Where is the Treasure located in the Cave area of the Terran Ruins (1-5)?

I cannot find it. Things I have tried include (all attempts were after enemies were cleared):   * Running around the stone column and hitting it   * Breaking all the barrels and torches   * Breaking all the barrels then breaking all the torches with Icicle Edge   * Breaking all the torches with the Hammerball   * Running around the edges of the map trying to find some piece of wall to hit to trigger it I give up. I'm really hoping that this isn't a case of just having to pixel hunt to get the exact right area.


Moss Covered Chests, do they respawn?

I know I am late to the "Pandarian Gate." However, I finally made it to the Timeless Isle and discovered moss covered chests. These things are awesome for a casual gamer like me. Since I started looting them though, I can't find a definitive "they do" or "they do not" respawn. Can anyone shed light into this? I've seen all answers from "yes" and "no" to "here are a few that do respawn.


How do you stop boosted exp for traded pokemon?

So I got the torchic gift in pokemon x and y, and he has boosted exp (I'm assuming that this is because he's considered "traded"). Is there any way I can make him gain exp at a normal rate?


Can I stop Skyrim slowing down after 5 minutes?

My laptop's about a year old, but I bought it at quite a high spec then so it's still fine. When I first ran Skyrim, it chose the 'high' graphics setting. At first, the game plays very smoothly, however after a few minutes it starts to slow down, and after about 5 minutes or so the game is unplayable (<5 fps). Quitting Skyrim completely and reloading it seems to solve the problem, but only for another 5 minutes of play. I've tried turning down the graphics options to their lowest setting, but this doesn't seem to help. Is there a way to diagnose what the problem is, and fix it?

Warsow - cannot reach more then 60 FPS

Yesterday I installed this game on my PC on Ubuntu 13.04 OS (since for some crazy reason I can't start game on Windows 8) and then I tried to increase FPS at 125 by using: `cl_maxfps 125`. But the thing is that it blocks at 60 FPS. And I know that my PC can run this game at more then 60 FPS. Can someone tell me what could be wrong?

How do I turn off the mature language filter?

In Diablo 3, every time someone uses an inappropriate word I see a bunch of random characters instead of what they are actually saying. I'm a fan of angry, curse-filled rants. I enjoy seeing the interesting, colorful language of people who are having a hard time in-game. Is there a way to turn off the language filter?

What are the differences between the Golden Ship and the standard ship?

During the Steam Summer Camp sale in 2011, Beat Hazard received a new _gear_ called **Golden Ship**. (if you didn't unlock it during the summer sale, then you can't unlock it anymore) So, I've unlocked the golden ship, but what are the differences between it and the normal ship? Are they just cosmetic, or there are gameplay-wise changes too?

How do I kill the Treasure Goblin in Hell?

I've been playing through Hell mode on Diablo 3 for the better part of a day and have come across 3 Treasure Goblins. On all the lower difficulties you can either stun or disorientate him to cancel the portal. I've tried doing everything I can to stop him on Hell mode, though, and he still travels through. Is there a way, apart from blowing him up and killing him before he teleports, to stop Treasure Goblins from teleporting away?


Minecraft offline name changing mac WIth MCPatcher

I want to change my minecraft name to be able to connect offline with friends on a mac and I am doing so at the moment with this command:               #!/bin/bash           cd ~/Library/Application\ Support/minecraft           - Djava.library.path="bin/natives"           net.minecraft.client.Minecraft "YOURNAMEHERE"      It has been working fine but I have a texture pack that uses MCpatcher. It works fine when I go through the normal launcher but when I go through this command file, Some of the fundamental textures don't work. It's like it skips the patcher files! Now I tried my best with the little java coding knowledge I have but to no avail so I was wondering if someone could come up with another code that works with MCPatcher. I think all it's doing is missing a couple of class files but I could be wrong. All help would be Greatly Appreciated Thanks

Replay analysis: Why opponent got bigger army and why psy storm is so weak?

Recently I played PvZ and lost (http://ggtracker.com/matches/5047035). Trying to analyze reasons, I've figured out that at the beginning of the 1st big engagement (around 16-30) opponent had army which had 40 more supply than main. I analyzed replay and cannot understand how did that happen. I do see mistakes from my side:   * non-used resources (but opponent had poor resources usage as well)   * non warping units during the battle (neither opponent did)   * etc... But still, if opponent has such a big advantage in quantity, it is hard to beat him. Question: what did I do wrong so I had so smaller army? Side question: looks like psi-storm is not really effective vs hydra/roaches... should I better start with Colossus? Thank you for any advise!


Is playing MW2 via AlterIW legal?

Long ago, I bought a copy of MW2. As I run it, it requests me to make a Steam account and assign the game to it -- otherwise, it doesn't let me do anything at all. Not even single player. :( On Google, I searched for "MW2 no Steam". Google came up with 2 things: Some illegal "no Steam" crack and "AlterIW". I'm almost sure that applying that crack is illegal, but what about playing through AlterIW? Here is AlterIW.net. I read some article about it, and what it said was: "AlterIW net is an alternative to steam which also has much servers..." What do you think about it? Legal/illegal? What makes things even more complicated is that I'm playing this on a Mac - with Wine.


How do I kill the boss of Grape Garden?

This boss completely confounds me. The only enemies I have seen give me the High Jump ability, which seems rather useless, and the boss keeps removing the clouds I am standing on, so I usually fall to my death if he doesn't kill me by running into me repeatedly. I haven't really figured out what to do here, other than to keep floating upward, which doesn't really gain me much, because I am not actually hurting the boss. What do I need to do to kill him?


What Borderlands 2 DLC is required to get 100% achievements?

What effects, if any, does your choice of gender have?

After browsing through some of the Kingdoms of Amalur questions, I noticed that one achievement would have you wooing Rast Brattigan. Now, I imagine that Rast is receptive to wooing from either sex, as is often the case in video games when romance and achievements meet, but that got me wondering whether your choice of gender has any significant impact on your playthrough or not. By significant, I mean something more substantial than references to your gender in dialogs. This is not unprecedented - Fallout 3 comes to mind, where your choice of gender would actually change the set of perks available to you (Black Widow vs. Lady Killer), and would in turn change the way you interact with male and female characters in the game world. The Mass Effect series is also a fine example, where specific romance options are only available to a specific gender. So, just what does you gender affect when playing through Kingdoms of Amalur?


Why can't I build pagodas in Civilization 5?

Does Sneak Attack count power attack?

The wiki said "Sneak attacks do not "combine" with power attacks: you will only get the sneak bonus. (Otherwise, you would get an 18x damage modifier, which is enough to kill just about anything in the game instantly.)" Does it mean I don't need to press longer to make the slashing harder because it is meaningless? Should I press the button once quickly?


Why does sorting by DPS in the Auction House not always correctly sort?

I was browsing the auction house for a new 1 handed crossbow and decided to sort by DPS, clicking on the DPS and getting the arrow pointed in the right direction. To my surprise I noticed several of the entries were out of order. Page 2 had weapons with more DPS than page 1. After the first couple of pages however, things seemed to be correct, overall. Does the auction house use some method other than DPS to sort when I sort by DPS (ie is it considering a speed increase or some other factor)? ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/iVy5l.jpg)

How do you counter Mordekaiser?

Mordekaiser seems to be a character that pick-up groups tend to have trouble countering, if the Morde player knows what he is doing. Iron Man allows an armor-heavy Morde to absorb a lot of punishment from abilities, as the abilities tend to hit first. Conversely, Iron Man can be recharged in battle after all the abilities hit, which allows Morde to be magic-resist heavy and use his passive to absorb normal auto-attacks. Does anyone have an effective method of countering him?


How do I effectively lane against Mordekaiser?

Backing Up Cubeworld Character

I have just recently purchased CubeWorld and I do have to say it is an awesome game. Upon purchasing I decided to upgrade my computer with a new motherboard and CPU and I therefore had to reformat the hard drive and re install the OS. I just presumed that the characters would be saved to the account but apparently they're not. I spent 10 hours building up a character only to find that it doesn't save to the cube world account. Is there a way of backing up these characters? Also if backing up is possible does that mean people are freely able to share their characters with one another?

How do I charge a melee attack?

In Morrowind, you could hold down the attack button to charge an attack. Skyrim seems to automatically attack every time I press the button. This makes combat a lot trickier as I have to time my strikes and compensate for the weapon animation. **Clarification** : I am looking for a way to charge an attack by pressing the button and actually swing the weapon when I release the button.

I bought Capitalism II on gog.com and began tutorials. I saved them and I want to back-up those file in my Dropbox directory. Where are they?

Is Chell an android?

I have played through Portal and found several references that somewhat point to the fact that Chell may be an android.   * GlaDOS says "Well done android..."   * and "Android Hell is a real place where **you** will be sent..."   * Chell does not say anything like Atlas and P-Body. (this may be excused by her brain damage due to suspension)   * Chell is an "orphan" and there by has no record of parents or family.   * Cave Johnson says that the repulsion gel does not interact well with the human skeleton, but Chell gets covered in it and appears to be fine.   * The Moon Rock gel is supposed to be extremely toxic since it appears to be killing Cave Johnson. Again Chell is covered in it and is fine. So, is Chell an android?


What's The Significance of the House in "Crack in Stoney Port"?

I just finished "Crack in Stoney Port", but I don't get why the house is there.

I Can Not Find Any Galactic Adventures IN GAME?

So I bought Spore™ around 2 years ago, and the Galactic Adventures™ EP. Played all the way to the Space stage from Cell and was given maybe two mandatory Adventures to play through. But since then I have not found a single one. I even uninstalled the game out of pure frustration.. as it felt like I wasted my money on the EP. I have since re-installed it.((2 years later)) But _STILL_ can not find any Adventures while actually playing in the Space stage. **NOTE** :: I know I can play them outside of the 'campaign mode' I'm sure they put that in specifically because they are impossible to find during actually game-play... Someone once suggested to me that I should go to every Empire and ask for missions on the off chance one gives me an Adventure Mission to do. Is that really the only way. I want he full experience and I'm not getting it because I just CAN NOT fand any of the RP Adventures. Please Help! I just want to 'level' up my Captain and unlock all the Captain's Items((accessories?)) ect.

What are the highest FIDS yields possible for each planet type?

For the large majority of the game, the planets you're dealt are the planets you get. But as you approach Endless Space's endgame, terraforming options start to open up, and suddenly the formerly simple task of resource optimization gets much harder. Sure, a basic 0/1/1/5 Arctic is obviously worse than a basic 2/1/2/5 Tundra, but the Arctic planet gets different bonuses from improvements and the like - +0/0/0/5 with a Global Tech Park compared to the Tundra's +0/0/0/3. While resources and anomalies obviously factor into this, terraforming the planet won't affect them, so they're moot for this purpose. What are the highest yields from exploits and system improvements alone?

Buying an "import" Xbox one model, what will and won't work?

I notice that some of the electronic stores in Norway has started to sell Xbox One as an "import model", stating that local services are not yet available. I understand the part about local services, like local access to movies and tv series or whatnot. What I'm wondering about is if buying such a model will waive access to other things in the future as well, or locking me to services from a different country? For instance, say I ordered that Xbox One in Norway today, "import model", would I never get access to Norwegian services? Will I forever be locked to, say, UK services, or spanish services, or wherever they imported it from? The web page mentions that in order to buy content I would need to enter the zip code and stuff like that from a country which currently officially sells Xbox One. Will I then forever be locked to that country? Or is it a temporary issue until Xbox One actually do gets released here in Norway? Note that Norwegian consumer laws will protect my rights in case of warranty issues, I don't have to deal with Microsoft or the source country regarding such things, the shop where I buy the item will be required to handle those things, so the only thing I'm asking about is what, if anything, will I be locking myself into?


Playing the piano in FF5

I noticed that when I played the piano in the very first town you go to it came up `Got better at piano` or words to that effect. So I was just wondering, do you have a 'piano' skill so to speak.

Why do the tournaments have "place holder picks"?

While watching the League of Legends tournament teams ban between 3-4 champions, you'll see picks like Eve, Xerath or someone very atypical of tournament play. Someone will do this while the rest of the team goes serious picks. When they remake the game (which I also don't understand the perpose of) they do joke bans and inevitably the person with the Eve (or whichever) will pick someone else. Why do they do this?

What's the best way to earn "Demolition Man" trophy?

I'm replaying through Battlefield: Bad Company 2 on my PS3 at the moment and want to unlock the last trophies I missed during my first playthroughs (mostly MP trophies). I've got one trophy which seems to be kinda difficult to get: > **Demolition Man:** Online: get 20 demolish kills What's the best way to achieve this trophy? I tried playing as an engineer with RPG or recon with C4 and blow up every building (or at least _prepare_ it to collapse it with a grenade or something), but it's very difficult to get demolish kill. Can you give me some advice for getting this trophy?


Pokémon inheriting abilities they shouldn't?

I am trying to breed for a Togepi (preferably female) with Serene Grace as its ability. All that is hatching, though, is male Togepis with Hustle (the other ability - neither of them are hidden). In the day care right now is a male Togetic with Hustle and a Soothe Bell and a Ditto without any items. Bulbapedia and Serebii mention something about inheriting ability slots from the mother, but this Togetic is male and Bulbapedia takes care to mention that a Ditto as a parent negates this possibility. I have bred fifteen Togepis so far. Every single one of them has turned out male and with Hustle. The chance of not a single one of them having Serene Grace, assuming the chance for either ability is 50%, is about 0.003%. This doesn't really seem probable - is there something I am doing wrong?


How to get more renown?

I know that the long range scope for the mosin is quite rare and is very likely to be found at military locations (baracks, tents, police departments, ACTs).

What are the space requirements for a tall Jungle Tree trunk?

Can I dig a deep 2x2 shaft in the ground, plant 4 saplings on the bottom, give them light and bonemeal and have the tree grow to the very surface? Or does the space requirement mean there must be free room around the trunk? I read there's no upper limit on the height of Jungle trees. Can I force the tree to grow very, very tall that way, by digging deep enough?


Any way to buy buildings not for sale in The Guild 2?

I'm playing `The Guild II - Pirates of the European Seas` and there are often houses/businesses for sale in the beginning that I cannot afford.

Do dead allies gain experience?

In Super Mario RPG, do dead allies gain experience? Typically in SquareEnix (then Square) games, dead allies receive no XP. But in this game, the victory pose at the end of the battle includes **all** team members, whether they were dead or not, and after a successful battle, even dead allies are revived with 1 HP.


Disabling Plugins for Users

I'm starting to run my first Minecraft server (using Bukkit latest on 1.7.4), and for the most part I just want it to be a base game. However, to protect a few things, I of course need a couple of plugins. (Particularly this is to use WorldGuard to protect specific areas that were complex to build. I can always restore from backup, but if a lot of time passes before I notice a problem then that's not really a win.) While I can use WorldGuard to accomplish what I need, I would prefer if it's a base game for other players. Is there an easy way to accomplish this? The closest thing I could find was this question, particularly the top two answers. The accepted answer looks good, but it seems to just disable the _listing_ of plugins and not the actual interaction with them. A user could still simply try various commands and find the plugins. The next answer involves aliasing several things to the `/help` command, which also helps. However, I'd also have to build a custom `/help` response and alias all possible commands (plugins included) except the base commands, and I don't have those lists of commands. It also seems like a losing game, especially if an update changes/creates commands. Additionally, it looks like I'd be overriding the commands for myself as well, which isn't desired. Is there any way to achieve what I'm trying to do? I just want WorldEdit/WorldGuard to be entirely unknown/inaccessible to other users so they just have a base game (and can petition me to "protect" areas they want to protect). Or am I going about this all wrong? I've only ever played the base game, no mods, and have only ever played locally. So I'm very much in uncharted territory with mods. I guess I just want to make sure that I'm not opening up more than I should, since I don't have a complete picture of what these mods allow users to do.


Support solider can't take cover, shoot or heal

I seem to be encountering a very serious bug and unfortunately it has happened on the alien base assault. For the past few missions my support sometimes won't take cover, lose the ability to shoot even if he is right next to an enemy and can't heal any friendlies he is within range of. It always goes away when the mission ends and doesn't always reappear. Unfortunately it happening in the base assault is going to end my Classic/Ironman run because I haven't moved out of the starting room and I've only killed 5 of the 22 aliens. Does anyone know how to fix this bug?


What the hell is a Gobbleshaft?

In the ultra-secret mission in _Surgeon Simulator 2013_ I've presumably been abducted by aliens in order to perform surgery on one of them. The only problem is that I've no idea how to perform a _Gobbleshaft transplant_. I took out what I guess were the ribs, and some weird green and blue wormy thing, and what's left is pretty weird. Which of these things is the Gobbleshaft? ![What is this I don't even](http://i.stack.imgur.com/eWsj6.jpg)


Are there any similarities between the plot of Modern Warfare 2 and the plot of Modern Warfare 3?

I've had a few debates with friends over the whole CoD franchise and all, and one of their biggest and most recurring points is that Modern Warfare 3 is the same as Modern Warfare 2 but with changed characters, weapons, and locales. The storyline being the same. What, if anything, in Modern Warfare 3 parallels or copies the progression of the story in Modern Warfare 2?


How can I watch 3DS Nintendo Video from another country?

I have an American 3DS, but I now live in Germany. The stupid media-licensing pillowfights are ruining my day, again. I just found out a bunch of great content is coming to Nintendo Video, and as far as I can tell there's no way for me to view it. When I try to download videos, it tells me they're "not available in this region", even though if I had a _German_ 3DS I'd have no problem. I know the 3DS has some kind of "proxy" settings in the wireless config, but I haven't been able to get it working. I've tried open proxies from this list somebody linked to from a forum, and I have a SOCKS5 proxy running on my computer (executive summary: `ssh -D8080 me@server-in-the.us`) through which I've successfully watched a ton of Hulu and Netflix on the PC, but which I've never been able to figure out how to use with gaming consoles. Has anybody gotten this to actually work? Can you lay out in detail exactly what you did to get there? Alternately, is there anywhere online (shady is OK by me, I _tried_ to do it the legit way) where I can watch this content?


Is it possible to obtain a set of the Mann Co. Supply Crate Keys?

I have a few crates in my inventory that I would like to open. I wondered if it was possible to have a pack of keys? I am not talking about trading. I'm talking about one item that gives me X keys. With sets, usually, the price is cheaper. I also wondered if there was a better time to another to get the keys. Is it be possible to obtain special? If so, is there a time of year in particular, or should I check the store frequently?


Where'd my chicken find the Space Jump?

I just noticed that as a chicken I have infinite double jumps. I know for sure this didn't exist when Pollo Power was first obtained, and I'm pretty sure the getting the actual Double Jump didn't unlock it either. So where did it come from?


What are the main differences between Modern Warfare 3 and Modern Warfare 2/Black Ops?

Besides updated plot and new features, were any actual changes made to the game engine or the graphics, etc.? It seems to me as though they are basically all the same.


How do you purchase the bad characters in LEGO: Pirates of the Caribbean?

In _LEGO: Pirates of the Caribbean_ , how do you purchase any of the bad/evil characters, like Davy Jones, the hammerhead shark guy, etc.? If you wait around long enough in the port, the bad guys eventually show up and start fighting. Unlike good characters, which you can purchase directly (hitting B on the Xbox 360 version), they don't show a way to purchase them, but they do show they are available for purchase. Is there a character I unlock at some point who will allow me to buy them, or is there some other way?


Finding Grenade launcher ammo for getting a relic on Research base

I have completed the game already and i am at 99% completion right now I need to find just one relic on the Research Base which requires the use of a grenade launcher to blow up the wall to get it, unfortunately since i have beat the game and killed all the enemies I couldn't find any ammo of the grenade launcher and i circled the entire Shipwreck beach, Hillside bunker and research base to find any but still unable to do it,Given the fact that grenade launcher comes only in the later levels it doesn't make sense for me to look at the older levels like Shanky town and mountain temple. Has anyone else run into this issue and found the ammo needed? It's very annoying because getting all the documents is worth 50G Gamer points and also will pave the way to getting salvages for the updates to my last weapon(rest of them all are upgraded) which is another 50G. Map location would be greatly helpful because even with the Fast Travel there is still lots of spaces you have to cover by running still.


High Scoring with Warmage in OMD2

For high scoring with warmage i use the vampire gaunlet-windbelt strat involving throwing mobs on to steam vents, which pushes them to a push-trap to a spring-trap (here orcs get flamed up with scorchers as well), and then the spring pops them into a grinder. I put a web-spinner in to the mix as well. It is easy to get 10x combo with this. However, I use up one slot for the mana- rage trinket because i just cannot manage the mana required for windbelt. With sorceress however, it is easy to achieve 13x combo (remove manarage and add acid spray, assuming i get one smash combo as well with the wind belt). So i was looking for an answer for the mana management with warmage. Is it possible to get highscores with warmage given his mana pool?


Is there any way to attract the guards?

During many of the games I've recently played where we've attempted to stealth through a bank heist, it has become apparent that the guards seemingly follow rigid paths that change as you kill off each guard. Is it possible to perform any action (being seen for a certain amount of time, shooting at walls, etc) that will attract a single nearby guard away from his path so I can put a bullet in him?

How to place 1x1 block instead of 2x2 blocks?

I would like to know if it's possible to just place 1x1 block in this game. Each time I place a 2x2 block, I have to use my pickaxe to remove the exceed I don't want. Is it possible ?


How can I get the aliens to start doing abductions again?

I find it a lot of fun to pause my store progression at the Gollop chamber and just pass the in-game months fighting aliens, minmaxing my soldiers and experimenting with different teams; however I am finding that the game is missing something - I am no longer offered alien abductions to deal with. The Wikia site for the game says that abductions don't happen in countries with satellite coverage and stop altogether when _most_ countries are covered with satellites, which is a good lead, but not nearly specific enough. What exact conditions stop alien abductions? Can I get alien abductions back after getting rid of them?


How can I change the language in Sins of a Solar Empire?

I've been given an Italian copy of Sins of a Solar Empire on DVD. The cut scenes are in English, but all the menus are in Italian. I can't find an obvious menu option for changing the language. Is it possible to change it? If so, how?


Clothing and armor

I am curious how clothing and armor exactly works. Inside Dwarf fortress you often see dwarfs wear up to 3 pieces on a single bodypart. With the latest dwarf therapist you can see these cloth pieces are catogorized as under, over and cover. What exactly do they influence?   * Is it better to wear multiple pieces on one bodypart?   * Can only be certain pieces like leather trousers be catogorized as over and a woolen cloak as cover?    * Does over or cover get replaced by armor?   * I never seen clothing wear off, but i have read it does. Is this implemented and how fast does clothing wear off?   * Do some materials influence the dwarfs mood when walking in certain weather types?


Building a prime netherwart farm.

So I've read on another question here of people building netherwart farms in the nether. Now I can understand this since thats the actual place you get the netherwart initially but personally i always build my netherwart-farm in the 'overworld'. I was wondering if there are differences in building this in the nether and overworld (and lets throw in the end while we're at it). Are there any differences with growing speed, best lighting level, adding water, (adding fertalizer(in ftb/techworld)).

Do returned cards go to the back of the deck?

At the beginning of a Hearthstone match, you can choose to either keep or discard your starting hand. If you discard cards, are they placed at the back of the deck or are they shuffled before the game begins allowing them to (possibly) come out in early draws.


Android app to increase readiness

So readiness can be increased through apps—are they only available on iPhone/iPod/iPad, or are they also available on Android? And what do I need to search to find it on the Android market? (Using an Xperia Play) If not available on Android, will I miss out on much by not using the app?


How can I see around my own muzzle flash?

I've been playing Nuclear Dawn as an Exo a lot, for the achievement _Armour Feels Good_ (Spawn as Exo 50 times in a row). I've noticed that nearly every time I engage an enemy, my own muzzle flash hides most of the screen around where I'm aiming. Once I can't see, I can't hit the enemy, and he takes me down quite easily. Is there anything I can do to help this?


What does the arrow in the bottom left corner do?

When watching someone's drawing bring drawn, in the bottom of the drawing area (above the letters) there are two icons. I know the one on the right, which looks like two arrows around each other, shuffles the letters around. What does the one on the left do? It looks like a curved arrow pointing to the right, but I've not been able to notice any function. I thought it might be to redraw the opponent's drawing, or to skip to the final result, but it never seems to do anything when I press it, either while the drawing is in progress or when it's finished.


Which level is best to get the mountaineer badge

I'm trying to get all the badges on Mirror's Edge for iPhone and the only one I'm missing is the mountaineer one (climb 1,000 meters) I was thinking that level 5-2 (“Underground”) could be a good fit to get it, but I can't seem to find a couple of pipes close **and** long enough to do the climbing. Is there a better level to achieve the mountaineer badge? (maybe some of the ones with elevator holes).


I didn't fire the Blackstar, how can it best be exploited?

I found the Reaper Blackstar during Priority: Palaven and I resisted the urge to fire it, relying on conventional weapons to finish the mission. It now appears next to my weapons bench in the Shuttle Bay. What is the best way to use this single shot heavy weapon going forward? Is there a board where it will be highly useful or is there a plot twist that will benefit from it being present and unfired?


How does weight affect the cooldown of my abilties?

I know that carrying more guns around increases the cooldown times on my skills, but what is the exact relationship? Does it influence every skill the exact same way or are some more susceptible to this than others? Is it percentage based or a flat increase in the number of seconds I have to wait? Is there a maximum amount of penalty I can have, and if so what is that?


What is the effect of weapon weight?

Where can I find Mark and Recall?

I decided to take a break from Skyrim and reinstall Morrowind for the first time in years. Unfortunately I can't remember where to buy the mark and recall spells, and no one I've checked yet has them. Is there anyone who is guaranteed to carry them, is it random, or is it level based?


How to switch from interlaced to progressive mode on Zelda Wind Waker on the Wii?

My son selected interlaced video when he started playing Zelda Wind Waker (GameCube game) on the Wii. Now it doesn't prompt us to switch back. Does this make a difference on the Wii since I set it to progressive in the Wii setup already? Is there a way to switch Wind Waker back?


How do the choices at the end of the Grissom Academy mission affect my War Assets?

During the Grissom Academy mission, it's mentioned how the children there have been trained in "biotic artillery" strikes and such, but they may be a bit too green for the actual battlefield. At the very end of the mission, you get to decide what to have them do, either join the Alliance as biotic support or join in a more offensive role. I ended up being a bit of a softy in this case and chose what seemed to be the more Paragon choice of having them do support rather than offense (I blame reading the novels and ending up fond of Kahlee's character in them. Except Deception, because that one's _awful_ ). As a result, the "103rd Marine Division" war asset of the Alliance received a 50 point boost for the biotic support. What kind of boost do they get if you take the offense route?


Where can I find my wishlist when browsing the Playstation store?

I like to keep track of the games I want to buy sometime down the line. Since most of said games are on steam, that's a rather easy task. However, there are also some games I want to pick up for my PS3 in the future. I've set up my wishlist by logging into the PSN's website, but when I browse the Playstation store on my PS3 I can't seem to locate that wishlist anywhere. Where is that wishlist hiding, if anywhere at all?


How do I electrocute myself?

As per this question, I've already figured out I can drug myself. But there's another Steam achievement that says to complete a procedure after _electrocuting_ myself. ![Surgetricity](http://i.stack.imgur.com/u4JLE.png) Clearly this is something I have to try. How can I achieve this? When I think about things in the environment that might electrocute me, nothing comes to mind, and the achievement icon doesn't seem very helpful either.


Is there a plugin for limiting classes?

Background story: some friends and I are thinking of hiring our own TF2 server. We want it to be public, and any players are welcome. One thing that really bothers us in every game in current public servers is when a player suddenly decides that all snipers in the team are idiots and the team desperately needs a third sniper. Coincidence or not, that's when the team's performance goes down the drain, and the opposite team rolls over yours like a bulldozer. The same could be said for teams with 3+ spies, that would be just as true. **Is it possible to configure a TF2 server with a plugin to limit a team to at most 2 snipers and 2 spies?** If so, how? What's the best plugin for this (a quick Google search shows hundreds, but we can't say how mature or buggy they are)? How easy is it for a bunch of beginners who have never administered a TF2 server to start? _< Russian accent> Many thanks!_

How do I get Skyrim to recognize I don't have a follower anymore?

I went to do The Blessings of Nature quest where you need to get Eldergleam Sap. The pilgrim (Maurice Jondrelle) died in a fight on the way there so I was forced to battle with the Spriggans. They were beating me, so I decided to just book it, hoping Faendal would follow me. I noticed a while later he was gone but didn't think anything of it. Anyway, he didn't show up and I killed the dragon, getting Lydia to join me, when I asked her to she said it looks like someones already in my group, so I looked for Faendal, finally found him back at his house after I broke in and slept in his bed. However, he isn't in my party and when I ask him to follow me he says I've already got someone with me. I think the game still thinks Faendal is following me because I never told him to stay put, or go our own ways. I've even tried killing Faendal, paying my fine, then getting Lydia. But she still thinks someone is with me. When I talk to Faendal, the only option I have is to improve my archery or have him follow me. How can I unlock my follower slot so Faendal (or someone else) can join me again?

What goes missing when changing your quest in Diablo 3?

When I go to change my quest in Diablo 3, I get a prompt telling me "Starting a new game with a new quest will overwrite your currently saved progress". What will be overwritten? My checkpoints? Waypoint access? Achievements? Whether or not I've killed Diablo?

What happens if you pick up multiple Beholder's Keys?

I've noticed that sometimes you can find another Beholder's Key while you're still carrying one. Once I picked up three, but I once again had none once I used on a door. What happens to the other two? Do they return to their chests? If not, do some doors become inaccessible?


Do you have to beat the game in one sitting?

I've played through the game up to the first miniboss (Kali), which was a six minutes long battle that kind of worn me out. ![enter link description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/yjXQX.png) When the following encounter started, I decided that I'd take a break. After all, the pause menu says "SAVE & EXIT" and that sounded precisely like what I wanted to do. ("MAIN MENU" is also an option, so I assumed that was the "Don't save & exit" button. Both ask for confirmation.) Nope! When I clicked then on next I was met again by encounter 24 (the first), with all mages at level 1. Groan. Do I _have_ to do it all on one sitting? Can I restore my progress to that point in the game?


Is there a way to browse the Civilization V mod hub without activating the game?

By default the mod hub is located at this gamespy address, which is a web service, so not browseable using just a browser. Is there a service available somewhere that will allow me to browse the mods directory, preferably with sorting capabilities?


How can I get easier enemies in casual mode?

The daily quests often force me to play some classes that I have not much experience with and no good decks for. This makes it rather frustrating to play them when the matchmaking puts me against opponents that would be fair for my best class and deck. One idea would be to repeatedly concede every casual game directly at the beginning to lower my win rate and get ranked lower in the matchmaking. But that seems like a rather obvious tactic and I would guess that Blizzard might have done something to prevent players from exploiting this. Does repeatedly conceding to lower your own rank in casual play work? Are there any other ways to get yourself to rank yourself lower to make it easier to fulfill daily quests?


In Batman: Arkham Asylum for Windows Live, how do I get back to offline profile?

I have been playing this game to around 50% when I got this stupid idea: why not create a GFWL account. Now all my save game slots are empty and I can't manage to get my previous save game. I've tried to copy/paste my old save game but the game told me that it is corrupted... Is there a way to get back to the good old offline mode and continue my adventure ? If not, does the same thing will happend to my other GFWL games ?


i3 core performance problems

I just tried to play Quake3 (QuakeLive) on a new laptop with an i3 core integrated GPU, running Ubuntu 10.10. Strangely, the performance was terrible. I'm running on intel driver, which seems to load correctly. I know it's not a high-end system, but I got used to Q3 being fairly playable on 3 year old built-in i850GM with single core CPU, which was obviously much worse. After switching to i3, I get barely 5fps, even if I use very low resolutions (640x480 and similar). What could affect the performance that much? What should I look for? There doesn't seem to be anything obvious in the Xorg logs, or my xsessionerrors.

Does party size influence magic find percentage?

I have heard many a rumor going around in the Guild Wars 2 community that you get a hidden magic find buff if you are in a party of five. After looking everywhere I have found no evidence of this claim, and yet...I still create parties of random people just to get a potentially hidden buff. Every little bit counts, right? (I have a full MF set of armor, with food I sit at +139%) Is there a hidden magic find buff for being in a party of five people? If so, how much additional MF% is it?


What stats are useful for pistol users?

I have been leveling my private eye using pistols, but I don't do much damage. I was wondering what stats are best for a pistol user to do the most damage, and if there is anything else that will increase my damage.

Is there a canon order for the main missions in Mass Effect?

Playing Mass Effect i found that some parts of the story in the Main Missions didn't seem to make sense in terms of logic. ie. on Feros Shepard having no idea about Sovereign's Indoctrination even though ealier on Noveria Benezia had explained it. Noveria is closer to the Citadel than Feros so it would make sense that it would be done first. Considering that the main missions can roughly be done in any order i am wondering if there is actually a canon order to do the main missions in?

Would this affect the free referral month in any way? ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/CMX5W.png) We haven't seen each other or partied online in the game yet, do we need to do that first in order for me to receive the month?


Is it possible to strafe/sidestep?

Is it possible to sidetep or strafe in Heretic? Currently I'm playing using `Cursors`, `ctrl` and `space`. I'm struggling to avoid enemy projectiles without the use of a strafe. I've avoided using the mouse as it feels strange to not have free look. I don't see anything for this in the options. Will I need to modify my config files or similar to enable this functionality?


Does throwing Krieg the Psycho's axe when Buzz Axe Rampaging count as melee?

A lot of Krieg the Psycho's skills (especially in the Mania tree) allow him to deal bonus melee damage. I am wondering if skills that increase melee damage affect the Buzz Axe Rampage action skill when the axe is thrown (hold right- click, then left-click, by default on the PC). Also, what about items? Will Maylay Shields still deal bonus 'Roid Damage' when the axe is thrown? Will Strength Relics and Class Mods that increase melee damage affect thrown axes? The Borderlands wiki states that: > Critical hits in melee inflict ×2 damage. Weapon or skill critical hit > bonuses do not increase this any further. If I throw Krieg's axe while BAR is activated, will the critical hits behave like a melee critical hit or will it behave like a gun critical hit? What if I have the Buzz Axe Bombardier skill (Bloodlust skill tree)? It's described as: > When thrown, your Buzz Axe now has dynamite attached to it which explodes on > impact. ![Krieg the Psycho - Buzz Axe Rampage](http://i.stack.imgur.com/bRo6V.jpg) EDIT: Two of the current answers: [1], [2] conflict on how much damage the thrown buzz axe does compared to a melee'd buzz axe attack. Can anyone clarify?


Play Harvest Moon without reading game guides and the like?

Yesterday I started to play Harvest Moon (the original game for Gameboy). I haven't played any Harvest Moon title before, but I've played some other similar titles like Animal Crossing and Viva Pinata. There seem to be no real introductions (except that I can put things in the box to sell them). Do you think i should play it blind and just keep trying everything or should I read something about the gameplay or watch some videos on the internet to have the most fun? Just to make it a little more clear: Is there something I could do wrong that will screw up my Character / Savegame? Is it possible, like in most MMORPGs, that if you dont know the classes you may start your character wrong (eg with wrong STAT's)?


What is the answer to the riddle in the necromancer training room?

In _Might and Magic: Clash of Heroes_ there is a riddle in the necromancer training room where a skeleton asks you to enter a two-digit number. The number he wants "matches" the number of spider legs, brass coins, and "broken time". On the walls of the room are three murals, one of a spider with seven legs, one of three hourglasses of which one has fallen and broken, and one of five coins. I have tried 13, the obvious answer, with no luck. I have also tried 15 assuming the two standing hourglasses still count as "broken time". Neither worked. (I am playing on the DS but I imagine if the Xbox 360 / Playstation 3 versions follow the same campaign, the riddle has not changed.)


What happens if I switch Bonus Powers?

I've got a subset of the bonus powers unlocked, but I've been paranoid about picking one. If I regret my decision later, I'm not sure what I can do about it. For instance, picking a power appears to cost 4,000 credits. If I change my mind, will I have to pay 4,000 credits again to unlock another? If I want to switch back to the first power, do I have to pay the 4,000 again, or is paying it once per-power sufficient? Also, what happens to any level-up points I sink into a given bonus power if I switch? Do I get those points back, or are they applied to the new power in the same way they were applied to the old?

How can I determine the center of a village?

Since an Iron Golem’s spawning zone is a 16×16×6 area at the center point of a village, I want to build a structure around this area. Sometimes I want to build a grinder there, other times I want to build something that looks like a golem forge to make it look realistic instead of them just randomly appearing out of thin air. To do this, I need to determine the center of the village. How can I determine the center of a village regardless of whether it is one built from scratch or a generated one that is naturally spawned? Also, for generated villages, is the center determined before or after the village is built? That is, is the center point chosen then structures built around it, or are the structures generated first then the center calculated from them afterwards? (I don’t think it matters, but I’m using version 1.7.2.)


How do I find out who is voice chatting in TDU2?

Test Drive Unlimited 2, while fun, is seriously marred by an immature player- base. Having to put up with a semi-constant stream of profanity is wearing me thin, to the point where I'm considering turning it off for good. But before I do that, is there a way to find out who's yelling at me at a given time? I'd much rather block/report them than turning voice chatting off completely. Thanks!


How do critical effects like knockdown, bleeding, freeze, incineration, poison and stun work?

On your character screen in the abilites section is a list of critical effects and your chance of inflicting them. At the moment it looks for me like this, with a depressing 0% for everything: ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/fQSzy.png) I have a sword that has a +X% for bleeding and poison, but equipping it does not seem to increase the chance of critical effects here. How does the calculation work, and how can I get an non-zero chance of inflicting any critical effects?


How are abilities unlocked in the Witcher 2?

On the character attributes page is a section for abilities (different from talents). I've earned the abilites Axii sign hex, cover, conjuror and assassin. Each of those gives a certain bonus, which is nice, but I have no idea how I unlocked most of those abilities. I got the Axii sign hex when I first used Axii in a conversation, but I've no clue how I unlocked the rest of them. Are they given to you on certain events, or do you have to do something special to get them? ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/AF2Pu.jpg)

How to disable death camera and speed up level restarting in Alien Swarm?

I have played on ASBI servers where death camera is disabled. Also there is a nice feature when the last player dies you don't have to wait and look at the "Mission Failed" and "Statistics" window but the level restarts quickly, writing with yellow text "Forcing ready..." How do I create a server from inside a game to have these features enabled? I have downloaded and installed ASBI's server.dll and h_alien_selection.txt. But this didn't help


Modifying DOOM images,characters, and levels?

For a High School English project I need to make a video game about Dante going through Inferno (yes, I know there is already one). I thought that I could modify the game DOOM and make my own levels, and images for guns and such. This is a very old game, and modifying it should not be too difficult. Does anyone have experience with this, and what tools should I go about using to do this? I am proficient in Java, Python, and C#... If that helps at all.

Which provides more mitigation -- Dodge or Armor?

I finally hit level 20, meaning I can start buying nice shiny new runes. But one question I have only found discussion (but no numbers/calculations) about is the potential damage mitigation of dodge vs armor. Leaving out Quints for the moment, if I got a full set of armor Seals, I'd have 12.69 extra armor. If I got a full set of dodge Seals, I'd have 6.75% chance of dodging. Is there any math anywhere to support which will reduce damage more over time? I'm just trying to figure it out for the sake of knowledge. I don't just want opinions of which you think is better, although you're welcome to include your opinion in your answer. I simply want some sort of reference to which absorbs more over a period of time, based on which I could make decisions for my rune page.


Is there any way I can change the targeting reticule?

The targeting reticule in _Antichamber_ is very minimalist (likely the intention), merely a small white dot with a thin black circle. While I'd normally appreciate the unintrusive UI, I sometimes suffer from motion sickness when playing games from a first person POV, and the combination of the low FOV and the fact that the targeting reticule so easily blends in with the background makes it so I can play this game only in very short sittings before I start to feel ill. While the low FOV contributes to this, I'm loath to change the FOV because of the number of puzzles I've come across so far that change depending on the direction you're looking or actually _require_ you to be looking in a different direction. Seeing as I'd like to try to play the game "as intended" as possible, I'd prefer only to do this as a last resort. I figure if I can at least give my eyes something more obvious to focus on, it will help prevent me from becoming so quickly nauseated. Is there any way I can easily replace the file for the targeting reticule with something custom made that's a bit larger/obvious? I know the game's made in the Unreal Engine, so I figure there should be a way to do this. I have no experience modding the Unreal Engine 3 at all though, so thorough steps would be appreciated. I'm running this on a Windows 7 PC.

What are the differences between the M15 AT MINE and the M2 SLAM?

## On Battlelog if states: ### M15 AT MINE   > High Explosive Anti-Tank mine that detonates when vehicles pass by in close > proximity. Capable of a Mobility Kill on even the heaviest armored vehicles. ### M2 SLAM   > Selectable Lightweight Attack Munition usable as either an off-route Anti- > Tank mine or a traditional land mine. Blast damage is less than the M15, but > is still capable of a Mobility Critical on heavily armored vehicles. I read both of these but don't understand the main difference. It tells that the M15 does more damage but then why use the M2 SLAM. Help anyone?

In SimCity, if you were to zone for residential properties near what would be a scenic view - like a seafront or near cliffs overlooking the city or rivers for example, would the value of these properties increase in a similar manner to if being placed near a park or a school?

Where do I stop grinding level and focus on my gear?

I started to play Path of Exile and really enjoy it. I played some games of this kind before so I know the concept. I know that Path of Exile as a level cap of 100. However it is kind of long to reach as I can on the official forum and official game FAQ. I want to know where I should stop "grinding" experience doing with the stuff I picked up on the ground because I know I'll use something else later and start focusing on having a good gear and maybe use the crafting materials I kept all the way through the dificulties. For exemple; In diablo 2 when you were between levels 80 and 85 it was a good time to stop grinding and start gearing up. I'm open to any Math-based or non-math-based answers as well as any experiments you can do!

How do you escape the Riften jail?

Through one deed or another, I have found myself in Riften jail. How I got there is not it important (I stole someone's sweet roll DX). Me, being the master criminal I am, have found myself in many-a-cell, and through cunning wit alone, I have evaded serving an actual sentence. I will not let Riften stop my streak! The worst part of it all, is that taunting shadowmark. The shadowmark is the symbol for a way out, and beside it, on the wall, is an invisible broken shackel. When I activate said shackel, absolutely nothing happens, and the "activate" promt disappears. Tell me, my internet palls; "How do you escape Riften jail?"

How to avoid the bug when you cannot join either team - class change and team change keys not working

Sometimes during the map restart, when there are many people joining blue or red team, I usually meet the bug when I choose a team to join, but it fails (due to too uneven number of players probably), and when I try to choose a team again, nothing happens - pressing `,` or `.` doesn't work - neither class menu nor team menu is appearing, and all I see is the map aerial view with scoreboard. The only thing to do is to re-connect to that server (which is not always possible if the server is full and you're still connected but 'stuck', so no player slot is available). How to avoid this or how to prevent, or how to recover from such a bug?


Does Deus Ex: Human Revolution require Steam to play on PC?

I want to know if PC copies of **Deus Ex: Human Revolution** bought at retail can (or must) be activated on Steam to run? I've seen information indicating the game uses Steamworks (implying it can or must be Steam activated), but then conflicting information to indicate the _Steam version_ of the game uses Steamworks (implying non-steam version cannot be activated). If anyone can find an official source that would be most helpful.


What are the best weapon types for each class in Diablo III?

> **Possible Duplicate:**   >  Are class-specific weapons better than other weapon? Does it matter what kind of weapon you equip, for example a crossbow vs. a sword ? Are any specific classes stronger when using a certain weapon, for example a Wizard using a wand ? I am most interested in hearing about the Witch Doctor class.


Are there any (early game) advantages on using wands over other weapons for my Wizard?

> **Possible Duplicate:**   >  Are class-specific weapons better than other weapon? I have a level 10 wizard and I am still using the wand I started with. I noticed my damage seems to fall off in comparison to the other characters I was in game with, who had picked up new weapons as the act progressed (none of which were wizards). That made sense to me as they were melee classes using melee weapons. I have been reading and apparently I can wield any weapon and my magic damage increases (ok a rusty axe does more magic damage than a crooked wand, weird?!). After looking quickly at low level weapons, wands seem to offer a pretty low damage output and offer no magic bonus of any kind. Is there any point in using one when I can just use a sword that has a higher damage value?


Is there an advantage if I use knuckles with monk instead of daggers?

> **Possible Duplicate:**   >  Are class-specific weapons better than other weapon? I am starting with monk and asked a friend what weapon I should use. He told me that my priority should be on knuckles and fist weapons. I started out that way but daggers seem to be much better because of their attack speed. Is it because knuckles work better with a shield or am I missing something? Why prioritise knuckles? Do monks get bonus damage for them or something? ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/UcU2L.jpg) vs ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/HKB2R.jpg)

What does "Verify Integrity of Game Cache" do?

I realize that many times when there is an issue with a game on Steam, it can be solved with "Verify Integrity of Game Cache". But, what exactly does this do? I tried running Darksiders and it gave me an error of "Missing Executable", so I figured the verify would easily catch that and install the missing files. I was wrong, though, since the validation found no problems with the installation and the game continued to not launch from the same error. I'm curious as to what exactly the verify option does. I know on some other games I have tried it on, steam will end up downloading some files, but apparently not all files are included in this.


How does the "face import" patch work on Xbox 360?

I've completed _Mass Effect 3_ and just started a second playthrough before learning that this patch was released. How do I get my original Shep from 1 & 2?

Transfer SC2 Installation from Mac OSX to PC

I am trying to transfer the Starcraft II install folder from Mac OSX to a Windows PC. The disk didn't work on my Windows PC as it stopped at 51% but it installed perfectly on the Mac computer.

The internet where I am is very slow and expensive, and I don't want to download a 6-12GB file. Thanks much!


Can I make up for missing skill opportunities?

I have a sim who mastered gardening/cooking/fishing skills. According to sims wiki, I should have get omni plant and some other plants via skill opportunities. Because my sim is filthy rich, I wasn't paying any attention to opportunities, because I thought they were just for extra money. However, I want to get Master Planter challange, and for that, I need to plant every possible plant. Can I somehow get this opportunities again? My sim is kind of immortal, so in game time is not problem. Edit: I just realized I had something else filling up my skill opportunity slot. I removed it and waiting for the moment. But this question is still valid.

How can I deal with monster spawns in Sokoban?

A few times recently in Sokoban, I've been having issues with inconvenient monster spawns that end up blocking my boulders. I most frequently run into this trouble when I'm nearing the completion of a level, when the level's long "pit corridor" is almost entirely filled in. Although I've verified the hallway as being fully clear of obstacles ahead of time, by the time I walk back to my boulder and push it all the way through the passageway, occasionally a monster has suddenly appeared in the hallway in front of the remaining pit(s) and I get stuck. The only thing that I can figure is happening is that a monster is spawning in the passage after I check it, but before I'm able to get the boulder to the pit (with no real opportunities to re-check the corridor as I move the boulder due to the structure of the level). I can always destroy the boulder and use/create another, but I'd obviously like to avoid the Luck penalties if possible. Is there any good way to mitigate the odds of this happening, and/or fixing the problem when it does? Methods that would be reasonably accessible to an early-game character (and, ideally, without assessing Luck penalties) would be preferable.


Fallout 3 Tank Build Tips and Explanation

My wife and I have recently come back to Fallout 3 after doing New Vegas and taking a break from the wastes for some GTAV. On our previous run, we focused on mainly well-rounded, with a little more towards sneak and energy weapons. This time, though, we'd like to go with a brute-force tank approach - we've already done our S.P.E.C.I.A.L. so I'm not sure if we've miffed ourselves or not, but we haven't taken the G.O.A.T. and set up our tag skills nor perks. Given our S.P.E.C.I.A.L. set, what can we do to make sure we'll have a worthwhile tank once we go through the tag/perks and start leveling up outside of Vault 101? ## S.P.E.C.I.A.L. Strength - 10   Perception - 6   Endurance - 8   Charisma - 1   Intelligence - 3*   Agility - 10   Luck - 2 * After we had already done this, someone on the GameFAQs forum suggested a 3 of Intelligence in their tank build, but failed to elaborate on why "it's a good idea" – any suggestions as to why would be neat.


What should I do when the Scale Warriors boss uses his shield?

In RockSmith 2014, there's a game called Scale Warriors. At the end of each level, you go up against a big red dude. Sometimes when I try to hit Big Red, he raises a shield to block the attack. Unlike the shield in Ducks Redux, this one does not seem to be affected by taking a series of hits. And because no other scale notes are lit up, it doesn't seem possible to retreat, either. Are my Scale Warriors inevitably going to take damage once Big Red raises his shield? Or is there something I can do to avoid it?

Does fortify two-handed increase damage done with bows?

It's unclear to me whether "two-handed" means just two-handed melee weapons, or if it includes bows. Logically, a bow is used with two hands, so it should work, but I want to make sure before I waste a black soul gem on a 13% fortify two-handed magic ring. **So, does "Two-handed attacks do 13% more damage" apply to bows, or just melee weapons?** ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/gafMt.jpg)

How can I get the most out of Shock Pulse?

In _Diablo 3_ , the Wizard has a signature spell called Shock Pulse. This spell causes a (seemingly) random burst of lightning on the ground in front of you. The problem with this is that it is a) uncontrollable, and 2) extremely limited in range. Due to the Wizard being exceptionally squishy, it's very beneficial to not let the enemies get close to me, keeping them out of range for this limited attack. **How do I make this spell worth using? Should I just avoid it altogether?**

Join Game over VPN (MCPE)

I have multiple iOS devices in one city and one iOS device in another city. I'd like to play Minecraft Pocket Edition with the other device but I can't seem to get it to work. Here are some more details:   * All devices are iOS, all with the latest OS at the time of this writing (6.1.2), and all using the latest MCPE at the time of this writing (0.6.1 alpha)   * No devices are jailbroken and this isn't possible in my scenario   * All devices have Server Visible by Default enabled   * All of the local devices are behind a single Wi-Fi router and have play MCPE together before   * The LAN is on a Linksys WRT54GS wireless router   * I also have at my disposal a Windows 7 Home Pro laptop From what I read and watched, this was possible at some point, but all examples I saw were _limited to MCPE v0.3_. I have configured successfully the Windows box to act as a VPN server (using Windows 7's built-in VPN feature); a 4G iOS device was able to connect to the VPN and visit an intranet website on my home LAN. But, when a local iOS device has MCPE started and a map in play, the 4G-connected device cannot see it in the Join Game screen. I'm experienced as a web developer but not really experienced as a multiplayer gamer; I think I could handle the technical setup stuff but there may be an obvious gaming thing I overlooked (like some UDP nuance, or port added to the router forwarding or something). _Is what I'm trying to do even possible? What am I missing, or am I even on the right track?_


When can I play the Mass Effect 3 DLCs if I've already beaten the game?

I want to get and play the Mass Effect 3 DLCs, but I've already beaten the game and don't want to do another playthrough just for the DLCs. Can I still play the DLCs? If I recall, ME3 has a few auto-saves that it keeps, so I should have one right before the final mission(s) of the game? Could I simply use one of those for the DLCs, or are there certain points for each DLC where after that point, you can't activate them anymore?

Shows 26/27 progress.](http://i.stack.imgur.com/Br0bh.jpg) I went through all of the Gardens of Hope (both tiers) and destroyed all the corruptions I could see. But still I am missing one. Does anyone has a clue?

Is there any way to flee from a boss fight other than death?

If I'm fighting a major boss in Diablo III (Maghda, Belial, the Big D himself, and so on), is there any way to escape or flee from the arena other than death? Can I quit the game, or yank my ethernet cable?


Panning camera?

I find the default camera controls in M2-TW very unpleasant. Is there a way to pan/strafe camera rather than having to turn it all the time? Also, is there an option to zoom out more? I tried playing a canyon custom battle and couldn't zoom out camera to eagle's eye view unless viewing a hill.


How much is the markup for ordering items from the Happy Home Showcase?

So I received a special visitor today to my Happy Home Showcase. ![his body is ready](http://i.stack.imgur.com/1jGM4.jpg) I know that you can order items from people who have homes in your HHS for a higher price, but it's not stated in-game, in the instruction booklet, on Nookipedia, or on the Animal Crossing Wikia exactly _how much higher_ that price is. Reggie does actually have a few items I'm interested in, but I'd like to know how much more I'll have to pay. How much more do I need to pay for ordering through the HHS?


Do engines require their extra power bars to be powered to influence FTL recharge rate?

When you upgrade your Engine Systems, it increases the rate your FTL drive charges during hostile situations. To reap this benefit, do your upgraded engine's need to be MORE powered than otherwise or is it enough to upgrade them and use only 1 bar of power?
