What is the outcome of accepting the Virtual Families 2 "Talent Scout's" offer?

My 3 year old boy Jerry was playing in the lawn when a notification popped up saying that a talent scout was offering him a life of fame and stardom in Europe. I obviously said yes, because of the extra money and the fact that I had another kid to play with. My first kid was 10 when Jerry left, so now Jerry should be about 8-9 years old. My question is this: **How old will he be when he comes back home? Or will he come back at all?** Jerry is still present in my family tree, so I'm not sure whether he'll come back at one point or not. Thanks.


How do I change a spawner's type in Minecraft?

I want to change the type of my mob spawners on my server. My server is a vanilla server, as it has no mods. Is there a way I can edit it without mods? If not, is there a mod I can get to change them?


How do you make a Mob Spawner spawn enemies?

How can I protect my Cob Cannons?

How do you perform/setup a Co-Op Execution in Ryse?

Do you keep campaign achievements earned during an unfinished mission in StarCraft 2?

Thus far every time I have earned a campaign achievement in StarCraft 2 I have also finished its associated campaign mission. This is fine when playing a mission for the first time but on subsequent replays I'd rather just earn the achievement and then quit the mission. Which leads me to my question: if you don't finish or abort a mission do earned achievements stick?


I just found my first emeralds, and I'm scared to mine it lest I mine it with the wrong pick and thus lose it. I'm very early in my game, so I don't have an iron pick yet, but don't want to forget where the emerald is. I thought the wiki would have this information, but it doesn't appear to. What kind of pick does it take to mine Emeralds?


What exactly is a "guest pass" or "starter edition" and how do I give it to a friend?

I've seen "Diablo III guest passes" mentioned as a way to allow friends to experience a "demo" of the game. I have purchased Diablo III but going over my Battle.net account page I cannot find any way to give such a pass to a friend.   * What, exactly, does a guest pass mean? Is it time limited? Content limited? Both?   * How do I give such a guest pass to a friend?


I bought Diablo 3 from Blizzard, do I get guest passes?

> **Possible Duplicate:**   >  What exactly is a "guest pass" and how do I give it to a friend? I bought Diablo 3 from Blizzard's online store. Does this give me access to "guest passes" available in the retail boxes to let friends try out the game? And if so, where do I find them?


How to run Telltale games with PS3 controller?

Using MotioninJoy, I have been using a PS3 controller on Steam with games like _Rayman Legends_ , _Don't Starve_ , _Rogue Legacy_ and a few others. Even Steam Big Picture Mode recognizes the controller and works fine with it. It works fine for those games wired and wireless. But when it comes to _The Walking Dead_ or _The Wolf Among us_ it just doesnt work. Those games do not even offer any options under the "CONTROLS" option. This is wierd because on steam it says "Full controller support" for TWAU and "Partial controller support" for TWD. Does this only work with wired 360-Controllers or is there some work around to make this work?


Is there a place to get/view pro replays on Starcraft 2?

It would be cool if you could look at replays of people on the ladder, but until that happens can you download other people's replays? Is there a repository or something?


Where are the Act 2 lore books?

D3's lore books are broken into People, Quest, Bestiary, and World lore book categories, though they are discovered in areas/zones, not by those categories. I'm missing **"Missive to Maghda, Part 1" and "Hunter's Journal, Part 2"** (I thoroughly checked all five Hunter places), but a full list of all lore books, locations, and spawn conditions in quest order would certainly be more useful than only asking for the ones I need. Where are the Act 2 lore books, and when do they appear? ![Bestiary](http://i.stack.imgur.com/5nti5.png) ![People](http://i.stack.imgur.com/1ezFH.png) ![World](http://i.stack.imgur.com/Fbunc.png) ![Quest](http://i.stack.imgur.com/SQgas.png)

How much more damage is a "critical" XMP burster hit?

Sometimes when using XMP Bursters you see that you have scored a "critical" hit on an enemy resonator. Does anyone know the likelihood of a critical hit taking place and how much more damage (ie. is it double a normal hit) it causes?


Is it possible to see a user's achievements through the Battle.net web interface?

... or any other interface that would not require to log into a Battle.net game (World of Warcraft, Starcraft 2, Diablo 3) ? I can't seem to find it by logging in Battle.net, but perhaps I'm missing something.


Adapting game resolution to screen

I have a 1280x1024 screen and some games do not support this resolution. For example, DeusEx support only 1280×960. When it stretches to my screen, fonts gets very hard to read and I don't get the best image quality. Is there any way to get the black borders instead of stretching like on TVs? In the case of DeusEx that would get me 32 pixel high black lines above and bellow the game window but pixels would match. That doesn't mean playing in window, to be clear, that's still full screen. The same goes for older games that are limited to 1024x768.

Can we play Portal 2 co-op on one PC or Mac?

Is there a way to play Portal 2 co-op on a single PC or Mac? If so, do we need two keyboards, or two mice, or what? Do we need to buy two copies of the game? Note: The _wireless_ XBox 360 controller does not work standalone out of the box on either an iMac or Windows 7 PC. It needs a receiver as well. I thought it would be Bluetooth, but no.


How do you set up Portal 2 split-screen co-op on a PC?

> **Possible Duplicate:**   >  Can we play Portal 2 co-op on one iMac? According to this article and this steam forum thread, it's possible to set up a split-screen co-op in Portal 2 on the PC. To clarify: This is having 2 people on one PC with the same steam instance of Portal 2 both controlling their own character in the co-op campaign mode of the game. It's not supported out of the box by the menu interface. However, many have apparently gotten this to work by having either an XBox 360 PC USB controller or a gamepad controller that is configured to emulate one. The original forum post seems to work for most people, but not in all circumstances. There seem to be a lot of other threads in the wild with many different solutions. I figured G.SE would be a good place to post all the possible solutions and maybe arrive at a definitive method or process to follow to get this to work.


Miscellaneous quests disappearing from quest log?

Just as the title says, I've had quite a few miscellaneous quests disappear from my quest log, and it's starting to bother me now as I fear they'll never come back. I can't say for sure how many (or _which_ ) have disappeared, but I know for sure that the quest where I have to take the unusual gem to an appraiser was one of the ones that seems to have disappeared very recently. There may be more, but this one stands out in particular. Is there any reason why this has happened? Clashing quests perhaps or have I lost it/them forever? :(. Thanks! xx

What do distance units mean?

In XCOM configuration files, distances are expressed in some obscure units, that do not translate to grid cells easily. Example values:   * unit vision radius: 27   * most weapons range: 27   * sniper rifle range: 100   * soldier (and most enemies) run distance: 12   * thin man run distance: 15   * cryssalid run distance: 20 A soldier definitely does not run 12 grid cells straight. So, what are distance units in grid cells, and how distances are calculated diagonally?

Why doesn't my son have admin permissions on the server I purchased him for Minecraft PE 0.8.1?

My son is only 5, he just started playing Minecraft a week ago. I don't know anything about the game at all. I purchased a server for him through potpotsie so he's able to play with his friends and other people. He's able to access his server but it does not recognize him as the owner of the server. the admin or whatever you guys call it. I've tried asking other people, I've emailed the place I purchased the server from (with no answer, of course,) watched probably 50 youtube tutorials and I've googled until my fingers have turned red. I just don't understand what I'm doing or not doing correctly that it isn't recognizing him as the server admin. Any suggestions?


How does Quetzalcoatl's legendary ability interact with Creeping Death?

Quetzalcoatl has an interesting legendary ability: > Locust Swarm and Haunt now deal their damage in half of the normal duration. Creeping Death is a new Witch Doctor passive that also affects Locust Swarm and Haunt: > Your Haunt, Locust Swarm and the damage amplification from Piranhas last > almost forever. The former is nice because the DoT damages enemies twice as fast. The latter is nice because the DoT lasts forever and you don't have to reapply over and over. If you have both, what is the end result? Does the DoT do damage twice as quickly _and_ last forever? Is one of the bonuses neglected in favor of the other?


Can I use more than one power/mutator at the same time?

I have Wings of Liberty, but I am thinking of getting HoTS. My code for Wings of Liberty has been used on my locked account.

Why can't I connect to any Minecraft servers with Ubuntu?

Okay, so for the past few weeks, I've had a problem with Minecraft. The problem is that when I play on a new server, I log in and everything is fine, but after about 4 or 5 minutes playing, the game kicks me from the server and I can't reconnect. In the server list, it says "Can't reach server" and when I try connecting to any server, the connection times out. I even asked my friend that has a server to look at the console of his server, and when I got kicked, it says connection lost, generic.reason. And when I try connecting to the server, my connection attempt doesn't even show up. Help!


If I have multiple bases, which one will produce units?

In Blizzard real-time strategy games, you must click on a building before building a unit. If you have two barracks, the unit you build will emerge from the barracks you queued it in. In _Command & Conquer 3_, units are built from an ever-present bar at the side of the screen. If I have multiple barracks and I build a unit from the side bar, how do I know which building it will emerge from? What about when I have multiple bases spread across the map?


How do I get past the Ogre in Dragon Age 2 Demo?

I can't seem to find a way to kill the Ogre in the DA2 demo. It appears to be possible, as he goes down to 30% health, then I run out of breath (and potions) and eventually die. Is there a fool-proof strategy to deal with this guy and his darkspawn buddies?

Where is Deathwing?

Dude, Where's My Horse?

So, my faithful steeds have had a history of, well, _draconic_ incidents recently, and so, when leaving Solace, to head out in search of the Steed Stone recently, it occurred to me that procuring a new Equine conveyance would be wise. The fine stableman over at The Solitude Stables, near Katla's farm, a trustworthy seeming fellow named Geimund, informed me that his horse was amazing, and availiable for a mere 1000 Septims. I agreed to his price, and 1000 Septims poorer, was informed that it was 'the one with the Saddle'. However, the horse with a saddle in this stable does not seem to be interested in turning into a plane or tasting like raisins, or showing me the universe. Hell, this horse isn't even interested in being ridden by me - at least, not if I don't want to be branded an inveterate and unpardonable _Horse-Thief_ by every guard from Solituide to Markarth. Why don't I own the Horse with the Saddle now? Is there a different horse with a saddle that I paid for? Did it wander off? There are only two stalls at the stable, both are occupied by horses, only one has a saddle, and the ride option for both are in red. I just want a new pony. :(

How do I build a magma-safe floodgate in Dwarf Fortress?

I'm having difficulty doing this. I have access to things that are supposedly magma-safe, such as Alunite but when I try to build a floodgate using my Metalsmith's Forge, Alunite is not on the list of materials I can use to make it. I can't see any way to smelt it either. I think I have another few stone types that are magma safe as well, but they are not on the list either. What am I doing wrong?

Among them "Cosmic Power", a mysterious boost that's locked to me. ![Cosmic Power - Get this Boost if you join Team Rainbow today!](http://i.stack.imgur.com/8n1nH.png) I don't actually use boosts because muh coins, but I'm still curious because of the outrageous price it demands (669 coins _and_ running for Team Losing Losers). Anyone know what exactly it does? I don't really want to pay a double traitor fee to find out.

In `Just Cause 2`, Steam version, there is an achievement called `Trying Anything Once` that says " **Drive all 104 vehicles** ". But is 104 the number of vehicles with DLC or without? What is then the total number of vehicles that you can drive in Just Cause 2 with all DLC?


BF3 constantly crashes

I bought the game a few days ago, and since then the game crashes a lot when trying to launch. It doesn't give me any message, just "stop working". When i'm already in a game 1 out of 10 tries it'll play normally and doesn't crash. Hope you can give me a solution, hate it when it happens. My Hardware:   * GTX 760   * 8GB RAM   * i5 3330


How to kill Merasmus, and where are the typical prop spawn points?

If you don't know what you're doing, Merasmus is a tough nut to crack. He's got plenty of HP, wide range attacks, he hides as a prop at half and ~10% health and a short timeout. Where does he hide? What's the best way to deal damage to him while he's vulnerable?


What field moves are available and what do they do?

Obviously all of the HMs are usable outside of battle, but there are also moves such as Teleport, Flash, and Sweet Scent which are usable outside of battle as well. What are all of these moves, and what effect do they have in the field?


How can I see the status of my favorite servers without logging in to the game?

I have a short list of servers that I visit whenever I play TF2. Sometimes these servers are well-populated, other times completely empty. When I unwind at my computer, I'd like to check to see the status of those servers before launching the game. How can I see how many people are on a specific TF2 server without using the in-game server browser?


How do you get the "Discriminating Buyer" achievement in CoD MW3

A friend and I are trying to get the "Discriminating Buyer" achievement that is available with the DLC pack that include the "Special Delivery" Spec Op. The achievement text says: > Use exactly one of each care package in the "Special Deliver" Special Ops > mission. We've run it a few times, and not gotten the achievement. I get that you need one of each package, but two things cause confusion:   1. A "Self Revive" package drops right when the mission starts. Does this package count, or do you need to call in another one?   2. The text says "use" one of each. In order to "use" the self revive, do you just need to call it in and pick it up, or do you actually need to get downed and get up?


Does being launched by an enemy soldier's rocket crit-boost your market gardener?

The market gardener deals critical hits during a rocket jump. Now the question is:                What if the rocket doesn't belong to the jumper?      So essentially what would happen is, an enemy soldier shoots at your feet, and you get launched a few feet in the air by his rocket. Now is this considered a rocket jump? In other words, will a successful hit with the market gardener result in a crit at this point?


Is there a limit of steam cards per day

So I have a question about how steam cards work, specifically if there is a limit outside of the random factor to the card drops. So I know you can only get half of the cards total by just playing the game, but I am experiencing an issue where I have been idling in 13 games for the past 6.5 hours and haven't received a single card for any of them, even though I just installed them all for the first time (Meaning I have all my drops available). So is there a limit to the amount per day, because that would explain why I am not earning any. Any ideas? ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/TUdQd.png)


What are the advantages and disadvantages of each version of Azura's Star?

At the completion of the quest "The Black Star," you are given the choice to pick between: > Having Azura repair the star (restoring it to the "classic" version, which > captures only non-human souls) or having Nelacar repair it (restoring it to > the black version, which captures only human souls). What are the (dis)advantages of each? I'd seen some mention that human souls are more powerful than most non-human for enchanting, but can I fill the black star with bandit's souls or just with named NPCs? Also, if I don't have Azura repair it, will I be missing out on an Oghma Infinium-type quest (a la Oblivion)?


Azura's Star or The Black Star?

> **Possible Duplicate:**   >  What are the advantages and disadvantages of each version of Azura's Star? I am starting `The Black Star` Quest and I see that the reward is a `Broken Azura's Star`. **SPOILER ALERT** > Bringing it to Aranea Ienith makes it Azura's Star that can capture only > creature souls. Instead, bringing it to Nelacar makes it The Black Star that > can only capture black souls i.e human souls that are always Grand. (Are > there other type of black souls?) From my search I see that, black soul gems are not rare but I have played Skyrim for a few hours (reached Level 30) and still found just one! Where as Grand soul gems are easier to find but very hard to fill with 'grand souls'. At first glance The Black Star sounds much better as there are a lot of humans, like bandits, available to full it with. In comparison, to fill Azura's Star one doesnt need to go looking for humans to kill, also morally good, as there are all kinds of creatures available to slay specially during fights. Interestingly, if one goes for The Black Star then we dont get the option to have Aranea Ienith as a follower. Overall, it seems like that Azura's Star is better for recharging stuff and The Black Star for enchanting. My question is, which choice is better in the long run?


How do I plant cocoa beans?

Can Zombie Pigmen spawn on Soulsand?

I just realized that in all my time within the Nether I've never had a mob spawn in my netherwart farm. Now, while this would make sense after my farm was complete, because of the netherwart being on the block, it took my quite a bit of time to fill up all my blocks with netherwart. And in all that time (3-5 hours) I never got a single zombie pigman in my farm. Can Zombie Pigmen spawn on soulsand?

How can you find all world treasures?

One of the achievements in Infinity Blade is _Waste Not Want Not_. The description for it is "find all world treasures in a play through." After you get the first treasure, though, you have to choose from a fork: either go through the front door or go into the basement dungeon. Both paths have treasures, but you can't play both paths---can you? How is it possible to attain this achievement?


How do I access the DLC in Dragon Age: Origins?

How to go about getting clay in Wurm Online?

I've just started getting into Wurm Online and I've done some exploring, hopefully trying to find a relatively quiet place to settle and figure out the ins-and-outs of the game without an established civilisation around me (personal preference). However, I've found it remarkably hard to find any source of clay. Without clay I can't build pottery bowls, and without bowls I can't make food, which makes everything really quite complicated. I've seen a few merchants in my travels who can sell pottery bowls, but at this stage I'm also completely broke. What's the best way to find clay? I'm in Freedom, around the Silent Hill area (heading north-east from there).


Do you ever get to fly anything else (other than drones) in X-Rebirth?

I loved flying all the different ship types in X3 (and its various flavors). I especially liked flying the more ponderous (and more deadly) ships. As near as I can tell, in X-Rebirth, you never get to fly anything other than the Albion Skunk and occasional drones. I know that you can pick up other ships for your fleet but do you ever get to drive the other ships from the cockpit?


How much extra experience do I get for killing monsters higher level than me?

When the game first explains to you that you get more experience for killing monsters that are higher level than you, it uses an example where you are level 1 and the monster is level 2. It indicates that you get two extra experience for killing the monster since it is higher level. What formula does this follow in general, though? Does the actual monster level matter when determining bonus experience, or just the difference in your relative levels? How much more do you get for every level beyond you that the monster is?


I did the puzzle in the wrong order on the island

I blew up the powder kegs and opened the mechanical door before I brought the boat into the cave. Now, it appears that I am stuck and there is no other way to get the boat to the other side of the island. Does anyone know if there is a fix for this without having to start the game over?

Will summoning Durnehviir level up Conjuration like I used a Conjuration spell?

The TES wiki says this about the 'Summon Durnehviir' shout: > The shout Summon Durnehviir functions as a conjuration spell unlike Call of > Valor. Therefore, if there is already a creature summoned, the shout will > replace the summoned creature, also, summoning something else while > Durnheviir is still active will prematurely end him. Also, summoning Durnehviir requires you to shout at (target) the ground unlike the other summoning dragon shouts, and like the Conjuration summoning spells. Based on this, I'm wondering if summoning Durnehviir will also level up Conjuration like I used a Conjuration spell (assuming there are enemies around and I am in combat). Can anyone confirm or deny?


Can someone formulate a clear description of the ending of Limbo?

How do I seal off a cavern in Dwarf Fortress?

Do squadmates with the squadmate ammo upgrade grant you the power?

If I upgrade a squadmate's ammo power and choose the "squadmate ammo" bonus in level 4, will I and the third squadmate get the ammo at 50% effectiveness? If so, and more importantly, can ammo bonuses be stacked if both squadmates and I have different ammo bonuses with the squadmate ammo upgrade?


Where are Minecraft iOS saves stored?

Is there any way to speed up gem crafting in Diablo 3?

I found that crafting gems yourself is actually cheaper than buying it from Auction House (considering that you found the starting gems and _Tomes of Secrets_ yourself). But the biggest problem now is that crafting the gems takes such a long time. It's just **EXTREMELY** time consuming. So I was wondering if there is any way to speed up that process? I know that you can disable the pop-up that warns you when you try to salvage rare items, but is there anything like that for speed crafting gems?


When can pokemon forget HM Moves in XY?

Do you build things randomly or wait for Palpatine's missions?

I'm asking because I built an Imperial floor right after the "imperial items" told me I have to build a new floor to progress. About 4 missions later Palpatine asked me to build a new imperial floor. I couldn't do it though, because it said I needeed to progress in the game before building a new one. Therefore I had to skip that mission and spend 2 precious bux. So my question is: can I build a new floor whenever I feel like it or is it better to get it assigned as a mission and do it then? And I don't mean just imperial floors, but residential and commercial as well. Right now I have 11 floors so I'm just at the beginning and I don't know how the missions look later in the game... BTW it's a bit annoying that the old man does't recognise that I just accomplished his stupid mission 10 minutes ago.


Where are the NPC Pokemon traders that I can trade with, and what do they offer?

Every Pokemon game features NPCs that you can trade with in order to obtain different Pokemon, and Pokemon X and Y are no different. I usually try and find and trade with all the NPC traders throughout a game. However so far I've only found one in Santalune City (he wants a Bunnelby for a Farfetch'd named Quacklin' - the best name ever, IMHO). So where are all the other NPC traders? What Pokemon do they want, and what do they offer in exchange?


What does the "items" attribute do?

The item attribute (below Speed, Acceleration, Handling, etc.) 'Items' has been bugging me a bit when I am picking my vehicle. It seems that either the Item bar is filled 33% of the way, 66% of the way, or 100% of the bar. I know it decides how many mushrooms you get in Time Trial mode, but does it do anything outside of that? I'm having trouble still figuring out what purpose it serves.


Villager breeding for an iron farm - docm77's design

I am playing on a 1.7.x server (not sure the specific revision at the moment) that is basically vanilla with a bunch of mods. I don't run the server; I just play there. I am working on an iron farm, following docm77's design (YouTube). I populated one of the villager chambers from two spawn eggs, and the remaining chambers were populated from the offspring of these two initial villagers. This single platform has been working just fine, so I went to "pimp it up" (his words, not mine) and build the 2nd pod, directly above the first. I created a water elevator to move my offspring villagers, and populated the 2nd level cells. The end result is that the villagers on the 2nd level are breeding, and I am getting golems, but the first pod has stopped producing anything. On the first level, each chamber has 2 villagers, but I am not seeing any hearts above their heads, and no indication of any golems (the only golems I see are dropping from the sky). Docm's video says that the 2nd level needs to be 70 blocks above the first - mine is 75. Would this be causing a problem? Would the elevator in place be causing a problem? Both pods are built the same, and I don't know enough about villager breeding and whatnot to understand what's the issue.


Does the name of the rift have any influence on its content?

I have noticed through a variety of playthroughs that many of the Nephalem rifts are named after important figures from the lore of Diablo, for example:   * Horazon's approach   * Bartuc's trail While it may be pretty incidental, the various instances I've been in Horazon's approach the levels have generally been of an "Arcane Sanctuary" design utilising the Pandemonium fortress level designs in darker colours - but is this coincidental or does the name of the rift have any influence on its content? Does the name of the rift affect the level generation (ie: certain rifts will definitely go to certain places/use certain designs for their levels) or the rift guardian that spawns?

What counts towards your 'fear' rating in AC:BF?

While playing Black Flag I have noticed that a uplay notification occasionally appears, usually when I have finished a mission commenting 'You are the x most feared pirate'. How is this calculated? Is it to do with the number of ships that you sink, or your progression tracker stats? Basically how is it counted that you the nth most feared pirate?


Can I get my stuff back from a follower after he has left my service?

I had a follower (Jzargo) and had him carry a bunch of my loot. But I forgot to get it back from him before I sent him home. Now he won't talk to me because I'm in the middle of a quest involving the college and so I can't ask him to join me again. Is there any way to get my stuff back from him without resorting to pickpocketing (which I tried, but even though it's my things he thinks I'm stealing from him). I am also not very good at it so I can't easily get away with it, and even if I did I wonder if they would now appear as stolen goods.

Why do my minecarts move through me and leave without me?

I'm trying to make a roller coaster. I have powered rails, a block at the end, and a button. When you push the button, it makes the carts go, but they leave me behind.

If I stay still and just push the button, the cart shoots right through me and flies off empty down the track.


Are there any penalties in XP gain if characters are too far apart in level?

For example, if I have four Level 50's, and one Level 1 --- does the Level 1 guy gain the same amount of XP as the Level 50s? Or does the game somehow scale the XP so that the Level 1 guy isn't going to gain 10 levels in one battle with high level monsters? If there is some kind of scaling involved, what is the system? At what difference in levels does the game penalize the lower level characters in XP gain?


Can Mighty Eagle not achieve completion of a game board?

I haven't purchased the Mighty Eagle but am curious if it's possible to throw the sardine tin in a spot in which the Mighty Eagle will not achieve completion of a board? Or does the sheer force of the eagle hitting inside or outside the game-play area always cause all pigs to be destroyed? I noticed the ground bounces. Videos, which are my only source of information at this point, show how the Mighty Eagle destroys mostly everything on the first use but sometimes with a bit of structural integrity left behind, like some bits and pieces on the ground. I expect the answer to this question will be short. :)

Sprinting in Watch_Dogs

Is there a way to sprint in _Watch_Dogs_? It seems that different NPC's run with different speed and some of them are just way faster than other ones. I noticed it after knocking out a few criminals(side missions?). The first few were really easy to chase and knock out, however after some time, these criminals start running faster and faster(or is it my tired brain that thinks that they run faster because I act slower?) and sometimes it takes a few minutes of non-stop running to get them. So, is there a sprinting option in _Watch underscore Dogs_?


Will the SRT Viper be enough to win the Supercar Masters Series

In the Supercar Masters Series I can chose (among others) between the SRT Viper GTS and an Audi R8 V10. Without any upgrades, the Viper performs best. But the Audi has a higher initial performance Rating. Will upgrading the Viper be enough to finish this series, or will I not be able to reach the needed performance rating for the last races? Is the Audi a competitive car in any other series which would make it more useful to upgrade the A8 now instead of the Viper?


Get steam to realize I have games already installed

How can I copy/transfer games via external hard drive?

I have successfully transferred "Killing Floor" from my brother's laptop to my own via external hard drive. The problem, now that I have all the files, is that I don't know how to launch the game through Steam.

So the question is, how do I start up the game through Steam?


Steam: Is it possible to copy only one game to a different computer?

I have a prohibitively slow internet connection (2.0 Mbit/s, around 200KB/s) for downloading large games. (It took 50 hours to download Torchlight 2) I have discovered a "short" solution to the problem is to download it at a location with a 6 MB/s connection to my laptop and then either: A) copy my ENTIRE Steam folder over my home network, this take 6 hours or B) copy my ENTIRE Steam folder to a travel drive and then to my computer, this takes 6 hours. Copying around 83 GB of data when I only want to copy one game is redundant. Is there a way to identify and copy just one game's files successfully?

Dead Space takes a long time to load

I just downloaded Dead Space from steam (a game I have played through many times - on PC and PS3). This is the first time I have played it from steam, and it is on my gaming laptop. The game is taking a very long time to load when I open doors, use the turbo lift, and load the game. I am running the game from a Vertex 4 SSD and the laptop has a 3.7GHz i7, 32 GB of RAM, and a GTX 470... The game run just fine and the only time it slows down is when it loads. Is there some way, a setting or something, that I can change to make the game load faster.

What are the mechanics of using multiple shield modules?

I've been playing quite a bit of gratuitous space battle, and have quickly learned that the best way to keep your ships from turning into piles of burning debris is to equip them with shields. However, I am pretty sure that I do not understand the mechanics in play when using multiple shield modules. This is even more confusing considering that it is possible to mix shield modules of different qualities. The different types of shield modules differ in strength, resistance and recharge rate, allowing for quite a bit of mixing and matching, so what I hope to get is the set of rules that will allow me to figure out the following two cases at least:   * I use two shield modules, one with high strength and one with high resistance. Do I get the best of both worlds (the total of both modules' strength plus the higher resistance)?   * I install three shield modules. Will they deplete one at a time, or will they "take turns" soaking up damage, lasting longer overall?


Do flowers heal?

I try to keep my flowers all confined to one large patch to avoid running over them, but on occasion I trample them. After 3 tramples, at least within the same day, flowers (not dandelions) will disappear. Does each flower only get 3 tramples before dying, or do flowers "heal" over time, so say after I ran over a flower once then waited a day, watered them or transplanted them, would they be "healed" after that and have the full 3 hitpoints left, or will that flower be permanently damaged?


Does stunning enemy types you already captured yield any benefit?

Dota 2 wins being counted as losses

Is it possible to stop the Madman from escaping his yacht?

In Desert Strike's third campaign map, one of the missions is to rescue hostages from the madman's yacht, pictured below. ![The Madman's Yacht, as the Apache Helicopter dodges incoming missiles launched by the soldiers on board](http://i.stack.imgur.com/uKgpy.png) The following excerpt from a strategy guide on CheatCC details the mission: > When you first get there, shoot soldiers on the deck and take out all > vehicles hanging about. Then shoot a hole in the yacht. You will see > hostages float out the south side, and when you go to pick them up, Mubaba > escapes in a speedboat from the north side. Now, I've owned this game for a long time, but I was never able to destroy the madman's speedboat, and neither was the writer of the guide, as he goes on to say: > I don't know if you can stop him; I never have. However I was playing the game the other day, and whilst I didn't stop the speedboat, I did notice in the mission debriefing " _Now the bad News_ " section that I lost 500 points for " _The madman escaped_ " Does this mean it IS possible to take him out there? Or is this one of those unavoidable no-win scenarios with a guaranteed point loss? Note that there is a 4th campaign map that wouldn't make sense if the madman died, but I'm assuming that either his second in command takes over or that ends the game prematurely.

Can I access the developer's console in Mass Effect 3?

I know this was available in the first game, but in the second it appeared to have been deliberately disabled. (You could make some changes to the game mechanics via .ini files, but you couldn't do this on the fly in the game. It wasn't possible to enable the console via .ini either.) Is the console accessible in any way in Mass Effect 3? If so, is there any sort of command reference for it?


Are profession specialties relevant post-Cataclysm?

I am playing a new Death Knight with intent to tank for my guild at max level. As part of this, I decided to take up Blacksmithing.

> **Possible Duplicate:**   >  Age Of Empires III : Lag in Multiplayer game ( LAN ) Hi all, I am trying to play **Age Of Empires 3** through LAN between my PC and Laptop. My PC and Laptop is connected by a Ethernet cable through a modem. Now I have 256MB ATI RADEON graphics card and I am able to play the game very smoothly, even with high graphics settings enabled when in a single Player game. But when playing in LAN, I see a lag for every second. But what confuses me is that, there is no such lag in my PC. The game in PC runs the same, even in Multiplayer game. What might be the problem here... Any help is appreciated... Thanks...


Ships per colony

In the EU4 wiki, I read that to avoid certain penalties you should have one heavy or light ship per colony dedicated to that colony; the penalty being a function of the ratio of ships so allocated to the number of your colonies. However, what does that mean?   1. Do I need a ship in the coastal area of each colony?    2. As a variation of (1), if colonies are under the administration of a viceroy or such (named colonial area, eg "Spanish Brazil"), do I need (number of colonies in named area) ships anywhere in that area? (Eg, patrolling)    3. Do I check how many of my colonies contribute to a trade node, and assign at least this number to that trade node?    4. Or do I simply need to have n heavy or light ships in my navy if I have n colonies (independent of where the ships are)? Any insight appreciated. Edit: more precisely, this applies to overseas provinces, of which colonies are only a typical example; and this is in the chapter on tariffs.


Is there any bonus content for getting the game on a certain platform?

Is there any bonus content I would get for acquiring Mass Effect 3 on PC over say PS3, or Xbox 360 over PC? As lots of games seem to offer content exclusive to one that you can't get on another (Call of duty getting DLC a month earlier on xbox being a good example) and if so what is it? And does it make much of a difference?


How can I improve my last hitting skill?

Last hitting (the act of killing hostile creeps to get gold and experience) is vital in Dota 2 especially for carries. Looking at some "pro" players streaming I see that they almost get all last hits, but I have some timing difficulties. How can improve my last hitting skill other than play, play and play? Are there any tecniques to learn that can help me?


PAD: Does two pronged attack stack with Row enhance?

If I connect 4 orbs, and I connect a row as well, would the two pronged attack activate?


Can I chat (not VOIP) in commander mode when playing on a tablet?

I can see the text box in the upper left hand corner, but I haven't found a way to type there. I want to be able to talk to my entire team instead of clicking on each squad and repeating myself via VOIP. Can I talk in the chat feed via my tablet? If so, how? _I am running on an iPad with a bluetooth keyboard_


What is this bar next to each squad I see via commander mode?

After a recent update, I now see this bar that fluctuates a lot throughout a match. What does this signify? ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/mmtqQ.png)


Can I issue commands to my entire team instead by per squad basis?

In most matches, I have found that the objective location changes quickly. This can take some time and become rather mind numbing if there are 10+ squads in a match! Is there an easier way to give orders to my entire team, rather than by each squad? If so, how?


Copy PS2 memory cards into PCSX2 emulator

Okay, I have the following:   * PS2 memory cards with saves from PS2   * PS2 memory card adapter for PS3   * PS3 which can read those files   * No PS2 or fat PS3 anymore, which is why I use...   * PCSX2 emulator which I want to be able to access those files Now, I would have thought this would make copying PS2 save files to my PC in a format PCSX2 can read would be a simple task, but apparently not. I haven't found PC drivers for the PS2 card adapter (amazingly, it's USB and it seems prime for hacking), so instead I copied over the PS2 saves from the PS3 onto a thumbstick as .PSV files. I found a utility called PSV Exporter which eats PSV Files and spits out...other files I don't really know what to do with. I also have MyMC and PS2 Save Builder which are supposed to operate on PS2 save files, but neither seems to know what to do with the files output by PSV exporter. So, given my equipment or a simply a PSV file, what software do I need to copy my "real" PS2 saves into some format PCSX2 can read?


Minecraft Traincarts pathfinding/destination?

I have recently installed the traincarts plugin on my server. So far I have been getting along fine, until the part about destinations and path-finding. What I want to know is how do I set/name a station so that the train knows where its going. I have a station and a train called train2, I want it to be able to get to the second station without losing its way. If you would find it easier to demonstrate this please say and I could whitelist you on my server. Thanks.


Skyrim instantly crashes to desktop

Two weeks ago I borrowed an Oculus Rift for the weekend and installed some mods for it, following this guide. Now I'm trying to run it again without the Oculus, and it instantly crashes to desktop. ## Behavior I click on Skyrim in my Steam library, and then click `Play` from the launcher. A console window pops up for half a second, closes, and the game doesn't run. Sometimes I see a black screen flicker up and then close. ## What I've tried   * Running Skyrim from SKSE. In this case, I see the SKSE console window flicker up, then another console window, and the game doesn't start.   * Uninstalling all mods.   * Deleting my `Skyrim.ini` and `SkyrimPrefs.ini` files.   * Reinstalling Skyrim in Steam by clicking `Delete Local Content`, followed by `Install`.   * Running Skyrim in a Window.   * Praising Talos.   * Changing Audio settings to DVD quality.   * Restarting my computer. ## System specifications   * **OS:** Windows 7 Ultimate, 64-bit   * **Processor:** Intel Core i5-4670K CPU @ 3.40 GHz   * **Drive:** Samsung 840 SSD   * **Graphics Card:** : AMD Radeon HD 7900   * **Motherboard:** Gigabyte GA-Z87X-UD4H ATX LGA1150   * **Monitor:** BenQ XL2420T ## Solution Per SevenSidedDie's recommendation, I deleted `d3d9.dll`, `hijackdll.dll`, and `libfreespace.dll` from my `Steamapps\common\Skyrim\` folder. It's alive! ## Generalized Solution Uninstalling and reinstalling via steam does not remove the `Skyrim` folder. If you manually added any DLLs during the modding process, you may have to remove them manually as well. Alternatively, if you don't know which DLLs to remove, uninstall the game, delete the `Skyrim` folder, and then reinstall. You will not lose your saved games, since they are stored in `Users\USER\Documents\my games\skyrim`, rather than in `steamapp`.


How do I get past the guard and servant undetected?

I'm in Eastwick's Grand House trying to get past a room with a patrolling guard and a servant, who are having a conversation. On the other side of the room is a secret entrance in the form of a bookshelf. There's a bird in the corner on the right and pieces of glass in the corner across. > ![](http://i.stack.imgur.com/2hzLhl.jpg) I tried to sneak past following the guard's footsteps, but the servant is looking at the bookshelf almost constantly notifying the guard when I try to open it. How do I get past the room undetected?


Ingress linking when carrying multiple keys

So I've found it's good to store key copies in containers to make it easy to drop before hacking, to get more keys. I'm just worried that if I'm carrying 2 keys and I create a link both will be used. I believe this used to happen and I'm unsure if it's still the case. Thanks

How to get the destiny beta nameplate?

Can I ever get Magic Paint as a reward from solving a Puzzle Box?

Some vistors in Monstor Manor will offer me a puzzle box to solve. Since I've already solved all 50 boxes at one point or another, I generally skip these. But I could always use more Magic Paint. What are the possible rewards from puzzle boxes, and is Magic Paint one of them?


Is there a guarantee that all spells are in each town?

This is the third time I played King's Bounty. The spell "Raise Control" simply doesn't exist in any town 3 times in a row. http://www.genesisproject-online.com/Genesis/I-k/king/king.html I think I used to play another version where every spell always exist at least once and we can know our location without pressing m.


How can I see my character's numerical health value?

In combat, the health bar on each character portrait doesn't seem to list raw HP values, it's just a colored bar. I'd like to be able to see exactly how much health each character has, so I can determine when using a medkit will have the most effect, for example. I'd also like to be able to do so out of combat, so I know if I need to heal up before a fight.


How does the VIP supply officer work?

As of a recent update, they seem to have revised the Imperial levels. Before, each level built one widget, but now they can built multiple types of widgets. If you delivered a Supply Officer to a level, they would begin construction of the widget. But now, you have to pay to start construction of an item - what if you deliver a Supply Officer to a level which has not started construction? Do you still have to pay to start it? I can't tell since I haven't received a Supply Officer for a while now. Sidenote: It seems like this new update has made everything more expensive. The returns on the missions are ridiculous - one mission requires 66 components and pays out less than 75K gold - starting the construction for them is going to cost me more gold than that already!

How to unlock / build the "Imperial March" retail level?

I tried to add a new retail level, but it says that no more levels are available at my current progress. The other 10 retail levels have been built, but now it says 10/11 retail levels. The only one left is called "Imperial March" but it has a lock icon and no option to unlock. Has anyone been able to build it yet? Are there conditions that must be satisfied before you can unlock it?


How does breaking zombies work?

As far as I can tell, a zombie has both a yellow health bar and a red health bar. The yellow health bar indicates the amount of stamina a zombie has left; once exhausted by taking damage it collapses. The red health bar indicates the amount of health the zombie has left; once depleted, the zombie "breaks", or dies permanently. Still, the way that depleting the red health bar works confuses me, and I want to make sure that I kill zombies as quickly as possible to keep my weapons in tip-top shape. Do I deal less health damage to a zombie while it still has stamina? Will aiming at the zombie's head inflict more health damage, even when it's knocked down? Do certain types of weapons inflict more health damage compared to stamina damage, regardless of their base damage (for example, if I have a firearm and a blunt weapon with the same attack value, will the firearm inflict more health damage)?

Can I respec my Dead Island character?

After finally getting the game set up how I want it to run, I've started playing with Xian as my main character. I've now earned enough XP to level up, but I'm wondering if I will have the ability to respec my character. I chose to learn "Fury" as my first skill to see if any option to reset my skill choice appeared after the fact, but I do not see one in the menu. Does respeccing exist in this game? If so, how/when do I get the ability to do so?

In Yakuza 3 does the Tokyo Ishun magazine become unavailable?

I'm in chapter 12 in Yakuza 3 and am trying to access the hidden menu options in restaurants and bars. However while I may have once seen the magazine necessary to unlock these items I seem to be unable to find the magazine at any of the M stores I've visited. All I can find online is that I should be able to purchase it, but all I seem are two magazines that don't seem to help. I've checked the items in storage and there's nothing there that I can see. Is the purchase of this time sensitive, or can I still find it somewhere else?


How do I make cloth bags from pig tails?

How would you counter a Priest that relies on Northshire Cleric?

This combo heavily relies on this card to add to their card pool. It is also not uncommon that people give it Divine Spirit to double it's health and other, similar cards. What is the best strategy here? The enemy has basically an unlimited card pool and puts out so many cards that it is impossible to do any damage to the hero, because when you put out cards, they get destroyed (overrun) next round.


What level do I need to be to purchase Tier 3 runes?

I just hit level 20 and have lots of saved IP that I was going to use to purchase the tier 3 runes. However, I can't. All the runes in the store still say "Level 20+" in red, and double clicking on them does nothing. I've re- logged and it's just the same. Do you need to be a higher level to actually buy the runes versus obtaining them with the rune combiner?


Once I replace a party member, can I ever get him back?

Playing Baldur's Gate 1 in BGT When I meet a new NPC and he asks me or I ask him to join the party, if my party is full, I can remove one of the previous members. But while some stay wherever I left them, others just leave out of the screen (Khalid for example), is there a way to get them back later on, if I want to, or is the NPC gone forever ? It is kind of strange, since you can't event see the new guy's stats before making your decision.


How do I get past level 8-4 in The Last Rocket?

I have stared and stared and stared at level 8-4 of The Last Rocket and can't for the life of me figure out how to get to the exit. ![The Last Rocket, Level 8-4](http://i.stack.imgur.com/HZ4iV.png) I've flown from each corner of the left and right wall. I've tried walking and flying through what looks like an opening to the right of the bottom fan. I've tried turning around close to the enemy, to see if I can pull him from the wall. All to no avail. **What do I do to get past this level? How do I get to the exit?**

Why are Blasters always fitted with Caldari Navy Antimatter and not Void?

How has combat changed from Borderlands to Borderlands 2?

I might rephrase it as, " _What are things that a BL1 player should know jumping into BL2?_ " Not all of these are probably worth answering in regards to the main question, but here are some examples:   * I seem to recall that aim assist is default on in Borderlands 1. I don't like to play with aim assist. Should I keep an eye out to turn this off because it's on by default in BL2 or no?    * In Borderlands 1, the most effective elements are fire for flesh, shock for shields, and acid for armour. I notice that there are a lot more robotic enemies. Does this mean an increase in the value of corrosive damage, assuming the elements work the same?    * It seems there's a fifth element: Slag. How does this work?    * Considering what I've seen of Zer0 recently, mêlée seems to be a viable play-style now.    * I notice that health and damage values reach the hundreds of thousands.    * Roland the Soldier was pretty much the support character, but it sounds like Maya the Siren is the new support.    * In Borderlands 1, Crawmerax was the main raid boss, with a few others only worth farming for one drop. Has this changed?    * What's the level cap? This and this Q&A say level 50, but I saw level 61, from a source that I trust as non-hacking.      * When did the change from 50 to 61 happen?     * Are there special conditions to getting that raised level cap, like in Borderlands 1?    * Is there an equivalent of the Underdome in Borderlands 2?    * In Borderlands 1, you'd want to judge weapons largely by their rarity, and only replace them if they're outlevelled by 6 or more or so. Is it still the same?    * In Borderlands 1, a gripe is that a weapon that spawns with or without a sight is stuck with it. Are weapons in Borderlands 2 more customizable? **What are the differences to combat from Borderlands to Borderlands 2?**


Deus Ex: Human Revolution - The Missing Link - Does it contain Spoilers?

The DLC "The Missing Link" takes place in between the storyline of the main game. In my playthrough from the main game I am **not** that far (atm I am the second time in Detroit after Montreal). What I want to know is, if I should play the DLC in between my main playthrough. Meaning, when Jensen gets knocked out and shipped to Singapore, I start playing the DLC and "pause" my main playthrough. Or should I rather finish the main game and _then_ play the DLC. The reason I am asking this, is because I want to know if the DLC contains any spoilers about the ending of the main game, which I am "not supposed to know" at that point in the main playthrough. **Note:** Please try to avoid any spoilers, since I didn't finish the game yet.


Any way to convert old Angband save files to the current version?

I recently started playing Angband again after running across my old 3.5" floppy disks with my old saved player files on them. I like the newer Windows version of Angband (3.4.1 I think) but I've found that it won't open my saved games from 2.7.9. It tells me the file is corrupt. Is there any way to get the old files to open in the newer versions? I haven't yet tried downloading all the interim versions to see if I can baby-step it up to the current version. It sure would be nice to have my 44th level Rogue to play again since I never did get him quite tough enough to win the game.


Can knives headshot opponents?

In _Counter-Strike: Global Offensive_ , you can shoot opponents in the head and cause a "headshot", resulting in extra damage being done to that player. There is also a knife, which you can use to melee-fight opponents. Can knives headshot opponents? If I hit an enemy in the head with a knife, will it do more damage? Similarly, if I hit an enemy in the legs with a knife, will it do less damage?

Should I change the default keybindings?

I've been playing Dota 2 for some time now (I've played about 100 hours total, according to Steam.) One thing that I still frequently struggle with is hitting the correct keys for the items I have in my inventory. I thought about changing the keybindings for my items to 123456 (as opposed to zxcvbn), but I have some doubts about whether or not it's better to do that or just stick with the defaults. What do you think? Should I go for it? Do you know of any pro Dota players who have changed the default key bindings significantly (as opposed to just adding new shortcuts to the existing ones).

The guy on the phone is telling me the first controller port is broken, so I'd have to go with only one controller on second port. Is it possible on a SNES? I don't know how those old consoles are made. Would I be able to play solo games with only one controller on second port?

Good champions pick and strategies

I normally watch a lot of LCS and OGN (Korean league) LOL games.   Sometimes the two teams plays well, but, even playing well, one team lose at the teamfight and lose the game. Or one of the team can't engage well or they only get poked. And at the last of the game, they said that they lose cause they have bad picks. All the champions have their advantages and disadvantages but.. the picks can make you lose the game? And what strategies are they using? Cause they not always do a "Wombo combo".

Basic deck matchups vs. Expert AI

_**Some Context:_**   I recently started playing Hearthstone and now that my _Mage_ is at level 10, I want to start leveling the other classes. My playing time is very limited, so I want to unlock all one-time quests as efficiently as possible. To do that, I want to level playing against the Expert AI to additionally unlock the hidden Quest which requires you to defeat all Expert AI opponents. I have lots of experience in TCGs, both similar ones (WoW, Magic) and others, but my card pool is still very small. Now I've found that I struggle a lot when playing against _Mage_ with _Paladin_. This might just be personal impression or coincidence, but I feel _Paladin_ 's tricks available at this early stage just can't hold up to Expert AI _Mage_ 's. And I'm pretty sure this is similar in other cases. Honestly though, I haven't tried _Mage_ vs. _Paladin_... _**The Question:_**   What I'm looking for in this question is a **matchup comparison** of the starting basic decks (below 20/20, slightly improved with random stuff from packs) paired up against the Expert AI decks, ideally _with explanations and reasoning_. I'm aware there is some subjectivity to this (especially if it's about the "best", "worst" or fairly even matchups), but the general **strengths and weaknesses** of each of the 10-18/20 decks as well as the Expert AI decks should allow some classification. I'm also mainly interested in _very one-sided matchups_ (in either deck's favor) rather than matchups slightly in one side's favor. _**Example Answer:_**   I envision an answer to this question looking similar to this: > **Mage**   >  Exceptionally strong against: _Paladin_ , _Rogue_   >  Exceptionally weak against: _Druid_ , _Priest_ > > Lots of damage spells can quickly destroy Paladin's and Rogue's smaller > minions. Druid and Priest can just heal the damage. > > * * * > > **Priest**   >  [...] The ideal answer would list all classes, list matchups that are not as arbitrary and probably wrong as the examples I give here and provide an explanation that actually makes sense. A longer explanation is perfectly fine and encouraged!

What armor and weapons do Crusaders use?

Every class in Diablo 3 has its own specialized weapons and armor. Some of those are really unique, like the quiver or voodoo doll, while others look almost the same as every other piece of armor, such as the Barbarian belt or the Demonhunter cape. The one thing in common is that each of these weapons or armor pieces can only be used by the respective class. Now I've seen 'flails' in the Live version of the game that say they can only be used by Crusaders, but are there any other items? Also, which items found in the current game were Crusader-only in the beta?


How to enable 3D in WipEout HD Fury Blu-Ray disc version

I'm trying to run `WipEout HD Fury` in `3D`. I have the `Blu-Ray disc version`, a `Samsung UE46C7000` series which has the `3D` option - in facts I can easily play `Killzone 3` with that option automatically detected. I've been unable to find any way to unlock 3D view in `WipEout HD Fury` game, and couldn't find anything in the game manual - but I've read on various sites that `WipEout HD` and `Fury` content does supports 3D. Is there any way to enable it?

How does the Pokemon HeartGold / SoulSilver Safari Zone work?

At serebii.net I read that some Pokemon show themselves in the safari zone with certain types of blocks, but it does not really say if blocks will stay, how they level, or that switching out will clear the items. I also says that some Pokemon will only appear after a certain number of days. Are these days counting from the start of my game? or the start of the required blocks? Also, I noticed that I can place 'other' items. What is the use of these items? Should I even place them in my Safari Zone? Can someone explain to me the fundamentals to the safari zone?


What's the optimal strategy for the first Pokémon battle?

Every main Pokémon game has you battle your rival or friend after you receive your starter Pokémon. Every starter begins at level 5. They each know one Normal-type physical attack (e.g. Tackle, Scratch) and one stat-altering move (e.g. Growl, Leer), aside from Pokémon Yellow where Pikachu gets Growl and Thunderbolt (with STAB; the rival's Eevee also gets STAB on his Tackle.) Throughout the Pokémon series, what's the optimum way to deploy your two moves in the starter battle?


How do I make a lot of money efficiently?

Far Cry 3 has a relatively expensive item economy, IMO, and money is a little hard to come by when you're at the early parts of the game. Compared to some of the other games I play, I find myself having to frequently grind killing people, and manually collecting the loot of every fallen individual just to get a little money. **What are efficient ways to get the big bucks (maximum money for minimum effort, preferably methods which are repeatable) in Far Cry 3?** EDIT: I'd like to add that at later parts of the game, money is no longer an issue. My problem now is where to spend it. Even though my wallet has reached the maximum crafted capacity, I'm still hitting the limit. =)

Are there alternate or secret exits for some levels in New Super Mario Bros for Wii?

In Super Mario World on the Super NES (16-bit), some levels on the world map were represented by a different-colored globe, which indicated that there were secret exits hidden on them that would open up a new path. This usually involved finding a hidden lock and key, and reuniting them. In New SMB for Wii, there appears to be a similar setup. Is the same true, and if so, what colors indicate that there are multiple exits?


Can you kill two players with a single shot in Urban Terror?

Phrased another way, does any kind of round penetrate players e.g. those fired by the PSG-1 or the SR8?


How to download Minecraft for Linux without an internet connection on that linux computer?

I have 2 computers. One is an old Windows machine. The other is a modern Linux machine. I want to play Minecraft on my Linux machine. Unfortunately, the Linux machine does not have any way of connecting to the Internet. When I go to minecraft.net, and login, and click [download], and click [show all platforms] I see a list of launchers for Minecraft. But I need more than the launcher. I need the launcher and all the MC files. **How can I download Minecraft using one operating system and transfer those files to a different OS?** (I'm only asking about the minecraft stuff, such as valid file locations, here. Mounting discs or linux commands are not part of this question!)

Why are Californian Super Mutants generally friendlier than the capital wasteland ones?

In Fallout 3 there is only one friendly super mutant. Meanwhile in the NCR territories, Super Mutants are much friendlier (e.g. Jackobstown near New Vegas). Is there an in game explanation for this difference?

My cow is pregnant but it still hasn't had the calf. And when I go up to her it says she has a maternal look in her eyes. I would really love it if I could get a anwser. Because I'm a little stuck. :(


How can I reduce lag in Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag?

I am experiencing significant lag while playing AC4BF. Movement is very slow and the voices do not synchronize with lip movement. I have an Intel Core i5-2500 3.3GHz CPU and 3.24 GB RAM, and Radeon HD 6350 graphic card which is well above the system requirements of this game. I had already adjusted graphics settings but it does not fix the problem. How can I play this game with normal speed? Is my system still not adequate?


Can I do anything with poisonous berries/mushrooms?

I found and identified some poisonous berries. Are they something I should hang on to, or should I just dump them? Same for poisonous mushrooms.


Global Colosseum: What's the difference between tournament and random match?

I tried out the tournament feature for the first time last night and it wasn't really what I expected. There was no ladder, no indication of where in the tournament you are or what the context of the "tournament" is. The tournament had 17 people at the time. I won 5 matches, but was still prompted to search for the next battle. Really, I don't see any difference between this and a random match. Can anyone fill me in on the difference between the two?


I literally got STUCK in Dear Esther - how do I get "unstuck"?

Just 30 minutes into the game I try to walk onto a rooftop for some reason... I promptly got stuck and literally can't move an inch. It's as if my walk buttons are disabled. **Is there any way to get unstuck in this game, or will I have to start all over?** Note: this game is based on Valve's Source engine. Development console is enabled in the options, but I can't seem to manage to open it. It doesn't open when clicking the § key as it does in other Source games, nor while holding shift or control and clicking it. * * * I've restarted the chapter and walked onto the edge of the roof again, and yep, I got stuck. So it seems there's a bug a 5 minute walk into chapter 2 near the rooftop of a house where you get stuck. Here's a picture of the scene and above is a link to the game saves if somebody has trouble finding the spot. Hope it gets fixed! Also a configurable key-bind for the developer console would have saved me hours of frustration. I still can't open it.


What makes a champion squishy?

I have gathered that squishy essentially means "easily killed", but I'm not sure how to judge a champion's squishy-ness. What factors go into being squishy?


Is there a limit to the number of enemies spawned during the timed waves of the Mass Effect 3 multiplayer?

During several of the waves in the multiplayer component of Mass Effect 3, the players are tasked with shutting down a number of stationary objectives throughout the level in a set time limit instead of just killing all of the enemies in the wave. When I played on bronze, there were four objectives that had to be shut down in four minutes (I'm not sure if this varies by difficulty or not). **During this type of wave, has anyone determined whether enemies spawn indefinitely until the objectives are disabled?** It would be nice to know whether thinning out the enemies first is a good strategy, or whether it's best to rush to the objectives since the enemies will keep replenishing.


Where can I find Morningstar after fully claiming their Territory?

Can your NPC mages become Blood Mages if you are not a mage? (Spoiler)

As I understand, the only way to unlock the Blood Mage specialization is to personally enter the Fade during Arl of Redliffe, something that can only be done if you are a mage Warden. However, I've seen a few old guides that list either Wynne or Morrigan as Blood Mages despite not playing as a mage. So my question is as the title says. Is it possible for Wynne or Morrigan to become Blood Mages if I myself am not a mage?


What familiars in Runescape will bank items for you?

In Runescape what familiars will bank your items for you? I'm doing steel dragons and want to get the steel bars (they're worth 1k each) to my bank so I don't feel like I'm cutting my total profit short. So, what familliars can help me and what level(s) do I need to use them? I know you can bank using a pack yak will bank 30 items and a legendary pet will bank one item. Anything else?
