting all of the progress I had made in the party with my friend? If it does reset my act 2 back to part 1, do I keep all the gear I have or is that reset too?? I don't want to skip any content but I want to play with friends!!! I could see this being annoying in the next difficulty level. I want to get an achievement for killing butcher, but im playing with my friend who is already past him, so I can't without resetting my whole game back to act 1... Can someone sum up how this works? Thanks.


Is there a difference between "waiting methods"?

In Mount and Blade you can "Wait here for some time" in a castle, a city, a town (if it has a manor I think?), and a camp. In addition you can just stand around in the field and wait. Is there a difference between these? Other than the obvious price and safety difference, of course. Are trainers more effective in a camp than when just waiting in the field for example? Do heroes heal faster in any of them?


Improvement values are not correct in Skyrim

According to this source and many others, with smithing skill at level 100 and all the smithing perks, I should be able to improve my armor by 20 points, but what I discovered is that it's not correct for me. For example Deadric Boots with 26 armor(which also doesn't match the wiki, it should be 18, and I don't have any perks in Heavy Armor) the improvement is to 42, so it's 16 points. I don't have any clothes, gear or active magical effect on me. Turned off all mods and it's still the same. What should I do?


How does bonus experience on weapons work?

I currently have a bunch of equipment that gives experience bonuses, **but how do equipped weapons give experience?** I have a sword that gives a +10 experience per kill, but do I have to use the weapon in the kill to gain the bonus? Since I am using the Witch Doctor as my class and most of my kills are from a distance with magic, so I wasn't sure how that worked.

Dealing with a strong laning combo early game?

In MOBAs (LoL, HoN, Dota, etc.) occasionally you'll get paired vs. a strong laning combo with heavy harassment potential in a dual lane (such that coming near the creeps to lasthit/fight/counterharass will only get your char's head bit off). In cases where you both can and cannot trust your laning partner (as in, you know he's good vs you know he's not good), what are your options to deal with this?

What does "c/o" or "co" mean on the Diablo 3 trade chat?

I've seen several times that people offer goods for sale on the Diablo 3 trade chat and add the letters "co" or "c/o" what do they mean by it? From the decisions it seems to be some kind of auction because the messages usually go like: > WTS [something] 50k c/o pst with offers > > WTS [something] 100k c/o pst with offers > > WTS [something] 150k c/o pst with offers > > [someting] 200k c/o going once > > [someting] 200k c/o going twice > > [someting] 200k c/o sold What do they mean exactly, and what does the abbreviation stand for?

Is it ever explained in universe how the three races can use the same resources?

It is somewhat feasible to assume that Terrans and Protoss use the same Materials for building their stuff. But how do the Zerg fit into this? It seems strange to me that the Zerg use the very same resources that Terrans and Protoss. I do not remember that there was ever a satisfactory explanation of this in game. I have to admit though that my last playthrough of Starcraft 1 has been several years ago, so I do not remember if it was mentioned there.

Why are my reactions times different on different applications

I'm a league of legends gamer and well this year I wanted to improve, I know a lot about the game as it stands and last year I had read an article on reddit that was about improving your reflex and reaction time. I only started taking that seriously this year. Here is the problem or question I would like assistance with. Currently I train my reaction time using the following:   * Human benchmark   * Aim400kg   * Sheep Dash And my reaction times are on avg as follows respectively: 280Ms, 245Ms, 180Ms. I wanted to know why is it they are not constant, I had expected them to be around the same but after creating a database and recording my results from human benchmark (aim400kg is a site I only started using today same with sheep dash). Well I noticed that there is a lot of inconstancy and I want to know why and how will this affect me in game and in my training as well. //edit To all of you who are misunderstanding my question. First of all the applications above perform the exact same thing the button that must be pressed is in one area it does NOT move, in each application you are told to wait for an event one is moving sheep one and the other is a button/control changing color and you click on it. NONE of them have any different aside from the fact that one has a sheep that moves and the other two change color. BUT the results are inconsistent EVEN though I feel i react at more or less the same time I simply wanted to know why they are different EVEN though they all performing the same function and all more or less look exactly the same so i completely do not understand the need for the down vote but i will take it to mean your ignorant of the meaning of the question and that is your loss.

Can StarCraft 2 be played offline?

I've always thought that Starcraft 2 was Always Online, but I was talking to a college today and I found out there was an offline mode which just lacks access to achievements or custom maps (like I care for either). I've boycotted StarCraft 2 when I read that it was Always Online play because I don't want my main gaming powerhouse connected to the internet. So does StarCraft 2 require any net connection to start a single player game? I'm not going to waste money to buy it only to learn I can't play it.

Question about saves from WoL carrying over to HoTS

In terms of story-line, are there significant changes to the "Heart of the Swarm" campaign due to the choices made from "Wings of Liberty?" If so, what saves are the choices taken from, the most recent WoL play through, or the first time you played it? I'm very curious to know.


If I replay WoL campaign and make different chooses, would it change HotS campaign a bit? [minor spoiler]

During one of the early missions in Heart of the Swarm, > Nova mentioned about how I helped Tosh instead of helping her, back in WoL.

What is the objective of Silvershard Mine?

After waiting in the queue for a while I finally entered the new Silvershard Mine Battleground. The Alliance was already losing at this point so I didn't really get a chance to figure things out from the start and everything was very hectic. I gathered that it has to do with the carts that spawn and moving them by standing in the circle around the cart, but what actually makes the cart move? How do you score points? I guess I am looking for a breakdown of the ins and outs of Silvershard Mine as there appears to be a lot more involved than a simple capture the flag.

How do I decide which weapons should be equipped, sold later, discarded, or kept and upgraded?

I would like to know good strategies with weapons I equip or keep in my inventory. Since I have a limited amount if items I can keep in my inventory, some weapons would have to be discarded once they're in low condition in favor of a new one or should be sold later. (I'm currently playing as Xian Mei.)   * What's a good way of knowing if the weapon I see or have is a 'keeper' or a weapon that should be discarded as soon as it is not needed or once it's in low condition, or if it's a 'sell later' type of weapon?    * Weapons will break down (get to low condition). Also, I will occasionally have to throw weapons to take care of enemies like Suiciders. Checking out the inventory and switching a weapon to/from the inventory won't stop the game, so I have to properly choose which weapons are equipped. (edit: Turns out this was due to not playing in singleplayer mode.) _What's a good way of deciding if a weapon should be equipped or kept in the inventory?_   * Upgrading a weapon costs money. _What weapons should I be upgrading or not upgrading (and hence, should sell or discard)?_   * I'm currently playing as Xian Mei, a sharp weapons specialist. If playing as her, _should I bother with blunt weapons? At what instances will it be recommended to keep a blunt weapon?_ Note: I have not played the first Dead Island game.

How do I counter Ayla's Rage ability?

I just finished a game of Awesomenauts where I was playing as Voltar. The enemy team had an Ayla who killed me at least 9 or 10 times with her Rage ability. I don't know what kind of build the enemy player was using, but as soon as they saw me on screen, they'd activate Rage, float up to me, and drain my health dry. The enemy player could move faster than I could so there was no way for me to get away. I only have around 10 online matches under my belt so I may not have a complete grasp of the game mechanics. (I had to read through the Awesomenauts wiki to even figure out what this infuriating ability/character that kept killing me was _called_.) What am I doing wrong? How can I counter this sort of play?


Do Mac Steam keys work for PC?

The Bioshock Infinite season pass (Steam key) is on offer at the moment, but only for Mac. Having already bought the stand-alone game Bioshock Infinite a while ago, if I buy this DLC, will I be able to activate and play the DLC on the PC? Essentially, what I'm asking is: > What is the difference (if any) between Mac Steam keys and Windows Steam > keys?


How can I access/play Kinect Fun Labs using the current dashboard?

I had Kinect Fun Labs and many of its mini-games installed on my XBox prior to the initial Metro/Tiles dashboard update of around a year ago. Now, after the latest dashboard update the files are still on my Xbox's hard drive (they show in Settings -> System -> Storage -> Games and Apps). But I can't find where to access/run it. There is a Kinect Central tile on the Dashboard's Home screen, but there doesn't appear to be any launcher for Fun Labs in there. It doesn't show up in the My Games list, or the My Apps list. Fun Labs can still be installed from this page on xbox.com Kinect Fun Labs but it shows as an add-on (it has the gamepad with a plus "+" sign over it), with no sign of which game or app it is an add-on to, the description also shows that its only 18months old (released 06/2011) I can't believe that an app would be so totally out of support already as to be inaccessible. I've tried deleting it and redownloading (from the link above) but that doesn't seem to make any difference either. Some of the mini-games in there were quite fun and I was hoping to play them with some young relatives who'd visited lately. Failing the above, is there any way to access the mini-games that were formerly hosted in Kinect Fun Labs, eg Googly Eyes, Bobble Head, Kinect Me, Build A Buddy, etc?
