What's the most powerful sword in Chrono Trigger DS?

The most powerful weapon in the original Chrono Trigger was the Rainbow Sword, which I've already gotten. However, I've seen suggestions around the net that the DS version has something even better in the Lost Sanctum. I've completed all of the LS quests (annoying as hell though they are), and got the Icewyrm... but the Icewyrm is still less powerful than the Rainbow. Is there something else that I'm missing?


Rock Band Drum Versions

I recently purchased Rock Band 3 and would like to upgrade my old Rock Band 1 drums. Is there any difference between the base drum kit for RB2 and RB3? I know RB3 has a new cymbal kit but I cannot find any information on whether inprovements have been made to the core. It would be cheaper for me to buy used RB2 drums and the RB3 cymbals so I want to know how viable this route is. Will they work on full pro mode in RB3?


Is Vietnam addon for Bad Company 2 a remake of an old BF: Vietnam game?

Is Vietnam addon for Bad Company 2 will be a remake of an original Battlefield: Vietnam game (similar to how BF 1943 was to BF 1942), or it's a completely different game? If it's a remake then what features will be carried over?


Can mobs activate pressure plates?

I have one on each side of my door for quick in/out of my house, and if they can activate pressure plates then I'm most likely doomed.


How do skills fit in combat?

The combat system of Fate/Extra is pretty straightforward: 3 different moves to choose from, each strong against one and weak against the other. This is essentially Rock-paper-scissors. Additionally, the Master can cast spells, which consume the Master's MP, or use items, none of both influence the Servant's own move. So the Master can heal/buff his/her Servant or attack the enemy without losing a move, though this can only be done once per turn. And then there's the Servant's own skills. Servant skills consume the Servant's MP, but using them means the Servant can't attack, break, or guard. How exactly do the servant's skills fit into the rock-paper-scissors scheme? If I know the enemy is going to use a skill (Servant's or Master's), should I guard, break, attack? Does it even matter?   Can the enemy retaliate against my own skills? How exactly am I supposed to react to enemy skills; how should I use my own?


Where can I find the Biotic Amp Interface?

As I was walking through Huerta Memorial in _Mass Effect 3_ , I overheard an Asari talking about a Biotic Amp Interface that could be beneficial to the war effort. I seem to remember hearing her say the interface was at Grissom Academy, but I've searched there pretty thoroughly and haven't found them. **Am I looking in the right place? If not, where can this item be found?**


If you finish vampire quest and turn into vampire, can you go back?

This question is my follow-up to this one : How do you become a vampire/werewolf in Elder Scrolls Online If you get vampire disease and do not cure it, is there a way back? I mean - lets say, you get to lvl 50, you are vampire, but for whatever reason, decide, it is not a good choice and the character is unplayable for you. Can you then cure vampirism and become a regular person, ditching all the effort and skill points put into vampire skills?


The Sims 3: Earn 10,000 Simoleons?

In The Sims 3, one of my sims has the wish to "Earn 10,000 Simoleons". Even though she is at the top of the corporate career ladder, she doesn't make even close to that much. Is there something I should do outside of her regular job to fulfill this wish?


What is the fix (patches, mods, ect.) for the enchanting price bug?

There is a known bug where the higher your enchanting level when making an item, the less it is worth. While in the past, I remember being able to exit and restart the game to fix the price, I am no longer able to do such, and have begun searching for some fix to this bug. See this link for an old question asking about it (the question was not asking for a fix, so I do not think this would be a duplicate).


Does collecting Dr. Fetus increase odds of finding other bomb-related pick-ups?

In two recent playthroughs, I've picked up Dr. Fetus early on, followed shortly by other bomb-type pickups - Bobby Bomb, Mr. Mega. I seldom see these pickups, so I'm wondering if gaining Dr. Fetus increases the chances of also gaining the related items?


How to sell items marked as sellable?

In Rage by Bethesda, there are several items marked "sellable" that have no use other than sale. How do I sell them? All that appears when I go to a merchant and try to sell stuff is the supplies. I'm certain I have these items, as they are in my inventory, but they are not shown when I try to sell them to a merchant. I was successful in doing so very early in the game, but not anymore. Pressing R1 takes me straight to ammo to sell. Am I missing something?


Skyrim Whispering Door quest help!

I am pretty far into the game, and I chose stormcloak over imperial. Doing this made the first jarl Balgruuf go away and the new one replace him. I didn't know about the quest at the time, therefore I didn't get the quest done. Is there any other way to obtain the artifact and do the quest now that I've gone far?

Borderlands 2 Multiple of same DLCs?

When I bought Borderlands 2 on Steam, I bought just the standard edition. I little later on I purchased the season pass, and everything was totally fine. During the summer sale, I bought the rest of the DLC that the season pass didn't get me. I went to try to load my character and the game gets stuck on the loading screen forever. Literally forever. It never stops. The only thing that has changes is the new DLC. When i right clicked and checked the DLC that I had for the game, I had multiples of some of them.   * I have "Collector's Edition" and "Collector's Edition Pack", which I assume are the same thing.   * I have "Creature Dome" and "Creature Slaughterdome", which also must be the same thing.   * And I have 2 Ultimate vault Hunter Upgrades. I tried disabling all DLC, reinstalling the game, and verifying the game cache. When I verify the game cache it says one file failed to validate and will be reacquired. But is doesn't seem to reacquire it since it says this every time. Any ideas how I could have multiple of the same DLCs? And what is wrong with the game?


Optimal all-around character builds

I'm looking for a good build for Scarlett and Roderick in Divinity: Original Sin (first playthrough). I want to experience as much as possible of the content, so the goal is to cover as many areas as possible, which means between the two main characters I want:   * Loremaster   * Crafting & Blacksmithing   * The four elemental magic lines   * An ability to get to hard to reach places (such as **Tactical Retreat** from the Marksman line)   * Lucky Find   * Sneaking, Pickpocketing and Lockpicking   * **Pet Pal** talent for the extra conversations   * High **perception** to spot hidden things The best I could come up with so far are a Ranger (dexterity) and a customized caster (intelligence) build with the **Lone Wolf** talent. I'm sure there are better combinations out there, what are they?

How to exclude a MW2 Map Pack to a PS3 account?

My son downloaded a Map Pack for Modern Warfare II on PS3 with his account. When I play to MW2 with my account, I don't want to play into these maps. Is it possible to exclude these maps from my account and not to my son's account ? We have two different PSN identifiers. * * * EDIT If I join session with someone that haven't downloaded the Map Pack, it's desactivated.


Call of Duty: Black Ops vs Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 - CoDPoints vs Unlocking

From what I understand, all unlocks are obtained in Black Ops through purchasing with CoD Points, which are obtained from leveling. In Modern Warfare 2, unlocks are available by getting certain amounts of kills with certain weapons. Which is a better system for a completionist? Will the CoD Points system restrict me from getting every weapon, perk, etc. in the game? Does prestige reset both your weapons and CoD Points?


Why would spending money on a tile lower my score?

I was playing Civilization 5 as the Arabian empire, and one of my warriors found some Ruins and earned me about 70 coins. My score was 14 at the time, and didn't go up due to the increased amount of money. I spent them on a tile nearby my city, and my score went from 14 to 13. Could someone please explain? How does money effect score, and number of tiles not?


Is there a full version of Super Smash Flash 2?

I have played Super Smash Flash 2 Demo for a while now. I enjoy the game very much, but you can only Brawl there. Like I said, I enjoy the game, but I want do something different using my favourite character (Ichigo :P), other than beating up other opponents. The first version of Super Smash Flash has a lot more characters than the second part, and even has a story mode. Since the title says "Demo", I'm guessing there is a full version to that game. So I was wondering if any of you guys know about the release date of the full version or where to find it. Please tell say any information you may have. :)


What instances have been removed from World of Warcraft?

Since ZG and AQ20 have been placed on the map, it seems like they've turned into ghost towns and lost their denizens. Naxx40 long ago flew North, but what other instances (5p or raids) have vanished, and their lore with them?


How do the stats convert into a percental value?

In the character overview you can see your stats like Critical Hit Rate. For maxing out dps, healing and damage reduction, I would like to know how I can convert those numbers into a percentage. This would be interesting for those values:   * Critical Hit Rate   * Determination   * Defense   * Parry   * Magic Defense   * Attack Magic Potency   * Healing Magic Potency   * Spell Speed maybe?   * Skill Speed maybe?

I have been playing the game Savant Ascent on PC for 1-2 days now, and I got 4 full CDs from finishing Story and 1 full + 1 piece from Time Attack and Endless combined. How many CD pieces are in TA and Endless, respectively, and do I have to last longer than 2-3 minutes to get the endless ones?


Does the 1.3.0 update fix the Android retail dream job bitizen max level bug?

Prior to the 1.3.0 release on 2/6/14, there was a bug on Android where the highest level you could get for a bitizen whose dream job was a retail floor was 8. I want to know if you are now able to obtain a bitizen whose dream job is a retail floor with a level of 9 instead of 8 as a result of this update.


Fallout 3 runs better on medium settings than low?

I bought a Radeon 6570 HD recently and decided to play Fallout 3. When messing with settings to get a smooth FPS I noticed that the game runs better at Medium settings than low settings, it's much more choppy at a low setting. So I was just wondering if anyone has any ideas why this happens? Other Specs Ram 3Gb P4 3.2 GHz HT Motherboard (unsure, one that comes with Dell optiplex gx 620 )


Where is the Krogan DMZ?

One of the side missions has the goal of rescuing mercenaries from the Dranek system, inside the Krogan DMZ. None of the clusters in the galaxy map show that mission under the name, so which cluster/mass relay should I jump to in order to complete this quest?


Does Silent Roll work with Critical Charge?

Critical Charge is a perk in the One-handed constellation, and Silent Roll is a perk in the Sneak constellation. In particular, I'm wondering if it's possible in the latest version of Skyrim. I've seen at least one video where someone is able to do it along with an attack-spam glitch to move quickly. If it is possible, what input is necessary to perform it? I can't do it.


Tiny Death Star keeps crashing - anything I can do to save it?

So I have been playing tiny Death Star religiously for the past couple of months and I managed to get 99 levels and upgraded my elevator to the turbo one for 125 bux, I was fairly far along. I had even decorated 60 levels to unlock the overbridge. The other day I was playing when I noticed that all of the remaining levels only cost 1 bux to unlock, I thought it was a promotion and quickly snapped up all the levels. Soon afterward my game crashed and I've not been able to boot it since. I've tried restarting the iPad, closing out the game, turning off the iPad, turning off the wifi, switching from online to local and vise versa, nothing works. I really don't want to delete and reinstall the game because it seems there's no way to save it with gamecenter. Is there anything I can do to salvage it? *I haven't linked it to Facebook yet but now I obviously can't do so in game... Is there a way to do it through fb and gamecenter or does it have to be in game to save progress?

I was trying to connect to a new server that i saw that other people are capable of connecting to but im unable to connect to it and it keeps saying "io.netty.channel.ConnectTimeoutException: connection timed out: (server IP)" For some reason it's not letting me join and its said that on another server ive been playing on and said this on another server "java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused: /(server IP) Ive tried methods for fixing problems for this but when i try terminal the commands dont work and the other 2 servers used to work for me but suddenly stopped working a few days ago.


What does this goblet icon mean?

How can my gas canister become hostile to me in Dredmor? Caused Instadeath!

I can't quite work out how this happened in Dungeons of Dredmor so I would be curious if anyone else understands what happened. On level 8 (my first time that low) I was slaughtering a monster zoo and had full health (and full mana). I cast the rogue scientist's gas canister into the open area near a few enemies and I wasinstantly killed. This can be seen from my screenshot which didn't even update to show my decreased health as the death occured in on frame. I had maximum alchemy (which increases the gas canister attack). The text explaining what is going on says "The Gas Canister becomes hostile". My gravestone says that I died from "losing all my health" rather than attributing it to an enemy as it normally would. It took me several hours to get down that far and I died with almost no explanation and none that made sense. To my understanding (though I had only fought a few of the arcane disruptors so far as I just got on the floor and I had never gotten there before) was the debuff I had prevented me from casting spells but gas canister is a skill, not a spell. My question. Was this a glitch? Was it a feature that could have been prevented? ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/Mn4ve.png) I likely won't play the game ever again unless I can understand what happened because that was very disappointing.


Effective military scheduling

Recently my militia commander has got a bug up his rear. Looking at his thoughts, I see that he is both upset at being relieved from duty and also depressed from long patrol duty. I currently have him and two other dorfs in a squad. This squad is set to train year round. Should I intersperse the training schedule with breaks (by breaks I mean no orders)? Would this prevent him from feeling like he had a long patrol duty? Or does that count as being relieved from duty? Also, my training orders have a minimum of 10, so that all dwarves are training together, instead of 1. Should I have a minimum of 1 and hope that they train together to allow for breaks?


What does a friend having their status as Snooze mean?

One of my friends has a status of Snooze. What does this mean?   How is it different to away or busy (apart from it not being available in the list of options)?


Injustice: Gods Among Us - What do levels really mean?

I picked up a copy of Injustice: Gods Among Us recently, and played some single player while waiting for my wife to get home. When she did, we launched a multiplayer game (both signing in with our Live accounts). She was really upset when she looked at my tag in the corner and saw 'level 11'. She comes from a strong RPG background, and she went into the battle thinking she had no chance against me 'since I was so much higher in level'. I managed to convince her, finally, that the displayed level was an account thing, which didn't affect my character's abilities, health, or damage. It may have been easier if I hadn't thoroughly destroyed her in the first few matches. It did get me wondering what the level actually means. I know I get a few bits of in-game currency for unlocking costumes and music each time I gain a level, but is that all they do?


Can you choose your faction during the campaign?

Titanfall has two campaigns, one for each faction, the IMC Campaign and the Militia Campaign. Is there anyway to choose your faction before matchmaking? It it helps, I've completed both campaigns.

Change Key binds for Simcity

For the life of me I can't find anything about changing key bindings for the new SimCity... I've always used "v" for voice chat in TeamSpeak and I don't want to rebind... I've looked and looked and I can't find out how to change the binding for "v" in SimCity for the annoying video recording.


Splinter Cell guards know everything. Possible to fix?

In Splinter Cell Chaos Theory, whenever you get spotted by a guard or shoot them with an airfoil round or something even up close, the same split second all guards in the area magically knows you're there. I want to fix this in any way possible. Cheats, game modification, anything, because it's starting to get on my nerves and really kills the realism.


Why do elemental DOT effects sometimes deal 1 damage each hit?

This is an odd thing I've noticed with Burn and Electrocute now; sometimes I'll get a solid hit on an enemy causing a Damage Over Time effect...but it does just 1 damage per "tick", causing a fountain of 1s, instead of 2000-4000 per, which my effects normally do at level 50. It's not because the target resists it; I've seen it happen to Flesh enemies hit with Shock and Burn damage. And sometimes a target will take multiple normal DOT stacks and one or two "1 damage" stacks. So an enemy won't _always_ be taking 1 damage per stack, one enemy that takes a 1 damage stack will suddenly take full damage the next stack, so it's not because of resistance, immunity or adaptive shields. I've even noticed these 1 DPS effects on _myself_ now, and not while using an immunity or adaptive shield. It was Fire so it should have done normal damage. Also, oddly enough, I've noticed _2_ damage per "tick" DOT damage from my mechro on both Fire and Shock; I think that might be because her Shock DOT is boosted 75%, and her Fire DOT was caused by a skill which turns Shock DOT into extra Fire DOT. So it would seem the base power of the hit was somehow actually 1, amplified to a beefy 2. What causes these super low damage DOT effects?


Do some items make the Blood Moon event more common?

I'm playing in a new 1.2 world, and the Blood Moon rises nearly every night! My character is currently weak enough that I'm having a tough time staying alive, and it's getting to be frustrating. Are there items in the game world that make the Blood Moon event more likely to happen? Or is lady luck just giving me the finger? I'm specifically wondering about some of the new monster banners that you can obtain. I've put a few of the ones I've obtained up in my character's castle; could one of these be the source of the never-ending Blood Moons?


Can you raise your character's main ("Hard Cap" - Level 81) level higher in Dawnguard?

I didn't flesh out my level and perk strategy as well as I would have liked (I got it nailed down at level 65). I also assumed the Hard Cap was level 100. My character will still come out, I'd say, approx. 85% the way I would've liked. I'm at level 72 now (gotta get a life, huh :D), and I've mapped out my remaining perks. Anyhoo, if there are new skills, that will allow me to level up further and pick new perks, which would be awesome. Oh, fyi, I don't like spoilers and I don't want to learn the Dawnguard story (I'm like that with most games), thus my ignorance of Dawnguard.


How to make sea races appear in GTA V?

I'm nearing 100% completion and have only the sea races to complete (with the 1 motorcycle race). I've completed the mission "Hood Safari" and have tried hopping on the in-game version of the jet ski (as Franklin) to see if that helps, but they still don't show.


Do other vehicle stats, besides health, stats scale with level?

I have read on the wiki that vehicle health scales for 5 level intervals of your level (5,10,15, etc.). Is this true for other vehicle stats (boost time, boost speed, damage)? Because when I'm car-fighting enemies that have scaled up in level since I last fought them, I feel like I'm still killing them just as fast.


In the quest "the search for mandragora" where is the pot exactly?

In this game Unepic there is a quest "The search for Mandragora" for which you need to find a white pot in which you can keep the uprooted Mandragora plant. Does anyone have any idea where the hell the stupid pot is? I've spent about 3 hours looking for that useless item and even gone through a youtube video but can't find exactly where he picks it up.


How do I get my Pokemon?

I discovered the Pokemon Global Link site, and got a few different Pokemon in the Dream World, which was neat. I have no idea, however, to actually get them in game. The game mentions I have to go somewhere and talk to someone, but I have no idea who or where. I am relatively early in the game (I am currently in the Pinwheel Forest), so I might not have access to wherever I need to be to get my Pokemon, which is fine, but when will I be able to get to where I have to go?


How to use price guarantees in Patrician 4?

In Patrician 4, once you have been elected Lord Mayor, it is possible to create a list of items whose price is guaranteed by the city treasury. If I understand correctly, this means that the treasury will fund the difference between the guaranteed and the market price. How can this be used to one's advantage?


How does ignore affect interactions with team mates?

Sometimes I'm forced to ignore someone on my team for some reason. Can a player I've ignored still see my chat/pings? Can I see their mini-map pings?


Why is it important to minimize g-loading when dropping bombs?

I've seen mention of excessive g-loading (g>1.0) as a bad thing on an A-10 when doing a bombing run. Shallow dives resulting in g-loading between 0.8 and 0.9 were ideal. What bad things happen when there's excessive loading? I'm looking for the direct effects of excessive loading.


Whilst shooting e-tech guns, the muzzle opens

EVE Online - Aggression Mechanics

I have a few questions regarding the latest aggression mechanics. Lets say I'm with a buddy down in the ice fields, and gankers show up and start shooting him. If I were to apply shield/armor rep to my buddy in an effort to keep him from getting ganked, will I get a suspect flag and/or lose security status? I know you get the suspect flag for repping the criminal/suspect, but what about his victim/target?


Is it possible to manually cancel Shen's ult?

Say I ulted someone as Shen and for whatever reason needed to not teleport (only want the shield for a teamfight where I'm already there, if ult into a fight where I know I'll die, etc) Is there a way to manually cancel his ult and stop the channel?


Does my Nationality affect gameplay?

When creating a new profile, it asks you to choose your Nationality, giving you a pretty decent selection of countries to choose from. Not having played any of the earlier games in this series, I'm wondering if this choice has any ingame effect or if it's just for flavor. Will the types of races or cars available, the order that things unlock, or the sponsors available to me change based on what I choose?


How do people keep killing me so fast?

I keep getting killed within seconds of contact. Example: x=wall m=me e=enemy               x m   x     x     x     x     xxxxxxxx     x            e     xxxxxxxxxxxxxx          x     x     x m   x     x     xxxxxxxx     x            e     xxxxxxxxxxxxxx          x     x     x     x     x m   xxxxxxxx     x            e     xxxxxxxxxxxxxx          x     x     x     x     x     xxxxxxxx     x  m         e     xxxxxxxxxxxxxx      And I'm dead nearly instantly. At first I blamed lag, but this is happening consistently in all kinds of situations. Contact is made, and BAM. I'm dead. I've also considered camping, but the game has a minimap so I know where he is just as well as he knows where I am. In the above example, I had my cursor on where I expected him to be (and he was there) but he killed me faster than I could kill him. And neither of us were Exo's, so I didn't have to wait for my gun to spin up and he didn't get the advantage of extra firepower. Is there something I'm missing here or am I just that bad?


How can I find Morokei?

I found Morokei (Mask) and wasn't using it, so I gave it to my follower. I think she then died. I know where she died (if she did), but when I go there her body isn't there. And I'm on XBox 360 so your console cheats won't work here. I want it back because I got > Got the Archmage Robes after Savos Aren died and I completed the College > Quest want to be a better mage. I also went back to where she was to see if she respawned for some reason (~10 hours have passed in real time). Any help?


What's the easiest or quickest way to build bases under water? Stopping every 15 seconds for air is becoming very infuriating. Are there mods or something I can do to speed up the process or even just perhaps allowing me to stay under water longer? At the moment, I build a grid of how many blocks I desire, then do a one-block tower in a zip pattern and level to the height of the grid, and then put a ladder on each of the blocks which removes the water block.


Can you play Baldur's Gate without a mouse?

I am currently forced to game on a laptop, and was on verge of viewing life as empty of all meaning, until I remembered Baldur's Gate (and Good old Games). My question is as above: can you play Baldurs Gate without a mouse, and what impact does mouse-less gaming have on your game (if any)?


Which strategy to follow at the beginning of Colonization?

Coming from Civilization IV I should say that Colonization is a bit different, and I have some difficulties to understand which approach should I follow **at the beginning** (first 200 hundred years).   1. Should I try to build many settlements immediately or should I build one or two at maximum?   2. Which behavior should I take with the natives? They surprised with attacks that I do not expected many times...    3. Should I always accept tax raising and tax demands or could I say no sometimes?   4. Should I trade with natives or other country or it is better take goods to Europe? Any other hints is well accepted.


What do the painted symbols mean?

There are a lot of "mural paintings" in the game, obviously drawn by the Solarii Brotherhood cult. Some of those seem to tell a story about the sun queen or seem to indicate that the Solarii are there against their will (prison-like lines counting the days), but others seem to be indicators targeted at the player. ![symbol](http://i.stack.imgur.com/7uuJM.jpg) ![symbol2](http://i.stack.imgur.com/0BcQj.jpg) The first one seems to indicate that a hidden tomb is nearby, I have no clue what the second is supposed to say. What helpful symbols are there in the game and what do they represent?

How do I play the online co-op campaign?

My friend and I really enjoyed playing the co-op campaign together in Magic 2012. However, we can't figure out how to play the co-op campaign in Magic 2013. According to Cooptimus, the game supports 2-player online coop. So, **how do we play it?**


How do I fix my keyboard's unresponsiveness?

I have recently purchased a new mechanical keyboard and during several gaming sessions, I have noticed that my keyboard's back light would turn off for a few milliseconds; along with my keys not functioning correctly. I also use a headset and each time this happens to my keyboard, my audio makes a snapping sound like it had been disconnected. Could it be the USB ports or is it the equipment itself? I have had no issues with my previous keyboard. This also happened only when I'm in game.


Do TF2 dedicated servers require special config to allow players to get item drops?

I was planning to set up a Windows dedicated Team Fortress 2 server using this configuration guide and the linked TF2 Windows Dedicated Server page from the official team fortress 2 wiki. However, I don't see any mention of item drops or any server cvars I should leave alone to avoid breaking them. So is there any special configuration required (or any settings to avoid, besides the obvious `sv_cheats 1`) for a dedicated server to allow players to receive item drops? **Edit:** Added links to pages now that I have enough rep to do so.


Idle worker button in Starcraft?

Is there an "Goto Idle Worker" function in Starcraft I, an idle worker indicator, or an idle worker count? **Note:** Not Starcraft II, this about the 1998 game.


Which symbol represents which AI?

Its been a while since I played Space Rangers 2 and now I'm playing the HD remake. I don't exactly remember which symbol represented which of the 3 AI factions. They factions are:   * Kelleroid   * Blazeroid   * Terronoid  I have a Transfactorial Beacon that can summon Kelleroids and I want to do it in a Blazeroid/Terronoid system to make them fight each other.

What's the disadvantage of not completing bonus objectives?

The first mission in Thief has a bonus objective "headshot 10 threats", but as a veteran Thief player killing random guards is completely unacceptable. Will I miss anything important by not completing this bonus objective?

What's the fastest way to get to Queen Araneae?

I hate the bounty for killing the spider queen. That stupid spider cavern is the worst. Is there any way you can get through it faster, or predict where things are going to be?


What are the tactics associated with stunning weapons?

In the advanced edition of FTL, a number of "stunning" weapons have been introduced whose primary function seems to be stunning the enemy crew for a certain number of seconds. Additionally, some basic ion weapons and others have been given a low chance of stunning enemies. While I can see the benefit of a weapon stunning foes as a random side-effect in a situation where I am focus-firing on a shield system and am able to delay the ongoing repairs via stun, I can't find a way to justify going out of my way to purchase a weapon whose primary effect is a stun when it suffers in other ways consequently. For example, compare the ion stunner versus the ion blast 1:               -- Ion Stunner --     Warmup Time: 10 seconds     Cost: 35 Scrap     Ion Damage: 1     100% Chance to stun for 5 seconds     Power: 1          -- Ion Blast I --     Warmup Time: 8 seconds     Cost: 30 Scrap     Ion Damage: 1      Power: 1      The Ion Blast 1 fires 2 seconds faster. The significance is if I pair two of these up, I can easily lower any level of shielding by staggering the shots. I'm not sure I could pull that off with the stunner. Furthermore, I don't seem to get the effect of delaying a repair because if I'm doing ion damage to a system (exclusively) they can't repair anything anyway! Also I'm out slightly more scrap for my choice. A more poignant example:               -- Stun Bomb --     Warmup Time: 17 seconds     Cost: ?? Scrap (Can someone fill me in?)     Ion Damage: 1     System Damage: 0     Crew HP Damage: 0 (Maybe 15? I've forgotten)     100% Chance of 10 second stun     Power: 1          -- Small Bomb --     Warmup Time: 13 seconds     Cost: 55 Scrap     System Damage: 2     Crew HP Damage: 30      Low chance of Fire     Power: 1          -- Breach Bomb I --     Warmup Time: 9 seconds     Cost: 70 Scrap     System Damage: 1     Crew HP Damage: 30     100% chance of breach     Power: 1      I won't even go into the Ion Bomb which is crazy overpowered for 1 power cost. Among these three bombs, the breach bomb is generally preferable but costs more. However, both the breach bomb and the small bomb seem to have a heavy advantage over the stun bomb. They fire far faster, deal permanent system damage instead of a _single_ point of ion, injure the crew significantly (I can't recall if the stun bomb deals 15 damage or not), and have nice side effects of a chance of fire or a certainty of a breach! I can't see why I'd want to stun crew for 10 seconds instead of those other attributes! **Am I missing some set of tactics that involve stunning the enemy crew?** What is the saving grace of the stunning weapons?


Using the Courtesan in multiplayer on PC

For a long time since I've been playing, I had the feeling that the **Courtesan** was just not a selectable character in multiplayer on the **PC**. I _know_ that console players have been able to choose her but it never seemed like PC players were able to. Some people say that you need to be at level 50 so she would be unlocked -- I think they're talking about Brotherhood. But I've seen videos of people less than 50 and were playing as **Courtesan** and I've already gotten past level 50 once and am currently at level 40 -- working my way to prestige -- and I have yet to be able to choose her. She doesn't even appear in the roster as unlockable. What gives? I've seen similar questions on the net, all not really having a right answer as they answer from a console player's perspective. Now, I've seen a player online and they were using the **Cortesan**! They've prestiged once already (at level 48 and about to prestige again) so I'm guessing I _must_ prestige once before she's available? Or maybe it's just a coincidence since the first DLC has been out and she's a bonus? Can anyone verify if this is true or know exactly when she may be used on PC?


Does Deus Ex (original version) make a distinction between dead and unconscious?

I've been going about trying not to kill the 'civilians', e.g. the troopers and such. I like using the riot prod as one shock will knock 'em unconscious. I figured great, I'm not killing anyone, and they're out of the way. However, on a lot of occasions when I knock people unconscious the game seems to react like they're dead. e.g.: > When I knocked JoJo unconscious as he was about to kill the Rentons, they > talked as if they'd never have to deal with him again, and JC confirmed JoJo > was dead. and > When I told someone I wanted to use 'necessary force', he said oh whatever, > but when I bought tranquilizer darts from him he said "so much for > 'necessary force' eh?" implying I would be killing people. Also the Unconscious people never get up! And if I shoot unconscious bodies in the face they don't become 'dead'. So is there a difference or might I just as well be shooting people?


What is the combat formula in Stendhal?

I would like to know precisely the influence of the different factors (equipment, attack & defense, level) in combat in the MMORPG Stendhal. I did not found the formula computing the hit points, is it available somewhere? **Edit:** as answered, the formula is quite complex; a few things I was not sure of that can be confirmed by looking at the code:   1. the x between DEF and the defense provided by items is not misleading: these two stats are multiplied (similar for ATK);   2. the actual value for defense is a geometric mean (square root of the product) between the above product and the level;   3. both 1. and 2. are mitigated by additive and multiplicative constants, so at low level the level does not count very much. There are some strange things in the code, though. For example, the weighting of the level for the computation of the max defense is given by a multiplicative constant. But inside a geometric mean, the right way to weight should be to use level _raised to a constant power_. This is mitigated by the additive constant NEWBIE_DEF that complicates the interpretation, but the formula still makes little sense to me.


Does a sapper affect a large robot beyond disabling his allies?

The spy's sapper can be a fairly decent fair to disable a large group of robots, though usually only have to leveling it up. It's also great for holding targets still for back-stabs. The only problem is that when a spy saps a large robot, that robot will not stop moving or even attacking. The large robot does seem to visually glitch a little, you can see the sparking sapper, for instance, and the robot tends to bend over a little...(lol) What effects does a sapper have on a large robot? Does the sapper have any effects other than temporarily disabling a small robot and his allies?


Why can't I convert Muslim provinces?

I am playing as Castille and have captured Granada very early on as part of the _Reconquista_ national mission. However, this leaves me with three provinces of **Sunni** religion in my otherwise Catholic nation. From the beginning I was unable to convert them, because it said it would take indefinitely due to the following modifiers: ![Its always sunni in California](http://i.stack.imgur.com/Cawmt.jpg)   * Base value: +2%   * Sunni: -2%   * Earth Rampart: +0.1%   * Provincial Tax Income: -2.5%   * Local Missionary Strength: -2% I have continued to play for many years now, but I am still unable to change these modifiers. This leaves me with a hotspot for rebels and no way to reach religious unity. * * * 1) What do **Provincial Tax Income** and **Local Missionary Strength** mean and how can I change these modifiers? 2) What is the best way to convert Muslim regions to Catholicism?


What are potions supposed to do In Find Mii 2?

What is the point of trade steering?

I read a lot about trading in the ingame hints, but still cannot figure this out. When I send a merchant to a trade node, I have the option to collect money from the node or to steer the trade "uphill" to another trade node. What advantages do I get by trade steering? If I send someone to this trade node, is it not equally good to collect the money there right away? Does it always make sense to steer trade between two nodes I have merchants in?


What's with the dark side of the moon?

Usually I see real moon phases in minecraft. Half moon, Crescent moon, Full moon, ect. Tonight, I see this. ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/kZkU5.png) What gives? An Eclipse isn't likely, as the moon is progressing through the sky WITH the darkside matching its pace, rather than going in the opposite direction.


Minute Long Redstone Delay

Currently I have something like this set up: B-R-R-R-C-R-R-R-C-R-R-R-C (etc...) B stands for a redstone block, R stands for a repeater, and C stands for a command block. I have a line like this (curling back once in a while, but **not a loop** ) up to a **minute** -- but this method uses 120 repeaters at full delay. What circuit could I use to create something that behaves AS CLOSE AS POSSIBLE to what I have now, but taking up less space? Specifically: 1) Removing the redstone block power source won't stop the already-sent signal 2) Must have room for gradual command blocks (so at 20 seconds I could have a command block, at 30, at 35, etc...) For specifics, this is my Deathmatch system in a vanilla Survival Games map. When the minute is over, it reaches command blocks which teleport everyone to one location. The admin in the match uses a command button in a /tellraw command to start the countdown for Deathmatch when (s)he deems it appropriate - this command sets a redstone block as the input. After it is placed, it remains placed for the rest of the game -- but I want to be able to destroy it while not stopping the minute countdown for debugging purposes. And, as it's a countdown, it needs to be able to send out a signal every second to command blocks for stuff like "15 more seconds until Deathmatch!" Summary: I am looking for a delay as opposed to a timer. I do not want a signal that loops and am **not looking for a necessarily long delay** , I just want an **accurate** delay that is more efficient than using repeaters AND **can support gradual output** (IE at half delay an output, at three quarters, etc...) **Hooking a timer up to an AND gate with the input won't work _as far as I know (if you know a way please tell)_** because if the timer was half- passed when the input was given, then the "delay" would be half the intended time. And removing the input signal **should NOT stop the delay from continuing.** It also needs to be **silent** , as it is close to the surface, and non-laggy (no super-quick repeater loops). I am asking for a very specific redstone circuit, I know.

Does the "Sweeper" Combat Bonus stack across all battles or only 2+ enemy battles?

The Sweeper Bonus is gained from "Defeating an enemy party of 2 or more with one attack". Obviously not every battle will have 2+ enemies in it and there is nothing you can do about it. Would a battle with 1 enemy break the chain? Or does "in-a-row" mean 5/10 2+ enemy battles in a row and single enemy battles don't count?

If I only have a few trees, will furniture always spawn in them?

In Animal Crossing a couple different trees per day will have a random furniture item (makes sense, right?). However searching all trees in my current town is a pain as they're spread far and wide. If I were to cull the majority of non-fruit trees in favor of fruit trees and a small, condensed patch of normal trees, will furniture always spawn in the small group? Will I get less furniture this way or are there other reasons I should avoid this strategy?


Why is Jarl Ulfric abusing General Tullius?

Stronghold locations in 1.2.4 vs 1.1?

It appears that the stronghold locations have moved. I had found a strong hold at one point in a creative world that my little kids like to play in. I found it in 1.0 or 1.1. I didn't write down the coordinates. Since that time, we're running 1.2.4 and we are using an eye of ender to try and find the stronghold again, and it's taking us to a nearby, but different spot, a spot just on the edge of what we had previously explored. So, when we get to new areas, we find vestiges of a stronghold, all of which end abruptly at the "old explored area" vs. the "newly generated area" boundary. I've also tried flying to a totally different part of the world, to see if the eye of ender takes us to a different stronghold, but no luck. It's my understanding from the Wiki that there should be 3 strongholds, all roughly equally spaced around the center, roughly 1km from (0,0,0) but no matter where I go, the eyes of ender always take me back to this non-existent stronghold. Is there any app that will give me strong hold locations for a 1.1 minecraft seed? My seed is: -6550982739431437639 Any suggestions?

How does the Troll Blacksmith's "reforging" work?

The Troll Blacksmith offers to "reforge 2 items and turn them into one of better quality". Before I permanently do stuff to my items I want to better understand how it works, and specifically:   1. I am required to "Select 2 items of the same type". What qualifies as the same type? e.g. can I use two weapons or do I have to select the exact weapon type? What about rings? Armors?   2. What, exactly, does it do? Does it produce a single item with +1 more than the strongest item? What happens if I give one (or more) cursed item to reforge?   3. Does the reforging has a chance to destroy enchantments, like the Scroll of Upgrade works?

How can I earn the level 70 Kerrigan Power achievement if I wasn't awarded it?

Like Blem indicates in his comment when Kerrigan reached level 70 I did not get Kerrigan Power achievement.

Is there a reason the achievement wouldn't have been earned even though Kerrigan has reached level to 70?


Where is the Warehouse Block?

Okay. I know I'm supposed to go see the commander or something on the commons deck as soon as possible, but on my way there I met this interesting fellow in the canteen who told me his name was _Jack Quicksilver_. Jack turned out to be really nice, and even offered me a job! It's only package delivery, but hey: money is money, right? He gave me the key to a footlocker somewhere in the barracks, and asked me if I could take the package inside to a man waiting outside the _Warehouse Block_ , where I would get paid. Simple, right? Well, I'm new in town, and one of the first things Jack asked me is if I knew where the "warehouse block" is. Wanting to impress my new BFF, I lied and said yes, but I actually have no idea where it is. Jack doesn't want to talk about the job any more until it's done, and now I can't even find him again; I'm sure he's working hard for the good of the community though, like everyone else! I really don't want to mess up so soon in this place. Anybody know where the Warehouse Block is?

Do all "arcade" games on ps3 have demos?

I have an xbox 360 and I like to try all types of arcade games since virtually all of them have demos (both "arcade" and "indie" games, which is how xbox names them) e.g. Braid, Bastion, Limbo, Trials, Castle Crashers, Trine, The Walking Dead, Escape Goat, Super Meat Boy, Fez, etc... Even games that are also available on steam, sometimes don't have demos on steam but they always do on xbox 360. So my question is, does the same happens in ps3? or only a bunch of those ps3's "arcade" games have demos? And by the way, how does ps3 name such games? In other words, if I get a ps3, could I expect to have a big indie/arcade catalog of games with free demos available ? or that is the case only on 360? And what about the new gen consoles, xbox one and ps4. Do they still have storefronts for arcade games with free demos for all of them?


What are the consequences for taking out General Oraka?

Toward the tail end of the _Aria: Blue Suns_ mission, you're given the choice of either hunting down some rare artifacts or ordering a hit on General Oraka. **Besides the Renegade shift, are there any other consequences for placing a kill order on Oraka?** That is, is the story or gameplay changed in some way further down the line in the game because of this decision? ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/hWXHI.jpg)

What's been enhanced in the enhanced Medi-gel?

The reward for completing the _Citadel: Medical Supplies_ is either increased Medi-gel capacity or enhanced Medi-gel depending on which doctor is stationed on Normandy. The increased capacity is self-explanatory. However, I do not understand what "enhancement" has been given to the enhanced Medi-gel. Is it simply that the amount of health restored through the use Medi-gel has been increased? **What exactly puts the "enhanced" in "enhanced Medi-gel"?**


Minecraft Bukkit Server - Map problem

I'm using Bukkit for a personal Minecraft Server.

How do I regenerate the map without this? **More info** :   CraftBukkit version: **1.6.2-R1.0-b2879**.   Plugins: **dynmap** , **MOTDColor**.      This is a multiplayer private server hosted on my machine (playing with friends) and I just created it


How do you maintain your city's funds?

I've been playing Simcity Deluxe for iPhone. I can't have more income than expenses. Ever. I build all three zone types with proper transport services. There is energy and water alright. I immediately build all other services: health, security, education, garbage disposal, etc. However, all of that is expensive. No matter how big my population and industry get, the expenses are always greater than the income - not even by drastically increasing the taxes or decreasing the funding for the services like education etc. (I can't do it anyway - they all get angry). How exactly am I supposed to maintain a city without losing money? Well, that, without putting my Sims into utter misery?


Can you do a "new game+" in Muramasa: The Demon Blade?

Started playing Muramasa recently and was wondering if once I've beaten the story I will be able to start the game as the girl or guy again and keep my level and weapons. In other words can I beat the game multiple times with the guy and girl and retain my XP and weapons? I'm playing on Wii


If I get to Kingsparrow Island with low chaos, can I go buckwild and kill everyone without ruining the ending?

I've gotten to Kingsparrow with low chaos. Has the game stopped caring about chaos at this point, or will going on a murder spree tip the scale and wreck my ending?


In Lands of Lore: Throne of Chaos, is there a secret way to cross Lake Dread early?

In Act I of _Lands of Lore: Throne of Chaos_ , the player must reach Opinwood by crossing Lake Dread in a rowboat. Normally, this crossing occurs only **after** the player has exited Draracle's Caves to discover that Gladstone Keep has fallen. However: At the time I first played this game (nearly 20 years ago!), I recall that my cousin, who also had a copy of the game, said _(paraphrasing; we were 10 years old)_ : "In Gladstone Keep, I visited Nathaniel the Herbalist:" ![Nathaniel the Herbalist, in Gladstone Keep](http://i.stack.imgur.com/lWUaw.png) " **There was a boat visible through that open window**. I clicked the boat, and traveled straight to Opinwood [skipping most of Act I]." Is this true? Or was it my cousin's fabrication? (On one hand, I wouldn't be surprised if this was a fib. On the other hand, that big bright window and ladder seem curiously "inviting".)


How do the new Missions work in CS GO?

![Screenshot of Mission Item](http://i.stack.imgur.com/4kJwK.png) With the latest Patch and Operation Breakthrough Valve has introduced Missions to the game. As far as I can see you get 2 objectives with 1 Mission. My question is, do the missions cycle over time? Or do you first have to complete all Missions before you get 2 new ones? How often will you be able to get a new Mission and do you need the operation badge to complete them?


Are multiple player profiles supported?

I'd like to be able to track my own progress in the game separately from my children. I've not yet purchased the game, but would like to know if it supports multiple player profiles for the sake of progress tracking (similar to how the PopCap games Plants Vs Zombies and Bejewelled 3 do).


New Twisted Treeline Base Walls - Skills or Spells that jump over them

**Intro:** With the new twisted treeline riot also introduced this new elevated base which has one set of stairs on each side and a big wide wall in the middle. The reason behind this design (in my oppinion) is to solve the problem of Turtling (i.e. Staying back and defending most of the time without risking going out and fight). In the old map it was really easy to turtle because the distance between the last turret and the base/shop was really small so practically if you had a good defensive team you could stay safe and healed all the time and protect your mid turret whereas attackers would eventually get worn down and have to back down or overcommit and die. With this new wall between your turret and your base you can't do that anymore. They also introduced that new even wider wall seperating your nexus from the outter jungle. The reason behind this is that people would easily flash in there (or spin or jump etc) and storm your unprotected nexus after they had destroyed your last turret. **My Question:** Which skills or spells can jump over each of those walls? I'm pretty sure that for the first one most of the classic jumping spells would do. But the second one is really big. So if you guys have tested it out put your results out there. :)


How do I stop drowning in quicksand?

I am playing Minecraft with the Oceancraft mod installed. Among other things, this adds quicksand, which if you step in you begin to sink and slowly suffocate. Once you have stepped in quicksand - is there any way to avoid your untimely demise? I've tried walking out of it but when I get to the last block I can't jump over it. I've also tried digging up the neighboring blocks and the offending quicksand itself but I still drown. Is there any way to avoid drowning in quicksand if you haven't managed to avoid it?


How to fix Error code: 221002 on Wii

I am trying to do a system transfer from my Wii to Wii U and I have to accept the User Agreements but I can't because I keep getting error code 221002. I've checked the Nintendo support website and it says the code doesn't exist. How can I fix this?


What are the differences between the difficulty levels in Tomb Raider?

I would like to know:   * Do the quantity of enemies increase in the harder difficulties?    * Does the salvage or XP received change?    * Are there any enemy AI behavior changes? Do they become "smarter"?   * Are stealth attempts harder? Are you more easily detected?   * Any other difficulty changes?


Does Fallout: New Vegas support character slots?

I know it's a pretty broad question, but does anybody know if you can have "character slots" for Fallout: New Vegas? What I'm looking for is a system similar to how Dark Souls has different slots where you can make different "themed" characters. I am aware of different save editors, but I'm looking for something where I can choose different characters in game more easily.

MW3 downloading 2 times on steam

MW3 is downloading 2 times on steam.

Craft second tier of Universal Cable in Minecraft Mekanism

I found the recipe for only basic cable (tier1). How other cables are crafted? http://wiki.aidancbrady.com/wiki/Universal_Cable


Pokemon attack powers

If I had an electric Pokemon knowing Thunderbolt (pwr: 90) and Ancient Power (pwr:60) and was facing against any pokemon except where electric does x0 damage, would Thunderbolt "always" be the better move unless I can get x4 damage with the rock move? (Ancient Power is a Special rock type move) My logic is: Thunderbolt gives STAB so the effective power is 180, so even if I was fighting a Pokemon who is weak against rock, that would only bring the power to 120 where as the Thunderbolt would still be 180. Are my calculations correct? Thus making it so Thunderbolt is the preferred move at all times unless facing ground types or where rock can do x4 damage?


How can you tell which ammo an enemy ship will use?

In Sid Meier's Pirates! I was fighting a Ship-of-the-Line with a Large Frigate. Both ships were fully modified. The fight was going well both of us started with a round shot broadside and then I went in with grapeshot and he with chain shot. However I hit my arrow key and missed the chance to crumble him. He opened up with a 43 gun round shot broadside. I blew-up and sank. Then I blew-up in a rage. What are the circumstances that an enemy ship will use round shot, chain shot and grapeshot? Is it just random or can you guess from your position how they will hit you?


What determines when Take the Halls techs are unlocked?

This tech tree is shown when selecting the top left corner of the action menu on a captured Hall. The yellow arrows showing the future path of tech tree unlocks will adjust based on votes placed. My question is what causes these incremental unlocks to occur? Is it purely time-based or does somebody have to buy a scroll to unlock something?


How do I activate a scroll?

Is it a button? Do I have to be a specific class? I know how to put it in my inventory or hold it out in front of me (`c`) and even how to store it in a Hall or Crate but not how to actually activate the thing. For example, a scroll for a Drill in Take the Halls can be bought from the old man's store with some gold.


How do I earn medals to award my squaddies?

Enemy Within introduces the concept of medals -- minor, customizable bonuses that you can bestow upon worthy soldiers from the barracks. However, such medals are limited quantity - how do you earn more? I _believe_ that you earn one International Service Medal for every council mission undertaken, but I have no idea about how to earn the "Defender's Medal" that I've already run into. (Perhaps something to do with the rookies dying? I expect a lot of rookies to die. C'est la XCom)


When does the EXALT faction appear in XCOM: Enemy Within? Is it random or after a specific "story point," research milestone, or council mission?


How can I tell whether my friend has been cheating?

My friend claims he used to play Terraria in his previous so-call 'hardmode' account, but it seems as if he's mastered the game having very much the best of all items. Being very hard to believe as I got him the game however he claims it to be a file of his old player from his friends computer. That is **still** believable, but just look at the image below: ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/FGj35.png) If you do notice his buff icon has an ironskin potion and swiftness potion stacking up to 9999 hours, could anyone **confirm** , if this is normal?


What is the chance that a zombie will drop armour in Minecraft?

What are the ratios for the drops of armour in Minecraft? I don't want the wiki's answer because I have tried and the ratio is usually incorrect. I would like to know from someone who has actually done a test on this.


Does it matter if an enemy is attacking me from behind?

The first time I saw multiple enemies and one got behind me, a party member yelled "They're flanking us!", so now when I see multiple enemies I usually try to back up until I have my back against a wall so none can get behind me. Does this even matter, though? Do enemies get bonuses for attacking from the side or the rear, or is it all just the same as if they're in front of you?


Does stumbling around in the dark hurt me?

I usually don't bother casting spells like Darkvision or Torchlight when running around at night because they seem like a waste of mana. I can still see well enough in the darkness to navigate. Does darkness matter for anything beyond the ability to navigate an area, though? Does it affect anything like hit or evade chance?


Wulfgar won't teach me Unrelenting Force's final word after Arngeir accepts horn of Jurgen

I am seeing this bug in Skyrim where Wulfgar doesn't respond though you found his horn. Various attempts and work-arounds I've tried:   * **Gate-related**     * Walked or sprinted through the gate and closed it      * Replayed and closed the gate immediately after learning Whirlwind   * **System-related**     * Current on all patches (as of March 2, 2012)     * Deleted character and related Skyrim files in case any files were corrupt     * Reloaded multiple times before and after returning the horn   * **Additional** (frustration-driven) attempts      * Attacked the Greybeards, left the area, and snuck until forgotten     * Completed side quests before returning     * Slept and tried multiple times (16 or so) Despite what I try, replaying up to the same spot gives me the same bug. **Does anyone know of a workaround aside from the closing the gate or reloading an earlier manual or autosave game?** > I've returned the horn to Arngeir, but he doesn't stand in the circle with > the other Greybeards. I've noticed from videos where this is working that he > _is_ part of the circle. I emailed Bethesda support, if you have the same issue consider emailing them as well.

What are the effects of upgrading the Mayor's Mansion?

I have plopped the Mayor's Mansion, and for every 4 or 5 hours of in-game time that I maintain an approval rating of 75% or higher, I am prompted to upgrade it. Since it is free to do so, I oblige. However, what is the benefit of this? Does it increase land value even further each time I click? All that seems to be happening is a firework show.

Easy way to clean a DualShock 3?

My 8-year-old niece played on my PS3 at Christmas, and ever since the X button on the DualShock 3 controller has been very sticky and has made most games unplayable with that controller. A Google search turned up lots of hits for instructions on taking it apart to clean it, but it sounds like a difficult and time-consuming job. Are there any easier ways to remove the stickiness?


What are the exact mechanics for Bane's nightmare skill?

Bane's nightmare skill can work on both allies and enemies, and is transferred when the sleeping target is attacked, but what are the conditions for doing so? Does the attack have to be a targeted attack, or can any aoe effect cause the transfer (such as ancient apparition's ult)? Also, is it possible to deny allies with this spell, will they take damage while sleeping?


I keep hearing this "thwap" noise that I think is a spawner. How can I best locate it?

[Clarification after some of the answers given below: Specifically, the sound is a "thwap" "thwap" type of sound, repeated at irregular intervals. I have found 5 different mob spawners in my world, and have checked for the sound on peaceful and non-peaceful modes. The only places near my spawners and areas that I have completely cleared out that I hear the "spawner noise" is in a radius around the spawner. I hadn't done the experiment to determine range, figuring this was common knowledge. The initial answers below, lead me to believe it is not, or that I have a unique install.] I have a long (1Km) minecart track, and I'm astonished at how many mob spawners I hear as I move along it. I'd like to find them, but have been unsuccessful in my searches. I suppose I could carve out a 17x17x17 region around my location. Seems excessive. Looking for something better. Questions: On the wiki, I have found no indication as to the range at which a spanwer makes noise. Is it 17m Euclidean? (That is the activation range.) Does the noise change as a function of range? An obvious approach to finding them, once the range is known, would be to move around to several different places that are "on the edge" of the "noise envelope" and then find the center (using F3 and the coordinates therein). Is there a better approach? [Note: I have tried to use fraps and other tools to record these sounds. There appears to be issues with some installs of Windoze XP and use of these tools to record sounds. Can't figure out how to record sound. Any help appreciated.]


Unable to buy Shrike

I today played several matches as a Juggernaut and had over 15000 credits, but I still wasn't able to buy Shrike. According to Wiki, it costs 4500 credits, so I had more than enough. It allowed me to buy Grav Cycle and Beowulf, but not Shrike. Other players on the same server were able to buy that vehicle, so it wasn't disabled by the server. Why couldn't I buy the Shrike? Is there a limit of number of Shrikes that can be in a game at the same time?


How do I find Queen Endregas?

I'm having problems with luring out the Queen Endregas to complete the Endrega Contract mission. I understand from reading up on the lore that Endrega queens only appear when I find their cocoons **and set fire to them**. However, when I use the spell that seems to set things on fire, _Igni_ , on the cocoons, nothing happens. How do I light the cocoons on fire?

Can I be competitive in Planetside 2 without leveling?

I tried Planetside 2 this week-end and liked it. Due to recent life changes (growing up and getting a job and such) I don't have as much time for gaming as I would like. The question is if I should still try to learn Planetside 2. It seems to be quite complicated and I performed decidedly mediocre in my first few hours but I'm not sure if that is player-skill or upgrades.

I am confused so any help would be great.

Minecraft Port Fowarding Issues and Errors

I have been looking across the internet for an answer to this problem but, alas, there is none. So I've come here. I am currently trying to make a new Minecraft server on my laptop. My router is hooked wirelessly to my computer upstairs. I have followed the directions that have been said by many websites.   1. I downloaded the Minecraft_Server .exe file from the website.   2. I opened it and created a new world. I also typed in localhost and played around for a while.   3. I went to my MediaLink properties. I went into the port fowards and entered in 25565 for the begin AND end port. I typed in my IPv4 address, chose TCP and UDP, and enabled them. I hit apply. Now for my problem. I went to my brother's computer and tried typing down the IPv4 address and it gave me the connection refused error. I tried typing in the default gateway, the external IP address, nothing. I was getting pretty upset. So my question is, what am I doing wrong? I really want to fix this solution. I have included some pictures to help. Thanks in advance! * * * My port forwarding on MediaLink properties. ![MediaLink properties](http://i.stack.imgur.com/wvGND.jpg) My ipconfig information in the command prompt ![ipconfig information](http://i.stack.imgur.com/DI9QO.jpg) The PFPortChecker tool ![PFPortChecker](http://i.stack.imgur.com/DcYaE.jpg)


What do we know about the keyblade war?

I love KH, but as has been pointed out before, it adds a lot of lore to it. The video linked in the article seemed to know more about the Keyblade War than I thought was known. The only thing I know about it at this point is that it was a war between Keyblade wielders and was sort of a Light-vs-Dark-but-no- one-wins kind of thing. So, this leads me to, what do we _officially_ know about the Keyblade War? What was it about, who started it, the whole shebang.


How long do sensor grenades last?

After a while, sensor grenades seem to stop working, and I have to throw another. How long is this? It's hard for me to notice sometimes, especially in hectic situations, when it shuts off though since I might have just killed everyone there. It would be helpful if I could throw one preemptively to prevent this, but I'm not sure how long it is before they burn out.

Does the Misc Item drop rate conflict with the Hat drop rate?

I read the wiki, and it stated that for premium players, the drop rate for hats is between 1-6 months, and after a certain period of time, it resets. Then I read another article for Misc. item drops, and was wondering the drop rate for Misc items were, and whether or not it conflicted with Hat drops (ie, you receive a hat for 1-6 month period, can you get a misc drop? or is it classified as a "hat") Does the Misc Item's drop time conflict with the Hat's drop time?


Is there a detailed manual for Command & Conquer Red Alert for iPhone?

Since the in-game guide is very basic and does not answer these questions, I was hoping there was an on-line manual somewhere that described what is going on in more detail, either from EA or someone else. Where can I find a real manual for _Command & Conquer Red Alert_ for iPhone?


How to find unlit points or fence leak points where mobs come from?

I've surrounded a village with a 2-high fence and lit it up with torches, and all was hunky-dory until I heard a zombie trying to tear a door down. It was just one and I dealt with him quickly, but there was a creeper somewhere in the area of the village too. I placed more torches, made the fence taller near "steps" where one could reach the top with a long jump, and... there was the zombie again the next night. So, either I must have missed something (I fenced off quite a bit of area - I plan to make the village grow quite a bit) or there's some obscure spawning rule I don't know about. How to solve this?


What is better for Stalkers: 1 Armor + 1 Shield or 2 Armor?

How can I compensate for a formicids permanent stasis effect?

I've been playing DCSS trunk lately, and have been trying formicids out. Since they have a clear predilection for armor and not especially great spellcasting attributes, as well as the complete inability to teleport, blink, haste, or berserk, what are my best options for panic buttons? The usual religious melee user panics of Trog's berserk and Oka's finesse are not options.

Do units receive a defensive bonus when you select "Do nothing" or hit space?

Units get a defensive bonus when you put them in "Fortify" or "Alert". But sometimes I just want to pass them over for a single turn. If I select "Do nothing" (or hit space, which is the same thing) do they still receive the defensive bonus?


How can I keep my idiot squadmates alive?

So I tried playing Insanity mode, and I found enemies seem to be more prone to throwing grenades. I also found my squadmates are _completely_ happy to sit on grenades until they explode. Generally, my squad members are perfectly happy to let enemies kill them. Are there some skills or weapons I can give them that will help my Squadmates not...die? Do their tactics change, so I could give them a Sniper Rifle and they'll act more defensively? Are some Squadmates more defensive? Is ordering them to move by cover effective?


When do I tech?

I play Zerg in the HotS beta mainly, and every time I die it's because of plain stupid reasons, I have great economy, 3+ more bases then my opponent, good saturation, etc. I usually like to keep denying their bases, I'm supposed to try to think about denying the third at least. My question is _when_ am I supposed to tech? When do I get other units, such as Ultras or Infestors? Question: Can someone give me a chart for tech timings? ty :)


Is there anything particularly good about legendary items in Diablo 3?

I've almost got 2 lvl 60 chars and have only just found my first legendary item, and well, I wasn't that impressed. I thought I may have just been extremely unlucky in my find and so I took a look at the Auction House to compare legendaries to decent rares. To be honest, the only differences I saw was price, which was massive. Other than being able to boast about an extremely rare find, are there any instances where legendary items are considerably more powerful than a good rare, or are they just for show? I haven't seen a legendary item yet that is worthwhile to me.


How does damage versus Zyra's Plants work?

Zyra's plant summons all have 6 hitpoints, yet they often survive multiple hits from champions. I assume this means they are similar to Wards (3 hp, 1 hp per attack), but the plants seem able to take more than 1 hp of damage at a time, so it's not an identical mechanic. What determines how much damage Zyra's plants take?


What will pro jobs entail?

It looks like some of the heists have a "pro" version. Pro jobs are glowing red on the crime.net's map and seem to feature better rewards. ![Red glowing pro job on the crime.net map](http://i.stack.imgur.com/b9emL.jpg) So far I only tried the pro version of Bank in which you have to steal gold instead of dollars. Gold being heavier, your speed is quite reduced while carrying the bags, making the mission more difficult. Regarding the gameplay itself, is it the only difference with the "regular" mission ? What are the differences in the other "pro" missions ? Are there any prerequisite to get access to these pro jobs ?


Experience gain for mastering items with gold in Infinity Blade 2

Do passengers come at bus stops according to the schedule I created?

I have created long bus line (I know it's wrong, but only for testing purpose) where one bus drive only two times daily, and before I ran the line, I configured bus schedule according this idea. After some time when I looked at the bus stops, I noticed that people are waiting there even if the next bus will come in next two or more hours, so they started to be unhappy. Am I missing something or in this game people come to bus stop with hope, instead of checking schedule?

When you play poker in Red Dead Redemption, is the "look around" option actually useful?

In Red Dead Redemption, during the poker game, you can look around at other people's faces. I assume there's a use of this option, but I wasn't able to get any hint when it may be. Does it actually have a purpose, or is it just for game immersion ?


How does Android gaming compare to iOS?

I currently have an iPhone, and I feel like it's a solid mobile gaming platform. Besides the indie time-waster games (solitaire, doodle jump), there are polished, major-development-house games like Monopoly, retro ports like Final Fantasy 1 and 2, and serious high-end games like Chaos Rings, Sim City. I like the idea of open platforms like Android, but I'm curious how the gaming compares. Specifically:   * How does the quality of the top tier games compare? The average, indie games?   * How does the variety of games and genres compare?   * Are games priced similarly, overall?   * Are there any exclusive Android games that showcase graphics/gameplay/some other exceptional quality that isn't matched on iPhone?


Scoreboard and testfor issues using commandblocks

My problem is that I'm building on a map in Minecraft, where a player (myself for example) will press a button and his status changes into "The Player is ready for the game to begin". So, press button -> `/scoreboard players set @p IsReady 1` Now I want to test if the player is ready, so Redstone clock -> `/testfor Untertreiberman[score_IsReady=1]` The commandblock tells me that it can't find the player, but I'm there with a status of "IsReady 1".

(Super) Street Fighter IV "Option Select" and "Hit Confirm"

What do the two terms "option select" and "hit confirm" mean in the context of Street Fighter IV? Do they carry on to other fighting games?


Is it possible to play Outpost on a modern OS?

I have fond memories of playing Outpost in the windows 95 era, and I pulled out the CD recently and discovered that it will not install on XP and above. I believe the problem is that it utilized DOS running underneath windows 9X. It won't install on a DOS emulator, however, because it uses the windows installer. Is there an updated version of this game anywhere, or a way to emulate the environment it needs to install and run? Barring that, can anyone suggest any newer games with similar gameplay? E.g. semi-realistic space colonization simulation (without combat).


At what age will a person pass on in Virtual Families 2?

I was re-entering my game because I was playing another app, but when it loaded a notification popped up saying that my Mother had turned 45 and, sure enough, her hair had turned gray. The mother is one year older than the father so I fear that they will both pass on soon leaving the children by themselves. Basically my question is: At what age do your people go to the grave? Both of the parents are perfectly healthy ( so are the kids ) so I am assuming they will go of old age, so I want to know the regular death age instead of an early death age. If they end up passing on by tommorow ( in real life ) can my 17 year old daughter watch over the kids, or will it turn out bad because she doesn't have a job yet? Thanks for reading and/or responding.


Can you mine through the world?

How do I adjust for overproduction from Industry?

Every low density industrial buildings product 9 freight every 2hours 24minutes. And medium density industrial buildings product 9 freight every 1hour 12minutes. And high density industrial buildings product 9 freight every 36minutes. It's going faster. Low and medium buildings are fine if the traffic is fluent. They don't claim about shipping problem. But high density buildings are keep claiming for shipping freights. Because their production speed is faster than their shipping speed. I've build trade depots right next to them, but still have the problem. Should I just destroy them out? What can I do?


NPCs claiming wrong house

In Terraria, the NPCs will sometimes claim my house, when their house is already claimed by them. I have them in a room that they can't escape from, but meets the requirements. Then when I try to assign them that house again, it just says that "This housing is suitable." and won't assign it. Any way to make them stop? (This only seems to happen when I use the magic mirror.)

In SR2, what causes some homies' phones to give a busy signal when called (not able to be a follower)?

I've noticed that in SR2, some homies can not be called to be a follower on certain instances (their phones will give out a busy signal). In some cases this could be shortly after they were dismissed, or after the player character or the homie get smoked (died). This is like in SR3, and unlike in SR4, where homies can be asked to follow you almost anytime and anywhere, even when you are on certain missions and even shortly after they were just dismissed. I know that homies can't be called as a follower most of the time when you currently have a mission active. But even if I don't have any mission active, some homies' phones still give out a busy signal when called. I also know that there's a cooldown period before you can call a homie again to be a follower after they have been dismissed. In instances where I don't have a mission active, **what causes the homies' phones to give a busy signal when called? And how does this work?**   * How long is the cooldown period before you can call a homie again to be a follower after they have been called previously (after being dismissed or after the homie / player character gets smoked)?    * Are there locations where you can't call a homie to be a follower?    * Are there certain events (not necessarily active missions) where homies won't be able to be a follower?

Messed up view in CandyBox 2

I started playing Candybox 2 and I was really getting into it, it was hard to make things out but I went along with it, then I saw these pictures where the lines where perfectly matched and easy to see detail and I think my view is messed up some how... What others seem to see: ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/8VdWS.jpg) What I see: ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/c8sWV.png) I really wanna play this game, but it is far too hard to see anything...


Why did the Fallen Star wake the undead?

The Fallen Star in Act I is not in and of itself demonic, so why did it crashing into the Tristram Cathedral cause minions of hell to burst forth? Was it intentionally directed to impact there? If it simply broke some seals containing all this badness, the odds for it to hit just so seem astronomically small; did some demonic influence guide it like a JDAM from Heaven (but controlled by Hell)? (I'm part-way through Act II; so I know what the star's made of; is more revealed about the impact going forward?)


Do all monsters of a given level reward the same XP?

At the moment there is no way to conclusively determine a monster's level other than the XP rewarded from killing it, relative to your player's level according to How do I determine the level and XP reward of mobs in Diablo III?. However, if you do determine a monster's level and kill it, does it reward the same XP as any other monster the same level? Is the amount of XP affected by type, e.g. ghoul vs carrion bat vs grotesque? Is the amount of XP affected by monster status, e.g. normal monster vs champion vs unique/miniboss vs boss?
