Do abilities stick around after a champion's death?

So there are a couple different categories of abilities that I'm wondering about. They may all act the same, but I think I've noticed them behave differently in game. DoT effects? I assume Teemo's poison will continue to tick even if Teemo dies. Anivia's Wall? Does it last the entire duration regardless of Anivia being alive or not? Or does it disappear on death? What about Demacian Standard cast right before death by J4? Does that continue to apply the team buff for the duration or is it gone when he dies? Gragas' Barrels and Lux's Lucent Singularity? I've seen these disappear at death and hang around after the caster's death. My theory is that they will stick around if they have stopped moving by the time the caster has died.


Is there any consequence to using "Try Again" after failing during court?

Every game in the Ace Attorney series has featured a "strikes" or "life bar" system during courtroom phases, where you receive an instant Game Over if you present incorrect evidence or make mistakes too many times. In previous games in the series, you'd have to restart from your last save after earning a Game Over in this way, but in Dual Destinies, the Game Over screen is immediately followed by a "Try Again" option, which returns you to the exact spot you were just at, and refills your life bar to maximum. Being that it seems like this sort of negates the life bar's reason for existing in the first place, is there any consequence at all to selecting Try Again? Does it affect anything differently later on in the case/game, or does it make no difference?


Can I toggle the Helm On/Off in Elder Scrolls Online?

Do large Minecraft servers run on multiple different machines?

Having played on a number of servers, there are often lingering references to multiple different "servers", or a "server" being down, so you can't play That Minigame You Like today. **Does this mean a large server actually runs on multiple different machines, or is this just some other effect at work?** As far as I can tell, the Minecraft protocol doesn't seem to support a federated or handoff system, but I could be wrong. There are servers with incredibly large population numbers, numbering in the thousands, and this could explain how it scales.


How do I prevent friendly fire *from* allies?

In the question, "Would I take friendly fire damage if I had a mage as companion?", we learn that followers can deal friendly fire damage _to_ the player character. So, **how do I prevent followers, conjured/reanimated creatures and other allies from dealing friendly fire damage _to_ the player character, or improve their AI to avoid them hitting the player character?** I'm playing on the PC, so console commands and mod solutions are welcome. Note: I'm talking about preventing friendly fire damage _from_ allies _to_ the player character, not the other way around. I am already aware of console commands and in-game abilities that will prevent friendly fire damage _from_ the player character _to_ some allies.


Is the yellow claptrap in arid badlands an easter egg or something else?

Restoration trainer dead at the college of winterhold. Where can I now buy higher level spells?

So the restoration trainer at the college of winterhold, Colette Marence, is gone. I don't think I killed her myself, but she's gone, and I have been trying to wait for her. I've already searched the college, and there is one bed in the hall of countenance that does't have the status "Owned". Assuming that the character is dead, and she apparently is the only one that teaches higher level restoration spells, where can I get them then?

How to beat 5 supports in League of Legends Blind pick

I recently played against Taric, Sona, Janna, Soraka, and Lulu in a blind pick. They all had Heal. We got destroyed. We were: Warwick, Fiora, Swain, Nautilus, and Caitlyn. I jungled Warwick. Fiora went top (probably the reason we lost), Swain mid, and Nautilus and Caitlyn bot. It was nuts. They had destroyed 6 towers and gotten Baron by level 14. What would have been the best strategy for beating this team?


Gaining Hjerim with a peace treaty

Is it possible to gain Hjerim if you negotiate a peace treaty in the "Season Unending" quest without taking sides? The wiki says that in order to gain Hjerim, you must complete certain quests for either side of the civil war (either the Fort Neugrad mission or the Defeat the Stormcloaks mission). However, if those quests never occur, can you still become Thane of Windhelm and gain Hjerim?


Can Ezreal's Q trigger multiple times with Iceborn Gauntlet?

In Empire: Total War, when a building can fit 1000+ soldiers, why can only one 120-soldier unit enter?

In Empire: Total War, sometimes garrisonable buildings can supposedly fit thousands of soldiers inside - you can see this by hovering your mouse over them and looking at their information - but you can usually only tell one unit to actually enter the building. Other units might initially march to the building, but once the first unit's inside, other units will just stop right outside the door. There are also cases when this is not so. I remember, on at least one or two occasions, moving two separate units into the same building at the same time. Why is it then that, much of the time, only one unit will enter a building, regardless of how many men can supposedly fit into it? Is there some sort of special way you have to click on the thing to get subsequent units to go in or something? Is this just an outright bug? Thanks.

How to move items in a furnace only when there is space?

I have a electric furnace (and a steam dynamo and a puverizer) in my pipe system, to automatically transform or use items. At the beginning I lost many items because the furnace was full and they dropt out of the pipe.

No more mulligan?

In Magic 2013, you have the option before a duel to mulligan, or to ditch your hand and draw a new set of 7 cards, and then 1 less card for each mulligan thereafter. However, after playing with the free version of Magic 2014 for iOS, I have yet to encounter this option. I do seem to notice that my draw always seems to have at least 2 lands and no more than 4, but that just might be due to the small sample count. Is mulligan gone for 2014? Or does this functionality get "unlocked" when I purchase the complete version?


Is it possible to reset sealed deck slots?

In Magic 2014, you are given two slots for sealed deck play. Each slot corresponds to the random card selection you get when you first use the slot, and there doesn't seem to be a way to delete or free up this slot so you can generate another random set of cards. Is it possible, through out-of-game means, to reset your sealed deck slots? Like deleting and redownloading the game, deleting the saved game somehow if it exists, etc.

Little Big Planet levels site

I'm looking for a website that contains up-to-date information on the best user-created Little Big Planet levels so far (for both 1 and 2). A Google search turned up a bunch of top 10 lists from 2008, and some user-created sites that were clearly just a random smattering and which didn't have many of the best levels I already know about. Best can be defined by the site either based on the in-game stats, but or by some person with a good editorial sense for what makes a level good (like the top 10 lists from 2008). I actually prefer the latter, since the former is fairly easy to find in-game. Does anyone know of such a site?


How does telepathy work?

One particular dungeon level was swarming with floating eyes. Now, I don't like being watched, so I felt there was only one recourse. A few bits of flying magic later, I ate a floating eye corpse. Now, I'm told this conveys telepathy, which is supported by the "You feel a strange mental acuity" message I got. Now I wonder. I got intrinsic telepathy, which I can find nothing about online. What does it do?

How do I end an Open Borders agreement in Civ 5?

I'd like my neighbor to stop moving units through my territory, but I can't seem to find an option to cancel our Open Borders agreement. In the deal history screen, I can see an Open Borders agreement from well over 30 turns ago that doesn't even show up under Active Deals. The trade screen just says that we already have an Open Borders agreement. Am I missing something, or is there no way for me to cancel this agreement?

What is depositing gil to a retainer for?

In Realm Reborn they keep mentioning that you can safely entrust your gil to your retainer. What is that supposed to be for? You don't lose gil for dying, I think. I know that retainers can have their own gil balance, because you need to retrieve the gil you got from selling items - so withdrawing is ok. But why deposit?

What's the solution to the Edison / Ford "139" code in Assassin's Creed 2?

One of the passwords in Assassin's Creed 2 deals with Thomas Edison and J.P. Morgan trying to discredit Nikola Tesla in order to prevent alternating current from freeing the people, or something like that. I'm trying to unlock his secret code. The code is 139 and according to the hint button, the symbols follow a base 3 pattern - "One dot, two dots, one line, one line and one dot, and so on", and the missing symbol has to fit that pattern. When I align "One dot" with the number 1, the solution to 139 seems to be:               One dot     One Line     Three Lines      but when I enter that solution, I get a "Wrong code" indication. When I align one dot with zero, the solution to 139 comes up as:               Two dots     One line and one dot     Three lines and one dot      And that code doesn't work either. Usually there's a clue in the photos provided to explain how to align the cipher wheel, but I can't seem to find that either. There's a symbol in the "Dearborn Independent" that contains two lines and two dots...does that have anything to do with it? **What is the solution to the Edison / Ford 139 cipher, and what clue am I supposed to use to figure the solution out?**


When to start or form a teamfight group?

In league of legends you always hit a point where just laning is not profitable enough anymore or it's to dangerous. So many players (obviously) team up and attack with multiple players in a single lane. So team-fights are started. My question would be; is there any sort of criteria for players to make the (game-changing) decision to team up and focus lane or ganks?

What are the differences between the normal, hard and 'True West' difficulty modes?

I initially played the game in normal difficulty. After the first level, the game recommended that I play in 'hard' difficulty, instead. I would like to know how difficulty changes between the difficulty levels. Specifically:   * Do enemy numbers increase, or will their numbers stay the same?    * Or do enemies just have more hit points or deal more damage? Know by how much they are increased?      * Any enemy AI behavior differences? Do they become 'smarter'?    * Any other differences between the difficulty levels?    * Any difficulty differences when you're playing a New Game Plus (separate from the difficulty level you chose to play the New Game+ in)? In 'True West' mode, most of the HUD gets removed. Aside from that, are there other difficulty differences between hard and 'True West' difficulty?


Best weapon combo for a rogue (Levelling heirlooms)

Is there a certain combo of weapons that are best for Rogues? I was thinking 2 daggers but am not sure if that's the best way to go.


How to determine the giver Steam profile / id on a gifted item?

The Gift Wrap is a Team Fortress 2 item that can be used on another item. When unwrapped, it adds a "Gift from: " description to the wrapped item. However, Steam names are not unique, whereas ID's are. Is there any way to find the original gift giver? Possible motivations include:   * verifying authenticity, as gift wraps are often used to "autograph" / sign items   * idle curiosity, as although items can change hands many times, the gift description is permanent unless overwritten by another gift wrap.


How big is the area/radius that prevents neutral creep spawns?

It is a known fact that putting wards inside the neutral spawn camps prevents them from spawning but recently, I see our neutrals camps not spawning any creeps. I checked the replay and saw that the opposing team put the ward behind the neutral camp instead of the usual in-front. This is new to me so now I ask how big is the radius(or area) that the game checks? I always thought is was a triangular area in front of the neutral camp. EDIT: If the vision of the neutrals camps prevents them from spawning, then how come this ward does not prevent them from respawning? ![neutral camp respawned](http://i.stack.imgur.com/MYeQB.jpg)

How can I input @ to send mails, when my keyboard layout requires pressing Alt?

If I want to send a mail to someone, I have to enter the character's name like this: `char_name@player_account` or the player's account name like this: `@player_account` However, whenever I try to enter the `@` char, the mail interface disappears as a result of pressing the **Alt** key on my keyboard. In my case, the `@` char requires pressing **Ctrl + Alt + 2** simultaneously (alternatively **AltGr + 2** ). How can I work around that issue, preferrably without copy-paste and without changing my keyboard layout.

How do I recover from a cannon rush as Protoss?

Yesterday I was cannon rushed as protoss. I know the best way to counter it is to just not let his probe build the first pylon, but somehow I missed it and when I realized what was happening it was already too late (he had like 4 cannons already built just outside my vision). Assuming this starting point, what should I have done? I got pissed so I gg'ed and played another game, but first I tried building a few immortals to try to destroy the cannons, zealots wouldn't cut it -- and all I did was waste resources. Should I just have abandoned my main base and try to attack his base with a few zealots? I assume he would've had cannons there too.   Should I have re-built my base someplace else? How do you recover from this situation?

Why is Hitman: Absolution causing a BSOD?

I have been playing _Hitman: Absolution_ for quite some time now, and have begun coming across a problem. After playing for at least half an hour, I get the blue screen of death with the error `IRQL_NOT_LESS_THAN_OR_EQUAL`. It does not mention any specific files. I use a _Vision Computer_ with _Windows 8.1_ , on an _Intel i7_ with a _Geforce GTX 660M GPU_ and 2GB graphics memory. Nothing is overclocked. My mouse is a Razer naga 2014 (Model no.: `RZ01-0104`).

How can I play an XBox 360 game if the disk is unreadable?

I recently bought FIFA 14 and somehow I managed to knock my Xbox over and create a massive burn ring on the disk. The game reads and works right up to the title screen, then it says 'Disk Is Unreadable' like any other scratched or burnt disk. Now I know of all the DIY tricks to try and fix this, but obviously finding someone with the game, installing the game, and then using my disk as a 'key' is less risky and should still work, right? Only problem is I don't know anybody with FIFA 14 on Xbox 360, and in South Africa you can't rent Xbox games because DVD rental places don't really exist anymore. Since I bought the game, 100% original and all, is there a way to download a FIFA 14 image and install it onto my Xbox, the same way you would with a friends disk or doesn't it work like that? Is there another way that I don't know about?

Is it possible to get data off of a dead PS3?

Is it possible to get the data off of the hard drive of a PlayStation 3 that has crashed? I have already voided the warranty so I am not worried about that and I have access to quite a few tools. I have a new PlayStation and a few saves that were not backed up. I am not worried about them but if it is possible I would love to get it moved over. The old PlayStation will not turn on at all and I think I am going to have to pull the drive. My main concern is if I am able to transfer the files without running into any issues. I have heard that some of the stuff is specific to each PlayStation, is that true?

Transferring downloaded games to other PS3

I need some enlightenment here. I owned my PS3 like 2 years ago, but it was broken, I can't turn it on. So I bought a 2nd hand PS3 from a different person. My old PS3 has all the saved data and there is one downloaded game in it. I have searched on the Net on how to transfer saved games and all, but all requires the other PS3 to be still functional and mine doesn't work anymore. I heard placing the hard disk drive on the new PS3 won't work either since they are encrypted and if I want to use it, I have to format it? I need clarification here and I'd love to know if there are any other ways to transfer the files without the risk of losing the datas in the process? Thanks in advance.

I have wanted to invite my brother to my Single Player world because he hasn't been able to find much diamond. I can find 30 in an hour so I wanted to give him some diamond, build a house for him and have him help me in my mine, but I don't know if I can. I don't want to play on a multiplayer server because it's very time consuming to make one and I don't want to get griefed on a public one. How can we play together?

What are the 'powerful profession mechanics' in light armor?

In Guild Wars 2, you have three types of armor: Light, Medium and Heavy. Scholars wear light armor, Adventurers wear medium armor, Soldiers wear heavy armor. I get that the heavy armor provides more armor than the lighter versions. Light armor has, and I quote the wiki from Guild Wars 2: > the least innate protection of all armor classes, a tradeoff for other > powerful profession mechanics. What are these 'powerful profession mechanics'?


The Wizard's Companion gives some information on the various signs, stating that certain signs are stronger with certain elements and that have an advantage over other signs. However, it doesn't go into detail how this advantage applies. Do attacks of a certain element just receive a damage boost? Do sun sign familiars receive less damage from Moon familiars? So on and so forth. What impact does a familiar's sign have on its performance in combat?

Enchant Weapon Property: Favor Attack Speed or % Damage?

So I got this new weapon: ![Cropped screenshot of Balefire Caster tooltip](http://i.stack.imgur.com/0XMtm.png) However, it lacks a socket, so I need to replace a primary attribute with a socket. My question is which primary property should I replace? It comes down to increased attack speed or an additional percentage of damage. On a more general note, on a weapon, sould I go for attack speed or %damage ?


Is there any point in crafting the same tool multiple times?

After beating the main game, I have unlocked _School mode_.   The purpose of _School mode_ is to... > build backups for Monokuma. I can choose to craft tools, which " _double the number of materials collected_ ". So far so good, but I was wondering if the tools' effects stack.   If I craft 2 Microscopes, for instance, will the number of science materials collected quadruple?


A fantomatic treasure goblin is following me

I played my Daemon hunter yesterday (level 38), and since Act IV (High Heavens), a fantomatic treasure goblin is following me everywhere like a companion. I have absolutely no idea from where he comes from. Here are some screenshots: **In Act IV** ![In the act IV](http://i.stack.imgur.com/9b1tD.jpg) **In Act I** (even after killing Diablo and restarting a game he's still here) ![In the act I](http://i.stack.imgur.com/WHnRm.jpg) Maybe it's one of my skills?


Crop growing speeds

Looking at this calculator, it doesn't differentiate between the different crop types. I read somewhere that the different crops grow at different speeds, but I can't find any definitive information on the relative crop growing speeds. All I've found are that beans are the fastest-growing of the crops, followed by wheat. Does anyone know how fast the individual crops grow, relative to each other?


Will Alistair agree to marry Anora even if he is not hardened?

I am trying to get Alistair and Anora to marry each other and let Loghain live at the landsmeet. So before the landsmeet began, I talked to Alistair and he agreed to marry Anora. Anora likewise agreed to marry Alistair. However, when push comes to shove, he backs out after I say that I want to induct Loghain into the Gray Wardens, no matter what I do. The trouble is, I don't remember if I hardened him or not (I played this game a few years ago and stopped playing when my system broke until recently). So the question is, will he AGREE to marry in the first place if he's not hardened (going through with the marriage is a separate issue)? All the guides I've seen mention that he must be hardened to get the ending, but they don't mention this question.


Ping problems in Counter Strike

I have 512 kbps internet plan, but ping is very high during the game. I have done research on it and found others with same speed (512 kbps) but on different ISPs have very low ping during the game.

Apparently Eliza wants me to raise my friendship level with everyone in the village (I think). A lot of people in town are at 1, but a bunch are at zero, and I can't really figure out how to increase it. Can I do it just by talking to people? Or do I have to find gifts for everyone?

How can I disable or avoid Arrow Traps?

Arrow Traps are basically huge jerks. I'm able to activate their one shot by chucking a rock or other throwable item in front of them, and a bomb will destroy it. However there are times when I don't have access to a throwable item, and I'd prefer to avoid using bombs for disabling arrow traps. As far as I can tell there doesn't seem to be any way to avoid getting hit, but I could just be too slow. In what ways can I either disable or avoid an arrow trap?

Why can't I do anything any more?

I have played Skyrim for xbox 360 for a long time now, but recently I've encountered a bug. I can't talk to anybody, I can't select anything, I can't open doors and I can't fight any more. All I can do is walk and run. I can be killed but I can't fight. Even if I load a previous save, when I was able to play, the bug is still present. Why is that? Am I the only one with this problem? When I start a new game, it's working. But when you play 60 hours, you don't want to restart again. I think that the last update was a part of the problem. But when I uninstall it, the problem was fixed to 30%. Now, when I want to play, I can only start to one save in particular. The others, I can't do nothing.


The Support's Duel: Sona vs. Alistar

So I just played a match. The thing is the person playing AD on bottom was completely underfarmed, and I and the jungler had to help them a lot. They said that the Alistar they were laning against was completely stopping their farm, and that our Sona didn't help too much. So Alistar is a great support, but what should a Sona in this case actually do? How can they punish him with success?               Lane Matchup:     T1: AD Tristana and Sona     T2: Caitlyn and Alistar      Junglers:               T1: Udyr     T2: Nocturne


Why do my dwarves climb trees?

My base started on a mountain. I dismantled the wagon and made a large meeting area on two cliffs below. However it seems like that my units like to climb trees. In fact, one of my miners was found stuck in a tree rather than digging but eventually went down. I've searched dwarffortresswiki but only came across Adventure Mode. Is this a feature? ![duck](http://i.stack.imgur.com/xgqqL.png)


Can you save up skill points to spend on a later tier?

I'm trying to plan out my party's builds and would like to know if I can save up skill points during levels 1-20 so that I can dump them all in the Veteran tier once I unlock it.

Where can I safely switch character?

In _State of Decay_ , I can switch character outside of the safe houses when I am not in a car. The last time I did that, I got a loading screen and after it finished, my character was dead. This isn't the kind of game where I really want to risk my people's lives. So where is it safe to switch? (Outposts, ally places, clean houses)

Etymology of the word "nerf"?

How did the word "nerf" develop to it's current meaning in MMO/multiplayer games?

(I used the terminology tag, as it seemed the closest fit, though I'm not actually asking what the word means.)

Unresolved plot lines in The Witcher

I recently completed The Witcher, and found myself wondering about some of the plot lines that didn't seem to be resolved. I'm wondering if this is because of the choices I made (meaning they were addressed if I made different choices), or they were left to be addressed in The Witcher 2, or are they just meant to be open-ended? Some examples I can think of   * What happened to Alvin after he teleported away from Murky Waters? Is there a connection between his amulet and the one that the Grand Master of the Order of the Rose was wearing?   * Who was Triss talking to at the beginning of Chapter 3, and what was the relevance of their conversation? Update: The Alvin situation is covered, anyone have more info about Triss's "secret" conversation?

(Atleast, I think I am, cause I can see that I'm connected to PSN in the XMB menu and I can play multiplayer, which means that I must be connected to the EA servers.

Does Re-Tail force you to leave at closing time?

In previous entries to the _Animal Crossing_ series, the main shop in the village (some variation of Tom Nook's shop) responded to closing time.

I bought Battlefield 3 Premium Edition but it doesnt say im premium on battlelog

So I bought Battlefield 3 Premium Edition about a year ago, and it hasn't said that I'm premium on Battlelog. It doesn't say I have all the content like the ACB-90 knife. When I try to get to use the strategy guides it tells me to buy premium first. I don't get all the content on the premium list but I do have the in game items like expansion packs and weapons. I have this on Xbox 360.

Why can't I get the unique Energy Weapons?

In an earlier question I asked how one could get the unique energy weapons providing one had already completed Heartache By The Number. I was told that if you killed Gloria Van Graff the items _should_ turn up in the Gunrunner's inventory shortly thereafter. I seem to have run into a problem with that scenario. It has been an unknown, but presumably rather large, amount of in game days since I killed Gloria and her brother... and still no unique energy weapons in the Gunrunner store. You'd think they'd be more cooperative considering I stopped their manufacturing specs from being leaked... Since killing Gloria didn't work is there **_any_** other way to get the unique energy weapons or am I SOL?

Where can I check what Xbox 360 console is linked to my Windows Live account?

A few years ago I set up my Xbox 360 with xbox.com to be able to purchase and download things directly to the console from the website. That console has since red-ringed and was replaced under warranty. I wanted to buy something today, but I can't tell which Xbox is registered with my account. I suspect it may be the old broken one, and I'd like to update that to make sure the download goes to the right console. Where on the site can I do this? I don't see anything relevant under "My Account" after I sign in with my Windows Live ID, but maybe I'm just missing something obvious.

Building an Engineer for Multiplayer

What would make a good build for engineers in multiplayer. Here's what I'm using so far, let me know what you think. To tell the truth, it feels like I don't do enough damage right now. I'm finding it hard to kill fast enough so I can stay alive. I am level 18 right now. I got, Incinerate and Overload maxed out, both set toward AOE'ing. Recently got the Drone to the 3rd skill level, which helped me a lot as a decoy. Got Alliance training to the 5th level toward powers, and fitness to the 2nd. I'm using the Locust I SMG. Do engineers relie on weapon a lot? Should I be aiming for an Assault Rifle or a Shotgun, and increase my cooldowns? Thanks


How do I use Worm Select?

Does the soothe bell really work when raising happiness?

I hatched a Riolu in Heart Gold and then traded to Platinum. Gave Riolu my soothe bell and started biking up and down until I hit 40,000 steps. It is my understanding that every 256 steps raises the pokemon happiness 1 level. In my example, 40,000 steps would actually be 156.25 points of happiness. With the soothe bell doing 2x the amount, that would be 312.50 points of happiness. Am I correct in the statement of the soothe bell doing 2x the amount? If so, how come my Riolu still does not have the maximum amount of happiness to evolve? EDIT: Now over 45,000 steps and still not enough.

Minecraft Inventory Problems

I was on Minecraft the other day and I encountered a problem. Normally on my Minecraft I click an item once and I an move it around my inventory at will. Although when I tried it the other day, I had to click the item and drag it to move it anywhere. It started when I loaded up the Vechs Super Hostile, Inferno Mines off of Minecraft forums. I've tried deleting Minecraft and re- downloading it, restarting Minecraft, and shutting down the computer. Any and all help would be appreciated on the matter ASAP. I really like this game and I don't want to have to deal with this annoying feature on adventure maps. Thank you.


Item Lock-up Bug

For some reason I'm having trouble moving items in my inventory.

X-Com 1: Having a secondary weapon

I play UFO Defense / Enemy Unknown (X-Com) since its out now. And I always equip a weapon on the right hand slot and a grenade in the left hand slot. On most Longplay videos, people equip grenades on the belt and take them from there when needed (which costs Timeunits) Why is this? Is it influencing the aiming or timeunit use of my soldiers to have a weapon in one hand and a grenade in the other?


Why can Sona speak in game?

I enjoy reading the lore behind the champions in League of Legends. Sona is a Champion I enjoy playing so I read her lore earlier. It seems she is mute: > Sona has no memory of her true parents. As an infant, found abandoned on the > doorstep of an Ionian adoption house, nestled atop an ancient instrument in > an exquisite case of unknown origins. She was an unusually well-behaved > child, always quiet and content. Her caretakers were sure she would find a > home quickly, but it soon became apparent that what they mistook for > uncommon geniality was actually an inability to speak or to produce any > sound whatsoever. Sona remained at the adoption house until her teens, > watching in hopeless silence as prospective adopters passed her by. Yet in-game, she is able to speak. What's up with that?

What are the chances for getting bed head after a week?

Does anyone happen to know an exact or approximate percentage as far as the chances for getting bed head goes? I'm trying to get one of my characters to get bed head, but I'm not having much luck. I know it takes at least a week, but after a few weeks of checking on my character weekly, it's not happened yet. So is there a certain number of days I can wait where bed head will absolutely have happened? Or, similarly, can I just exit the game without saving and try again? Or will the game recognize that I played on that character recently?


How can I change what faction I am "Closest To"?

As the early parts of Fallen London wind down, you meet the Numismatrix, who (partially) explains the many different currencies in the game, and invites you to choose a faction to be _Closest To_. She promised that I would be able to change which faction I'm _Closest To_ at some point in the future. I initially chose to be close to Hell, because I was becoming intimate of devils at the time. But those d----d hellspawn just wanted to get their hands on my immortal soul! I'm starting to think that my choice of faction was hasty, and that I would prefer to join a group I can identify with. Some level-headed people. A more human group -- the Revolutionaries, perhaps. I mean, all _they_ want to do is end society as I know it, which is certainly a step in a safer direction. So: How can I change the faction that I am _Closest To_?


What does reducing an NPC's stamina do?

So lets say you drain an NPC'S stamina with Poisons/Absorb Enchant/Etc... What does this mean for me: the player?

Are they not able to block? Do weapons do more damage? ....Anything else worthwhile maybe?

How can I move Morrowind in windowed mode on Windows 7?

I have a widescreen display so Morrowind looks skewed in fullscreen mode. However, If I start it in windowed mode, _it is drawn slightly off screen_ , with the top being above the boundary of my screen. Since the game also steals the keyboard and mouse from the OS, I can't seem to move it nywhere. I already searched for some methods of moving an off-screen window, this for example, but none work for this reason.


Racing profitably with expensive cars in Real Racing 3

I've completed about 50% of Real Racing 3, own 29 cars and my driver level is 72. As I progress towards the series with the really slick (and expensive) cars, I'm starting to notice I'm making hardly enough money to cover repairs after race. Pushing from the 22nd position to the podium in about three laps requires some rather brutal driving, and even with somewhat clean racing my cars seem to decay faster than most isotopes of uranium. Winning R$8,500 from a race and repairing the car for R$8,400 gets rather frustrating fast. How can I turn this around and start making money to afford even faster cars? Should I just keep replaying the races that net more than R$10,000? Or are there some hidden rewards besides the tiny bonus for 100% series completion?


How do the special abilities of each character translate to game play?

I've basically unlocked every character but Wes and Maxwell at this point. I've mostly played with Wickerbottom and Wilson. And, I know that each character has their own particular intricacies. But, do any of them excel at anything that is not obvious? In other words, Why should I play with one particular character over another? For example: **Wickerbottom** : Can build everything at the Science Machine level of research at the beginning of the game. **Wilson** : Grows a beard, which keeps him warm and can be used to build a meat effigy. **Willow** : Has her own lighter. These are all fairly obvious, but what do the others bring to the party? **Wolfgang** is obviously strong, but how does this translate?   **Wendy** is comfortable in the darkness and doesn't go insane. But what else?   **WX78** is upgradable. But what else?   **Woodie** Comes with his own axe. Turns into a BEAVER. (WTF?!? What do I do with that apart from harvest everything in sight . . .) To be clear: **I'm not asking for an opinion ( _i.e_ Who is best?). But, rather I'm asking how do each of their special abilities change the game?**


can multiple users log into the Wii U at the same time?

Am I stupid? I want to play Sega Allstars Racing Transformed with my wife but we can't figure out how to play with separate profiles. It's either Scott and Scott(2) or Izzy and Izzy(2).


Does PS Plus help prevent savegame corruption?

I recently encountered a crash in Battlefield 4 and decided to take a break. Out of curiosity, I browsed my PS4's storage to see what's stored inside, and noticed that only the Battlefield 4 savegame was described as _corrupted_. Upon launching the game anew, I had to acknowledge the loss of all of my progress thus far. In an unrelated case, I decided to subscribe to Playstation Plus. I know that my PS4 will automatically upload savegames to the cloud, as long as I am subsribed to PS Plus, but I was wondering if it also does so for corrupted savegames. Obviously, if it does I'll have to make sure to disable the auto-upload feature. So, does my PS Plus subscription help me avoid corrupted savegames, or not?


Help me fix façade!

I have windows 7, and I recently downloaded Façade. When it was finished downloading, I opened it up and there were (seemingly) no problems. The red curtain for loading came, then the black screen while you hear Trips voice mail. Then they show you a picture of Grace and Trip in their apartment. Only, on my computer they don't look right. They don't have colored eyes. Just plain white. The graphics are crappier than usual. Then the menu where you pick your name would pop up, right? On my computer, it's a black screen. There's a gray box, (I'm assuming this is where the name selection takes place), but it's just black and gray. Nothing else. What am I supposed to do to fix this? Can Façade run on windows 7?


What does Forester's "foliage density" setting do?

I'm using Forester in MCEdit and don't know what this setting is supposed to do. How does it work?


What are warning quests?

In some quests where you must slay a large monster there is a large question mark with "WARNING" written under it. What does that mean? I assumed it means there might be other monsters in the quest, but some of the things I've read online contradict this. I've also only seen other large monsters in a single warning quest (against the Qurupeco).


Do weapon proficiencies carry over on dropped weapons?

Modern Warfare 3 has this system for equipping a "Proficiency" on your weapons. Does this proficiency "stick" with the weapon after it has been dropped? For instance, if I pick up a downed friend's weapon, and he was using the "Kick" proficiency, will my shots with that gun carry a reduction in recoil as well? What about if I mistakenly drop my weapon and then pick it back up? Will I lose my proficiency? If it is possible to transfer proficiency when picking up a dropped weapon, how can I tell the proficiency that its old owner was using?


In real time, how long is a single day?

My question is fairly simple; How long does it take in the real world to pass one full in-game 24 hour period in Timber and Stone?


Why are there duplicate game entries in my Steam library?

I purchased Sid Meier's Civilization IV: The Complete Edition, a package that includes four items. Three of the included items are displayed twice in my games library, with the message _[game] is not available on your current platform_. Why do these duplicate entries exist, and can I hide or remove them?


What happens if I get arrested?

On the road to Whiterun I came across 3-4 guards escorting a Stormcloak prisoner. I killed the guards and freed the prisoner. Then a couple of seconds later a guard turned up and tried to arrest me, giving me three choices:   * To pay a 40 gold fine   * To go to prison   * To resist arrest I chose to pay the fine. What would have happened if I had picked going to prison? The guard said I'd go to prison and have my stolen items taken from me - however, I had an amulet I looted from one of the dead guards that I equipped and that didn't disappear. Are things really taken or not? If I had resisted arrest and killed the new guard, would a new one have spawned ad infinitum?


What happens if I kill Imperial guards transporting a Stormcloak prisoner?

On the way to Whiterun from Riverwood, I rescued a Stormcloak prisoner from some Imperial guards. The Stormcloak guy didn't even say much of a thanks (although I did choose the option to free him). Will freeing prisoners like this affect my standing in the game at all or is it pointless behaviour?


Any conflicts with DLC from a Dutch PSN account when playing a UK PS3 version of South Park: Stick of Truth?

Unfortunately, here in the Netherlands we only have the censored version of South Park: The Stick of Truth for the PS3. Both the US and UK versions are uncensored. I am considering ordering the game from abroad, but I do not want to have any trouble with DLC later on. So my question is whether I will encounter any regional conflicts with DLC purchased on a Dutch PSN account, while playing a UK version of the game. **Background:** > players who purchase DLC from a different region than that of their Game > Disc will be unable to access their DLC from within the game http://help.ea.com/en/article/ps3-dlc-region-locking-faq/

Where do synthetics go after the Reapers have cleared the galaxy of organics?

Is the ocean at either end of the map infinite?

I am wondering if the oceans at either end of the map are infinite. I want to use one as my primary source of water by using 2 pumps and an insanely long wire (using a sky bridge) to pump water back to my base, while at the same time using it for my Obsidian Farm. I'd rather not have to worry about setting up a second water source in the middle of Hardcore Mode.


(GRA) Overkill * Challenge: What qualifies as an "Animal" for this challenge?

I have the Gun Runners DLC for Fallout New Vegas and I am trying to complete one of the challenges that comes with the DLC, '(GRA) Overkill *': > Kill (20) Animals with any Fat Man or Fat Mines. The problem is, I don't know what "Animals" means... I've tried shooting my Fat Man at a pack of Geckos. When I checked my challenge I didn't have any progress towards challenge completion (0/20). So then I tried to shoot a mini- nuke from my Fat Man at a pack of Bighorners. When I checked the challenge progress it still said 0/20. What are considered as "Animals" for this challenge?


How to use the Titan Extractor?

On Warframe, they recently added a new item called the Titan Extractor. After building it, I have no I idea what I need to do with it. It says it goes to planets to collect resources, but how?


Does the link gun repair nodes more quickly when amped?

I was playing a Warfare map recently and I picked up a damage amp as I headed toward a skirmish for the prime node, which my team was controlling. My team took out the attackers just before I arrived, so I decided to pull out my trusty link gun and repair the node before leaving for other team's core. The prime node _seemed_ kind of like it was repaired more quickly because I was amped, but I wasn't paying very close attention because I've never really considered it before. I was the only person repairing the node at the time. Does the link gun repair nodes more quickly when under the effects of a damage amp, or was I just imagining it?

Best way to avoid damage playing Rogue in Dragon Age II

I recently started playing Dragon age II for the first time. I chose the Rogue class and would like some pointer on avoiding damage. The Evade ability comes in handy, but can I combine this with other abilities/ party abilities?


Is supergemming possible in Gemcraft Labyrinth?

In Gemcraft 1 and Gemcraft 0 you could combine high level gem with low level gem (difference must be at least 2 grades). It increased the damage, fire rate, range and specials. I tried to do this in Gemcraft Labyrinth but the damage, fire rate and range got lower. Also when i combined low pure gem into high dual gem, the special from low gem stayed the same and the other has lowered. So is increasing the gem grade by upgrading, or combining same grades the only way to strengthen a gem (not counting amplifiers of course)?


How can I 5-star the Zaltys?

The Zaltys is the end boss of the demo. He's big and mean and has a ton of health. It takes me forever to kill him, and my swords do very little damage to him. I only got two stars! What's an easy way to get five stars on him?


Invisible Characters

I have a Super Nintendo with several game cartridges. When you place the game in, it will load fine, all sound and pictures until the actual time to play. The background is visible, but, no Aladin, or no Mowgli, or no Simba will appear so you can play. I can hear these characters and if you use the joy stick, the background will move and you can hear the characters grunting as they are attacked until they die. How can I get these to work?


Raiders and their Gold

In Sid Meier's Pirates the Top ten Pirates will roam about the Caribbean slowly gaining wealth. Based on when you take them you gain more gold. This got me thinking about raiders and how they can slowly accumulate gold from captured prizes. Is it possible to wait at the last minute for a raider to stop raiding ships to earn more gold from them. Or do the ships always have a set amount when leaving their ports?


How to make icon-based clan name in CoD Ghost?

I don't understand how people can hack PS4 games like using 30 perks at once, and treating assault streak like it's support streak (dying doesn't break the streak). But some of the other ones I'm interested about is how do players change their clan color to Green and other colors, or the latest one I've seen is make them look like Playstation Controller buttons! ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/9ckAZ.png)


How to deal with 3DS' SD card for a system transfer?

I'm thinking of buying a 3DS XL soon and I'd like to do a system transfer to that new device. Is there anything I should know before proceeding? I have a big SD card on my first 3DS and I want to use it on the second 3DS after the system transfer. How do I do this? Does it transfer the whole data or only the purchases so when I'll plug my old card in the 3DS 2 it will directly work? Thanks!

How to start playing DotA?

I just read the Valve announcement of DotA 2 and in the meanwhile I would like to try DotA. I have a some questions about it.   1.

Where can I found a DotA strategy guide good for newbies?


How does Civilization 5 calculate who has the pointiest sticks?

Periodically, there is a list of "People with the pointiest Sticks" displayed in Civilization 5. How is this value calculated, does it take into account the power of the individual units or is it based mostly on number of units? And is this value also used by the AI to gauge the military strength of the human player or is that totally seperate? I remember a statement by one of the developers/representatives that the AI always has a rough guess of the player's military strength. But there are also indications that AI scouting is important for the estimation of the player's strength. My personal observation is that the AI does significantly underestimate a small number of technologically superior units and mocks my puny military that wipes their army out a few turns later. I'm wondering if there are some facts about that known.


Playing a sneaky character in Oblivion

I've found quite difficult to use a sneaky character mostly because it's quite impossible for me to avoid close combat. What are the best strategies to 'one-shot' an enemy or to deal with a crowd?


Do Caitlyn's Traps still reveal stealthed targets?

When you step on one of Caitlyn's traps (or any other champion skill that reveals for a duration) will it still reveal champions once they enter stealth? So, if I stepped on a trap, and I entered stealth as Kha'Zix, Teemo, etc, would I still be revealed to her and her teammates? Or would I still enter stealth?


How other players can play my maps?

I created now some different maps with the editor on gta online.   Now I want to let other players play and rate my maps. But how can I achieve, that other players play my maps? The only way I can let other players play my maps is, when I host a race with my own map and search for players. But how is it possible to play other players maps?


Does staying level 1 reduce the requirements for gaining xp/levels?

I read somewhere that staying level 1, and refusing to enter the level up screen, would allow you to get every perk. I think the logic was something like... the game doesn't increase required experience for gaining skill levels until you take the level-up. At first this seemed true, every sneak attack I landed raised me one full level in sneak, getting 100 right away. But grinding alchemy from 99-100 clearly doesn't have the same requirements as going from 01-02. So the game still seems to be keeping track of my levels. If that's the case, can you really get every perk? Is there any advantage in refusing to level up, aside from easier enemies?


As a non-magic user, is it convenient to go to college (of Winterhold)?

Nidoru is a level 32 sneaky archer assassin thief. She has been called "dumb" by a number of city guards (all are dead now). Well, Nidoru now wants to go to college to prove all the dead guards wrong. What benefits will she obtain from going to this college and completing their quest? Is it even possible for her to get admitted or "finish" college when the only spell she has ever used is Healing? As a college counselor what would you recommend Nidoru to do?


Where does the experience awarded at the end of a wave come from?

**Preface** : From this question, we know that experience(XP) is shared among all participants for each enemy killed. You can see your XP meter increasing as enemies are killed, so that's fairly obvious. Once the final enemy in the wave is killed, you get an additional lump sum of XP from somewhere. In this question, it is hinted at that getting more score multipliers increases the amount of XP that you get, but this can't be factored into the XP from killing since multipliers aren't determined until the end of the round. **Question** : Considering all of the information above, does the extra bonus XP at the end of a wave correspond directly to your score for that round? Or is it from something else entirely? For example, I start with 0 XP and complete a wave by killing enemies worth a total of 10 XP. If my score for that wave (after multipliers have been taken into account) is 25, does that mean that I now have 35 XP?


Is it possible to get legendary drop while in a different map?

Let say in a co-op game, you are in a different map than other players (for example while doing split bounties), is it possible to get a legendary drop in other maps that other players cleared already. I'm talking about chests, white/elite mobs not bosses.


Does ping matter much under 30ms?

I play Quake-Live a lot, and hear people claim that they miss or are at a disadvantage because their ping may be 30ms while the person they are playing with will have 20ms. Sometimes it seems even more ridiculous like 20ms vs 15ms. If a ping is that low, does goes lower have any noticeable effect or advantage?


How do I counter-block the spinning Gasfellas?

Some of the Gasfellas (I believe it's the higher-level, boss-type guys) spin around and around and do quite a bit of damage if the Kid gets caught in their attack. I realise they're best dealt with from a distance, but that luxury is not always available. Is it possible to counter-block them (I presume on the first spin) and I've just not been able to do it yet, or is it an uncounterblocklable (phew) attack?


Where are some good places to grind CP?

I'm looking for some good places to grind CP. Ideally they would be:   * Relatively quick and painless fights. Mindless button mashing at its best.   * An amount of CP such that it _makes sense_ to stop and grind there. If subsequent areas of the game are going to reward double or triple CP for the same level of difficulty then it's not a great grinding location. Maybe 1 or 2 areas per episode? For those who aren't aware, the game is split into episodes until you've unlocked just about every area. Your growth is capped at fixed levels per episode.


Why am I losing power after I fire my weapons?

I've started playing Space Pirates and Zombies, and while I am enjoying it immensely, I've come across an issue that I am sure someone here would be able to shed some light on. I have found that with one of my ships, once I fire my weapons, I do lose energy for the shot itself, which makes perfect sense, but then I lose even more energy **after** I've fired my weapons. Here is a video clip demonstrating the issue: And here is the configuration of the ship in question: ![Layout](http://i.stack.imgur.com/pcxEv.png) The ship is equipped with a pair of small overload emitters: ![emitters](http://i.stack.imgur.com/SaiEd.png) I originally thought firing the weapons removes my cloak, so that the additional power draw is for reestablishing it, but after swapping it out for a shield the situation did not change. So, what's up with this mysterious power draw?


Will using Javascript sorcery have a negative effect on the game?

Guild Wars 2 Digital Deluxe items acquisition

A few months ago, I've purchased the pre-order edition of Guild Wars 2 Digital Deluxe. I haven't been able to play the game up untill now due a computer upgrade. I was wondering which items can be used on every character, and which items can only be used once on your account. This because I'd like to make sure my correct character gets the items. Next to that, how do you get the items ingame? Here is a list of items, is this complete? > **Summon Mistfire Wolf Elite Skill** This unique elite skill allows the > player to summon a temporary Mistfire Wolf pet for use in combat. > > **Rytlock Miniature** This rare miniature is a perfect replica of Rytlock > Brimstone and will accompany your character on all of their adventures > throughout Tyria. > > **Golem Banker** Your very own Golem banker, at your command for 5 days! > This mechanical man-servant will grant you access to your account storage > from anywhere in the world. > > **Chalice of Glory** Earn some extra Glory with this one-time use chalice. > Use Glory to unlock rewards in PvP as well as compare your progress against > other players. > > **Tome of Influence** Give your guild a one-time boost of influence.

What are the differences between The Sims 3: Pets on Windows and Xbox 360?

I am trying to determine the difference between _The Sims 3: Pets_ on Windows and Xbox 360. So far I've looked at the Origins store page, Wikipedia page (focused on the PC version), and IGN pages for the PC and Xbox 360 versions. What content is the same, what is different, and how does _Pets_ interact with the base game?

So I was out drinking last night...how do I remove a tattoo?

Geralt got into a bit of fun with the Blue Stripes last night. After getting rip-roaringly drunk, the Witcher thought it might be good to see if it was possible to float across the river on the bums of four prostitutes. It wasn't. The Witcher woke without equipment and a new tattoo on his neck. The equipment was easy to recover, as Ves had our back, but now Geralt has a nude woman brandishing a sword on his neck. It sorta clashes with the whole "monster slayer" vibe I'm going for. Is there any way to remove it?


If I buy a SC2 digital copy from LA, will I be able to switch to the NA servers?

This warning comes on top of the screen when I try to buy the game:   "Retail copies sold in Colombia (your account country) will connect to the Latin America game region." I so don't want to pay that amount of money to play in a server that seems to be the lowest populated and lowest level server. I don't think its worth it to buy it if I can't choose where to play.

Does having more players on run your computer harder?

So I've had this Minecraft server for a long time that I just play on with friends using Hamachi. I've always used the free version of Hamachi, which only allows up to 5 players to be in the group, but I am considering buying the large version of it which can have up to 30 people. This would allow me to have more people on the server at once. So my question is, does having more people on my Minecraft server use more of my computer power? Whenever I have my server up, my computer fan is running like crazy and it makes other games lag and stuff run slow because of all the energy it is using, so if I have more people actually on the server will it run my computer any harder? _Note: This is just a simple vanilla Minecraft server that you can download fromMinecraft.net No Bukkit or anything._

How do matrilineal marriages work in Crusader Kings 2?

I am having trouble understanding the matrilineal marriage dynamic in Crusader Kings 2. A couple of times, I've had a female member of my dynasty marry someone matrilinearly who has then ascended to, say Baron or King. The problem is, they have had children, and the children, who are then heirs, have been of the (more powerful) father's dynasty. I was under the impression that all children born of a matrilineal marriage would be of my dynasty, hence why I married my daughters off to powerful husbands in the first place! I must be missing something, so how does this mechanic work?


How can I effectively use Tempests?

I'm not a very experienced player in Starcraft, but I've noticed that the new Tempest unit seems a little disappointing, despite its capabilities. This made me wonder if I'm using it incorrectly, and led me to a few questions:   * What's the most effective way to utilize the Tempest's long range?   * How does the effectiveness of Tempests change from PvP, PvT, and PvZ?


What game modes can I earn XP in?

In Heart of the Swarm you can gain XP as each race by building units and killing enemy units. XP gain is obviously disabled in the campaign, and obviously enabled in ranked multiplayer matches. Is XP gain enabled in any of the following?   * unranked multiplayer matches (via matchmaking)   * vs AI matches (via matchmaking)   * melee matches (via custom game)   * arcade matches For the modes in which it is enabled, do I earn full XP in all of them or are there any that offer reduced XP?

_amazon.de_ lists the German version of **Phantasy Star Online** (for _Dreamcast_ ) with this cover: ![Phantasy Star Online cover \(amazon.de\)](http://i.stack.imgur.com/5cRWY.jpg) However, the only German version I know has this cover (which you can find on _amazon.co.uk_): ![Phantasy Star Online cover \(amazon.co.uk\)](http://i.stack.imgur.com/t93OU.jpg) Was the _amazon.de_ cover ever used? Maybe in the first/older edition? Or does it belong to a different localized version and _amazon.de_ made a mistake? Or was an early draft and _amazon.de_ didn't change it to the actual cover?

Does your Galactic Readiness have any effect before the "end-game"?

I know that Galactic Readiness defines how the game will end, but does it have an effect on the rest of the game as well? For example, if I played a ton of multiplayer and got my readiness up to 100%, would the dialog change so that everyone was commenting on how well we were doing? Would the map or mission locations change at all?


Do the character traits of other leaders affect anything?

When you open up the diplomacy tab on your screen, you would notice that under the picture of other faction leader, there are 2 traits that always appear in this format:               [first trait]/[second trait]       The traits appear in 3 different colours: Red, Yellow or Green. This is depending on how 'good' the trait is, with green being 'the best' trait and red being 'the worst' trait. For example, a trait like 'Steadfast' would be green in colour but a trait like 'Devious' would be red. Do these traits actually affect anything? In my case, one of the faction leaders have the following traits: ![What do you think?](http://i.stack.imgur.com/vDsVB.jpg) **Does the fact that he is 'Reliable' affect anything? Does it mean that I can rely on him more to help me out?** Here is another interesting thing. As you can see, his faction is currently at war with 4 others. On the other hand, they have no Peace treaties with other factions. **Is this because of the fact that his other trait is 'Warlike'? Causing him to be more aggressive when it comes to waging war?**

Why do i get start of season squads when creating a custom tournament?

My squads are updated via EA networks, and when playing Kick-off games I get the latest squads with the January transfers.

Should I wait to generate a new world until bukkit updates to 1.7.2?

I'm resurrecting my server after many months of crunch time. I haven't updated it since the 1.6.2 patch. I've read that there are many changes to the world generation code; new biomes, larger biomes, and smaller oceans. I have a seed that I like and I wanted to generate a new world using it. However, I'm not sure if generating it now vs later will change the world that the seed creates.


What item is more preferable as Katarina: Hextech Gunblade or Will of the Ancients?

I have been thinking about this for quite some time now. When I have my Ionian Boots of Lucidity and I got "Hextech Revolver" as well as "Rylai's Crystal Scepter" and Rabadon's Deathcap what path should I take with the "Hextech Revolver" and why? Is it situational or is one choice better than the other? Here is my thought process: The "Hextech Gunblade" provides me with almost the same amount of AP with a little AD which is nice, but not that great in my AP build. The gunblade also has a short cooldown ability that adds more burst for that little extra kick when you need it. The "Will of the Ancients" gives me 10 AP more and also adds an Aura so I boost my teammates AP by 30 and give them 20% spell vamp. In addition to that this item costs 1125 gold less to build. I can see that the Hextech Gunblade is better by itself, but is it worth the extra money you have to invest to get it?


How come my trash isn't being taken out?

I have an complex and extensive AE system set up. In this system, I have two barrels (of cobblestone) connected to my AE network via storage buses. These buses are set at a priority level of 64. MY AE Drive is set at priority level 1. This setup tells my network to store cobblestone first in the barrels, and then if there is no room to instead store it in the drive. I have decided I do not want more cobblestone than I have stored, so I connected a wooden chest to a void chest via hopper, and then setup a third storage bus to this wooden chest. I configured the storage bus to only store cobblestone, and set it a priority level of 63. This as I understand it will make the system first check the barrels, and then if they are full, to then store the cobblestone into the chest. My problem is that the AE system will not store excess cobblestone in the chest, and insteaed continues to store it in my drives. Why is this not working as intended?


Why Twister over Piercing Orb

My question is, what is the reasoning behind using twister, is there a large advantage over using something like piercing orb? Is it an AP sink? If so, what is the advantage over using the Arcane Orb that pierces.


How can I keep my dwarf from walking to his doom?

_Goden Geshudenam has died after colliding with an obstacle._ I discovered the hard way that dwarves will walk, to their doom, across a partially deconstructed bridge. Sadly one of my masons is in the process of removing a bridge. And another dwarf, pictured below, is walking towards his untimely demise. How can I stop him? ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/jSVQK.png)


What is the optimal number of creep tumors per creep route?

If you are spreading creep using a single tumor, the next tumor will be ready before the creep has spread to its full extent. More creep tumors will make the creep spread faster. But, too many creep tumors and you will essentially be wasting queen energy (assuming you're continuing in a single direction). What is the optimal number of creep tumors to balance creep spread with queen energy? I understand that "too many" creep tumors allows you to fan out in other directions, but I'm curious to know a rule of thumb as a basis for decision making, and tweak per the situation.


Are there hidden costs to buying Dota 2?

I ask because I'm looking to get Dota 2, but I don't want to pay more than the upfront cost through micro-transactions in-game. Is the game fully released yet? Is it possible to get for free?


How do you get inside the hidden chambers on fy_buzzkill?

How do you get inside the hidden chamber(s), behind the escalators, on fy_buzzkill I'm playing version 1.6. Edit: I noticed a couple of players were able to crawl _inside_ the escalator, camp and shoot anyone who lurked in that area from inside. Normally, the escalator throws you in the air when you step, walk or run on it. However, a player asked me to crouch+move onto the escalator; when I did I went straight through the escalator. There isn't any ammo or easter egg there but it is a very, very good place to camp. Now, next day I tried to repeat the trick over and over again (multiplayer and local) but failed. I need "steps to reproduce the behavior". Here is screenshot in overview mode: ![screenshot 1](http://i.stack.imgur.com/Bwbpm.jpg) Move around here and there so that some of the wall and other textures disappear which reveals the space for camping: ![screenshot 2](http://i.stack.imgur.com/kCkHm.jpg)
