Is there any way to view an overall Win/Loss record for online multiplayer in MK8?

In MKWii and MK7, it was possible to view a win/loss record for your online racing, with a "win" awarded for each person you finished ahead of, and a "loss" for each person you finished behind in a race. E.g. finishing 3rd in a 8 player race would give you 5 wins and 2 losses. In MK7 you could view an overall record, and you could also see your record against individual players or "rivals" from the "Friends and rivals" screen. The feature for showing your records against individuals is again something included in MK8 - however, there is no (apparent) option to view and overall win/loss record (i.e. total wins/losses against all players). Has this option been removed from MK8 or is there a way that you can see this data?


How do I play as a zombie in Agent Hunt Mode?

I've joined games that had "Agent Hunt" activated but always play the host's partner instead of the invading attacker (zombie, J'avo, what have you). How can I turn the tables? What setting am I missing?


Do Xbox Live Indie games not have achievements?

I was getting started on an Xbox Live Arcade Indie Game (Penny Arcade's On the Rain-slick Precipice of Darkness Episode 3), and I went to check out the Achievements. But I couldn't find Achievements anywhere for this game; not in the in-game menu, and not in the Xbox menu system. Do Indie games simply not have Achievements, or is this particular game missing them?


Breeding for egg moves

On various websites such as bulbapedia and serebii, the parents for egg moves are listed. But, lets say I want to breed for an Absol that knows play rough. In order to do this, I would have to first start out with another pokemon, say, a (male) mawile, that knows play rough. Once I get an absol that knows play rough, though, can I further breed this 'play rough absol' with another absol / ditto to get more absols that know play rough? Or would I need to keep using mawile?


How to stop zombies from spawning in my torch-lit mines?

Viewing Yorda's subtitles

I missed out on playing this on the PS2 and have just finished it on the PS3 and thought it was ace! I remember reading somewhere that on the 2nd play through Yorda's subtitles were translated but I've just started a 2nd play through and this isn't the case for me. Is there something I need to do to enable this or was it not carried over to the PS3 version?


What's the difference between Prime Magic and Arcane Exaltation?

I'm looking at both of these prime spells, and they seem to do almost the same thing. The first claims to award 3 magic power to the hero, while the second claims to award 2 magic power _permanently_. What does it mean by that? Is Prime Magic not permanent, thus having to be cast (or something)?


What does Maven want?

After I completed the quest for the Thieves' Guild to deal with business at Goldenglow Estate, Brynjolf informed me that Maven Black-Briar wants to speak with me. But when I headed over to her place she had nothing to say to me except her usual stuff about how annoying I am and how important she is. I don't have a quest to talk to her either. What gives? Did she really want to talk to me or is Brynjolf just winding me up?


Can I give the naked stalking courier his clothes back?

The courier who frequently delivers you letters to start quest chains got killed outside of Riften by the guards. Not wanting to let a perfectly good dead body go to waste I decided to loot it, including his clothing. Apparently the courier re-spawned and now is not wearing any clothing when he delivers. It is a little awkward when I am walking through a city and a naked man walks up to you and says > I have special package for you, your eyes only! Is there any console command to re-spawn him to make him come back with his normal clothing? * * * UPDATE: Proof that it happened. Also another note, reverse pickpocketing clothing did not fix it. In fact he had clothing in his inventory already that he chose not to equip.


Does the 4-gem piece in Columns 3 actually exist?

Back on ye olde Genesis, the game Columns 3 has a peculiar image on the backside of its box: ![Huh.](http://i.stack.imgur.com/AQiXi.png) This screenshot (located on the top right of the box) depicts both players having pieces that have extra halves on the top and bottom. Normally I would dismiss this as just a bizarre probably-capture-artifacting thing, but my memory assures me that it absolutely is possible and has occurred once before, and none of the other images on the box have any image quality issues. So... I'm asking if anybody has any definitive proof either way. The image below is pretty low-resolution, but I don't think I have my box around to scan any more.


Focus current craft on orbit map

I lost focus of my craft on the orbit map and I'm flying far away from any celestial bodies that I can focus. I have to plan a maneuver but a single pixel on my current flight path represents a couple of hours of flight time since I cannot get a good angle on in. Is there any way to regain focus on my craft like i can click on Kerbal or Minmus for instance.

What do the weapon prefixes mean in Dead Island?

I noticed that the weapons in Dead Island have prefixes on their names. The ones I've seen so far are:   * Damaging   * Feeble   * Tiring   * Weak   * Flimsy   * Spiteful   * Disabling In examining the items, it _seems_ that the names are related to the most extreme stats, such as:   * `Flimsy` weapons have very low **Durability**   * `Tiring` weapons have very high **Handling** However, I'm not sure of the pattern for other attributes like `Feeble` and `Spiteful`. For example, in the store I see two items, a `Spiteful Baseball Bat` and a `Spiteful Mace`. Here is a stat comparison:                               Spiteful Baseball Bat                  Spiteful Mace     Damage                  71                                  64     Force                   95                                 123     Durability              32                                  33       Handling                70                                  24      The highest stat for both of them is **Force** , so why aren't they `Disabling`? There's a vast difference between their **Handling** scores and **Durability** is roughly the same. I don't get it. What are all the weapon prefixes, and how do they relate to the weapon's attributes?


Maximum arena reward, stop after 9 wins?

How to counter Anti-Mage late game?

We just lost two times in a row because of an unstoppable Anti-Mage in the other team. Both games were very long (50-70 minutes) and even though we paid attention to not feed him or his team nor let him farm too much, in late game he pwned our team at each team fight: _Manta Style + Skull Basher + another speed/damage item = gg_ Which counter-pick works against Anti-Mage? How can an Anti-Mage be countered in game, and which items works effectively against him late-game?


Is it possible to have more than three saved games in Super Mario 3D Land?

Is there any way to have more than 3 saved games in Super Mario 3D Land? My wife and kids have claimed all three saved game slots, and I'd like to play sometime... The 3DS has an SD card, so it seems like it ought to have lots of storage, but I don't see any way to use it.


How do I convert world data into a map and how do I install server side mods?

I have a couple questions. I'm hosting a Minecraft server that I downloaded directly from the minecraft.net site. It's legit and whatnot. First of all I was wondering if there was a map app that could take the world data and convert it into a map on the server side (not the client mods), hopefully one that's live and runs in a browser. Secondly, is it possible to put the vanilla minecraft server 1.0 into something like bukkit so I can install server-side mods? If so where would I go and how would I get started.

How many different phase portal challenges are there?

Does anyone know how many different phase portal challenges there are in Torchlight 2 (and if so, what each one is)? They seem to be few and far between (and are typically difficult), but the rewards are usually worth the effort. **Update:** I should also point out that a few of them appear to be act- specific. I ran into a challenge last night in Act 3 that I hadn't seen before, and which was set in an Act-3 like bog.


Weapon % damage bonus

In Borderlands, I often see gun descriptions with things like +40% damage. Is this percentage pre-applied when I look at the damage stat? Or do I need to mentally add 40% to listed weapon damage when comparing weapons? How about for rate-of-fire? or reload speed?

External Mods to locate specific blocks?

I'm looking for clay blocks, and they are _quite_ hard to find. I know that I could simply edit my inventory and add more clay blocks, but that doesn't quite have the same "fun" factor as setting out in a boat and fighting tooth and nail to wrest every last clay block from the hands of those filthy creepers. Are there any external utilities that will at least point me towards the nearest patch of clay? I saw this image in the minecraft chat that looks like it could be what I want, but I don't know how that screenshot was taken (or how to use it). **Edit:** Thanks to the mod, I discovered a cache of 88 clay blocks not 20 units from my spawn!


Do items drop based on class used or most used?

After accuiring my third 'Dead Ringer' in as many hours while playing tf2, I was wondering, does the item dropped correlate with:   * Absolutely nothing (completely random)   * The class you have been using   * The classes you have been most often killing/interacting with If so this can be used easily to manipulate drops :) although I do doubt this is the case

What is the purpose of this unreachable lever?

I love to roam the world, looking for adventures. This led me, among many other places, to Ironbind Barrow - good place with good treasure and it gave me a good laugh (see below) but that's not the point.

I done my mountain goat dance (don't ask) and reached it unharmed in the short way and this is what I saw: (click for full image) ![strange structure](http://i.stack.imgur.com/NYNB1.jpg) I came closer to find this lever inside those walls: (click for full image) ![lever inside walls](http://i.stack.imgur.com/DSD5x.jpg) Anyone know what is this lever?

Do all players spawn on the same block in SMP?

Do all players on server spawn at the exactly same spot? What I mean is, do _all_ the players have the **exact same** spawn coordinates? I know that the player spawns at the same point so if I place a dirt block in the place I spawned   _all_ the players will spawn on it?

I do not get **?** bitizens who are Mon Calamari, only Akbar. I have unlocked the species and have them living in the Death Star but I've not managed to unlock the Scene because I haven't had one request the floor the aquarium's on as their appearance is relatively rare. Any guidance?

Can you turn off the light bar detection feedback?

In Thief on Playstation 4, the controller's light bar lights up heavily when the player moves into light. I find this very annoying. Is there any way to turn off this feedback? I know that the controller light itself can not be turned off completely and I don't want to do that, but the feedback light of the game is much brighter than the normal light. I just want to turn off the permanent light changes.

What has happened to Sora's Family?

In Kingdom Hearts, Sora has started his adventure unwanted after the Heartless invaded Destiny Island. He then saves the worlds and Destiny Island is recreated (as seen in Kingdom Hearts II, where Kairi and Selphie are going to school and to the beach, also in the ending sequence of Kingdom hearts and Kingdom Hearts II). When his adventure began, he wanted to create a raft with Riku and Kairi. When the Heartless came, there was a storm, so Sora went to the little Island immediately. **BUT here is the heart of the question: When he went to the island where the raft lies, a woman, presumably his mother called for him. Is this woman related to Sora ever mentioned again?** Kairis relatives were probably swallowed by the Darkness in Radiant Garden. About Rikus family, there is as far as I know never mentioned anything. But Sora has at least one relative, which seems like he doesn't care for them or didn't had any bonds to them (which I can't believe, because he worships friendship so much).

How do I give resources to my teammates, quickly, in Starcraft 2?

Usually, due to my wretched management (or sometimes due to a mass OC strategy), I have a lot of unused minerals. I understand that one of my primary goals is "to keep money low", but sometimes during team games it would be better if I passed 1-2 thousand resources to my teammates, who seem to be better than me. When I open the "Money transfer" window, I can increase the amount of resources to transfer by 50 by clicking on the arrows. This is **very** slow: I could waste 10 seconds clicking those numbers. Is there any way to quickly increase the number of resources to transfer? Thanks a lot.


How can I replay more destruction in Red Faction Guerilla?

I enjoyed playing through the story in Red Faction Guerilla back when it came out but now I'm mostly interested in going back and just laying waste to buildings with explosives and the nanorifle. The game sort of prevents you from doing this in a couple ways: after the story is finished, you can go back and play missions you already completed but buildings don't respawn unless they're specifically part of a mission. If I simply start a new game, I'm left with weapon restrictions and (sigh) no jetpack. How can I go back and have fun destroying buildings again in this game? It doesn't seem like there are any cheats that would let me run around and destroy things - no storyline attached - which is exactly what I want to do. I've got the 360 version and the onlive version, so a solution on either platform will work for me.


Wesnoth tactics for beginner

What basic tactics should I use in Battle for Wesnoth campaigns? Should I focus on leveling up a small number of troops, or should I aim for quantity instead of quality? Or something else entirely?


Are there any handy tricks for ousting insane AI opponents?

Been trying to get the achievement for 'defeat 7 insane AI in a free for all' and it turned out that all the other AI were eliminated by each other, but the last one was just freaking ridiculous. Given that it's AI and not a player the bag of tricks is going to be limited, can you share any experience you have at taking down the insane AI or any exploitable weaknesses you've noticed in how it plays? For instance maybe one race tends to be a little easier to beat than another?


How to make a unit do x then y in Starcraft 2?

In a replay against a Protoss I saw that they were making their units do one task, x, then another task, y, right away without waiting for task x to finish before telling the unit to do task y. So I would they would in a moment setup a line for the unit to task x (build a pylon) then task y (build another pylon). How do I do this?


Is there an alternative method to unlocking story-mode characters?

One of the things I do at my office is murder everyone in MK9. It would be best if I had the maximal amount of characters with which to exact vengeance on my coworkers. However, while we can find 15 minutes for a few quick rounds, playing through the story mode to unlock cyber Sub-Zero and Quan-Chi is not really something we have time for. Is there any sort of cheat I can employ to unlock both of them in a different manner? It's worth pointing out that we hava an XBOX360 at the office, so I'm looking for a solution that would work on that platform.


Which ship in Eve is the most suited for supporting a Dust 514 Merc

I read from here that the only thing that > The only thing that affects the amount of damage done right now is the > number of turrets used to perform the strike. The damage modifier, the > meta/tech level of the turret, and even the type (blasters vs. railgun > f.ex.) do not affect the amount of damage done. In my mind the best ship would be the one with the most turret hard points. **Assuming that I haven't overlooked anything which ship(s) in Eve have the most turret hard points?**


Why is my item drop only 170%

I currently have two durable collector catalogs applied and it is only saying 170% on item drop. I see people have 320% on rare item drop and 500% on normal item drop. Why isn't my item drop the same? What can I do to raise it?

How do I start with smaller/more consistently sized towns?

Normally, the game's map generator creates towns with arbitrary populations starting under 100 and going up to over 2000. I would like to tweak these min/max values to something like 100 and 500. Is there a setting or a newGRF I'm missing that will allow me to do that?

Unable to finish Lost of the Ages

While following a quest, I ended in **Mzulft** where I found the Dwarven Storageroom. Playing as a garbage collector, I cleaned it all, including the Glowing Crystal Shard. Several hours later, after complete the Dawnguard Questline by killing Lord Harkon, I decided to do the sidequests and then I read the book _The Aetherium Wars_ , however the misc quest **Investigate the ruins of Arkngthamz** did not trigger. I searched about an I have seen people with the same problem but they completed, in the way of forge one of the Aetherium equipments, by traveling by their own. I did the same, but Katria's Ghost was not present in any of the locations a Crystal Shard could be taken and, now in **Ruins of Bthalft** , without her Ghost again, I can't activate the **Dwarven Mechanism** to access the Aetherium Forge. More search for possible solutions involving **setstage** and **setquest** console commands, I tried then all, with several different quest stages and nothing happen. Will I stay with this Steam achievement uncompleted?

What is a viable Hydra/Swarm Host/Viper build order?

My favorites units in hots is the swarm host, hydra, and viper together. I have a pretty decent overall strategy, but I don't have a good build order.   1. I tend to do a 13 pool and a early gas when the pool is finished.    2. Then I go for speedlings and early tech.    3. Before starting the Lair I get a second gas, and build hydra den and infestation pit soon as soon as I can support those units in economy.  What is a better build order for this?

Definition of "Macro" as used by Starcraft II players?

What are some suggestions for improving TF2 CPU performance?

A TF2 performance question: Do you guys have any ideas for how to improve TF2 performance? I'm running on a native 1900x1200 monitor and find that the game is really CPU limited. I'm running on a Intel Core 2 Duo E6750 CPU, which is pretty darn good for performance per http://www.anandtech.com/bench/CPU/48 . Also have a new GTX 460 768 MB graphics card. I find that in firefights with a lot of people (the number of people on the server makes a huge difference) my FPS will drop to 10-25 FPS for small but significant periods of time. Things I've tried so far   * Removing all unnecessary startup processes from Windows XP to see if performance would improve    * Buying a new graphics card (a dumb decision, as soon after I realized the game was CPU    * Decreasing the resolution of the game to 1600x1050 with "medium" detail for all the graphical options  None of this stuff seems to seriously help the situation. Do other people run into a similar situation here? I'm seriously thinking of buying another better processor, but its an expensive proposition as I pretty much would buy a completely new rig - CPU/ Mobo/Ram/ HDD, OS (Win 7) etc. Any additional recommendations?


Do companions' weapons degrade in Fallout: New Vegas?

It was claimed in this comment that companions' weapons don't degrade in _Fallout: New Vegas_. Is that true? What about companions' armor? Does the difficulty of the game influence this? What about hardcore mode? This question is _not_ about companions' default items that can't be taken away. It's about items that you add to your companions' inventory manually.


When texture quality is reduced, how is it actually reduced?

I'm no gamer, so excuse my ignorance (you can see that from my other SE accounts :P) Just played Skyrim over a few weeks, and have been more obsessed on the tweaks than the game itself (It's a freakingly customizable game!). I just run a "craptop" on i5-3337U, 4GB RAM. Done a few tweaks here and there and managed ~30FPS _with textures setting still set at "Very High"_. **What does the game actually do when I change the texture quality via the launcher/configurator?**   * Does the game already come with pre-sized textures for each texture level and use them accordingly? Like if I set it to low, it loads all textures from the "low category"?   * Or does it down-scale on-the-fly the hi-res textures the game comes with?      * And if it does do that down-scaling on-the-fly, isn't that a performance hit?


Are there hints for all of Riddler's trophies?

In Arkham City, you can interrogate enemies to get hints (markers on the map) of where to find Riddler's trophies. I've finished the game now, and finished all sidequests, but I still have 6 trophies to find (spread between Park Row and Amusement Mile). Problem is: I've soaring Arkham for a couple of days now and haven't found anyone to interrogate anymore. Therefore I ask, is it normal that there are no hints for the last few trophies? (Am I meant to find them on my own?)   Or should I keep looking for people to interrogate?


Just Cause 2 lost game

After 36 hours progress on Just Cause 2 - I got stuck, so I started a new game. It warned that this would overwrite autosave data but I went ahead and started a new game - does this mean I have totally lost the old game - all that 36 hours progress? Is there any way to bring that old game back - I mean surely the PS3 saves a certain amount of the progress somewhere? Please help!


Ventrilo's Push to Talk not working when playing Star Wars: The Old Republic

Several friends and I are playing Star Wars: The Old Republic. We use my Ventrilo server to chat, and have done so for years in other games (World of Warcraft, League of Legends, etc.) With Star Wars: The Old Republic, two (and only two!) of said friends are having issues with Push to Talk (PTT). For some reason, when the game is focused, their PTT keys no longer work - holding the key down does nothing. The facts:   * If they unfocus the game, PTT works again until they go back in.   * Toggling on/off the "Use Direct Input" option did not change behavior.   * They are both using Fullscreen (Windowed) mode and Windows 7 (as are many of us).   * I do not know precisely which keys they are trying to use for PTT, but I know Middle Mouse was attempted.   * Turning off PTT _does_ work, but they prefer to use PTT.   * Just these 2 of all my friends have the issue, and only with Star Wars: The Old Republic. Has anyone else seen and resolved this issue, or know of good debugging steps to help us resolve it?


I see this listed on the server filters but I don't know what it is. In Multiplayer Battlefield Bad Company 2, what is hardcore mode?

Exchanging identical weapons in Crysis 2

In the Crysis 2 campaign you're given the chance to exchange the weapon you're holding for the same model of weapon whenever you find one. Why is this? Do the weapons wear out, or is there really no point to exchanging, say, one Scarab for another Scarab, for example?


What triggers class leveling in Dungeon Raid?

This question refers to the recent Dungeon Raid update with character classes. I know that "class levels" only come from killing special monsters. But is there a formula for how many special monsters you have to kill to get a trophy? My subjective (i.e. probably wrong) impression is that using Big Game Hunter doesn't help get trophies any faster (though of course it's great for "character levels", especially in conjunction with Masochism).


Is call of duty black ops for PC multiplayer playable

Twelve-grape plate        480    North America (Spanish) and Spain.      Is the item you get determined by your _region_ , your _language_ , or something else entirely? For example, if I'm playing the German cartridge but in English, do I get the Berliner, or the sparkling cider? Given the note about "North America (English)" etc, I would _assume_ that this reward is keyed off the language you're playing the game in. But if that's true, does that mean I can't visit a friend using a different region / language to get their item? (Since my game will still be in English.) Do the U.K. / other European English speakers get sparkling cider or something else? The game is also available in Italian and sold in Italy. What reward do Italians/Italian-speakers get?


Questions about a pivot

I did the tutorial for the pivots and got my first 3 pivots. But if you plant a pivot and another player finds it, what happens to the pivot? Do you lose it forever? Do you have to find it again? Does it change locations? I am a bit worried that I might lose the pivots.


How do I use scorestreaks?

I unlocked a whole bunch of scorestreaks in the past few days, but I have no clue on how to use them. Is there a certain objective you have to accomplish in order to use them, or can they be activated with the press of a certain button? I'm on PS3 by the way.


Do lighters ever run out of fuel?

I've found a ton of lighters, but they don't seem to be one-time use like I expected. Do they ever run out, or should I drop the rest and just start carrying around one?


What do I do with my idol collection?

I have been collecting idols during my runs through the cave, and I just discovered that the list of acquired idols can be viewed on the stats page. There are also different colors (bronze, silver, and gold), which I assume refer to the quality of the idol. Do these idols have any effect on gameplay? Are they used for anything?


How does Pet Battle experience work?

World of Warcraft now has a feature called Pet Battles, which allows you to fight both NPCs and players with your companion pets. I have noticed while doing pet battles that there are various situations where you get more XP (like attacking higher level enemies with a lower level pet) or don't seem to get experience at all (like if your pet dies during the battle, but one of your other pets still wins the battle for you). How does Pet Battle experience work? What conditions provide an experience bonus and under what conditions do you get less experience? Are there any other actions than winning that provide experience for your pets?


How to predict various opponents' attacks?

**Rage-filled Rant** I've recently started playing Risen, and even tho it's an amazing game with good visuals, design, interaction and character development, very often the combat difficulty is bat-shit-crazy. I managed to keep playing untill i've stumbled upon my first giant scorpions, and fighting even one of these (obviously losing) makes me want to ram my head through the wall into the neighbouring appartment and scream like **this**. >:[ I've been playing Monster Hunter a lot, so im used to the type of combat that this game has (dodge/block/create opening, strike, repeat), but as far as I notice, all those swords and maces flying at your face/gut/crotch/knee are lightning fast and the patterns are non-existant. **Question** Is there any way to predict the attacks of one's opponents (so you know when to dodge and parry)? And if it matters, when is it best to use back-step dodge vs side-step dodge vs simple block?


How do I stabilize soldiers?

So I've got a critically wounded soldier lying around. My medic has moved into range, but the med-pack icon remains greayed out. However, I can still select the med-pack and target the soldier, and the tooltip tells me to stabilize the target. However, pressing "Ok" does nothing. I've had this exact situation twice, in different missions. Is that a bug?


As a Pyro, how can I go up against rocket-jumping Soldiers?

As a pyro, I have no idea what to do against a soldier that rocket jumps over my head and rains rockets down from above. For some reason, aiming at very high angles or nearly straight up feels different and strange to me, and I have a hard time tracking and seeing the rockets being fired from above, let alone reflecting them back or hitting the soldier with it. Escaping is nearly impossible if the soldier knows how to air-strafe and I don't happen to be near a door.


What attribute values should I look for in my X-Com Troopers?

Playing X-Com Enemy Unknown, and I have a Heavy with a 30 Will who panics at the drop of a hat, so I know I should probably trash him. Obviously I want troops with high attribute value, but what numerical attribute values should I be looking for in recruits to decide whether to keep or ditch them? Also, how is this decision affected by changes from the Second Wave patch?


Level Requirement and Mana cost of affixes

I recently found a unique item, which had an affix which is also a gem affix. Like all gem affixes, there is a mana cost and a level requirement listed for the gem type.   * Does the item then have an inherent mana cost due to the affix?   * What equivalent gem level does the affix attach to the item (i.e. lvl 1 or item base level?)   * Does the affix level up like a gem? I gave it to a party member so I cannot test it. In this instance: Culling Strike


How exactly does the +1 airjump mechanic work?

When defeating an enemy in mid-air, your character is able to use his/her jump again once more while in the air. I understand that from the tutorial. But now, let's take for example the blue character, he can jump once and then again while in mid-air. If he jumps, then defeats two enemies, how many more times will he be able to use his jump ability before he lands? Just once? Or twice or three times? Also, if our blue character jumps, defeats an enemy and then uses his doublejump ( _in mid-air_ ) and then defeats another enemy( _still in mid-air_ ), how many more 'jumps' does he have left? And how does this work with the purple character, who can jump and then do two more jumps while in air? Sorry for the maybe a little confusing wording of the question...


What is the highest difficulty that can reasonably be soloed?

> **Possible Duplicate:**   >  Will I be able to complete Inferno without a group? I'm not much of a group player in Diablo, having finished both 1 and 2 solo with multiple characters.

Can I use my Infiltrator intel on multiple ME3 campaigns?

I bought _Infiltrator_ to increase my Galactic Readiness and counteract its "decay" since my Internet is too slow for Xbox Live. (I use the Internet at my brother's house from time to time to update my console and to play multiplayer as needed.) I loved the game and got three stars on every chapter, which apparently unlocks a war asset in addition to the intel I gained. I currently have 168 intel and am still playing for fun. Can I use my intel and war assets from _ME:I_ in multiple _ME3_ campaigns? If not, should I spread it out? How does 168 intel convert into Galactic Readiness? What _ME3_ war assets do I get from perfect scores on each chapter in _ME:I_?


Does visiting a random player have any benefit?

In the social menu, you have option of visiting a random player, similar to the "visit" option for friends on your list (assuming you have any). Other than shame and self loathing and the inadequacies of my fledgling dragon park, can I get any benefit from visiting a random park?


What factors affect tile purchase cost?

I know there are some wonders that modify the amount, but what I'm really looking for is information on what factors determine how much each tile costs, since they seem to vary per-tile and over time (and/or if you purchase tiles).


How do subsequent playthroughs work?

In Borderlands 1 the second playthrough had a "playthrough 2.5" once you beat The Destroyer, which changed the game so enemies (and most mission rewards) scaled to your level. Because of this it was best to play only story missions until beating the Destroyer so mission loot would be the best loot possible. How do the playthroughs work in Borderlands 2? I've unlocked True Vault Hunter mode which starts out just like playthrough 2 in BL1, but I don't know if there's a "2.5" equivalent of if it's finally a real third playthrough or what.


Has the level cap been raised to 61?

I have seen an answer which states that the level cap has been raised to 61. Is this correct?


What's the difference between TVHM and UVHM?

A big update hit Borderlands 2 today, and along with adding a new level cap with a bunch of bug/exploit fixes, it added the new mode "Ultimate Vault Hunter Mode". What's the difference between "Ultimate Vault Hunter Mode" and "True Vault Hunter Mode"? Has the level scaling changed anyways? Does it affect item drops in any way? Do I have to restart the storyline?


Explaination of Borderlands 2 One True Vault Hunter Mode

I recently beat Borderlands 2, and moved on to One True Vault Hunter Mode. Even though I googled it, I am still confused about it. If I beat a side quest in normal does it not show up in OTVH? Can I switch between normal and OTVH regularly without any problems? I read that I shouldn't complete any side quests until level 50, but how does that work since don't they drop a gun that is the level the quest is (e.g. a level 40 quest always drops a level 40 weapon even if you're level 60), so it will be the same either way?


Playthrough 2 (TVHM) re-scaling?

> **Possible Duplicate:**   >  How do subsequent playthroughs work? I finished Playthrough 1 at Level 37. Then I (accidentally) went into Playthrough 2 (True Vault Hunter Mode) and barely progressed beyond a few minutes of wandering around. I believe Palythrough 2 would then scale to the same Level 37. Then I went back to Playthrough 1 and killed the Warrior a number of times for loot and then went to the Pirate DLC. Say after I finished all these, I am at Level 41 and then I go into Playthrough 2 (again) for all the missions proper.   * Will Playthrough 2 re-scale to my Level 41?    * If not, will the subsequent missions catch up with my Level 41?  It is pretty boring already and not challenging with the Pirate DLC at Level 30 and not scaling to my Level 37. Thanks in advance for your answers.

What order should I build Frozen Mallet, Atma's Impaler, and Warmog's Armor?

I see the term "Fratmogs" thrown around in League of Legends. What order should these items be built for top lane champions that would utilize them? My opinion:   1. If you are agressive > Atma's Impaler   2. If you are being pressed > Warmog's Armor   3. If you are going for combo jungle ganks > Frozen Mallet


Does Little Steven only appear after fighting Steve?

The first time I defeated Steve, I got a message that said "Little Steven (the item) has appeared in the basement". Since then, I've only ever found Little Steven after defeating the boss Steve.

I can't keep Willis alive (spoiler)

I'm at the point where Willis has repaired the plane, and we are fighting off the remaining attackers. I can't get past it since he gets killed in like five seconds. I don't even have time to set any mines up or place any C4 before we are overwhelmed, and he charges into the open, right into enemy fire. How should I keep him alive? He doesn't seem to have the sense to take cover. I'm playing on "normal" difficulty.


Why can't I sell my Steam Trading Cards?

I have joined the Steam Trading Card Beta group, and have gathered 3 cards from CS:GO and FTL. When I open my inventory and try to click "Sell," the option is greyed-out. It says that since I recently changed my password, I can't use the marketplace until 2013-06-27. However, the current date of me posting this is 2013-06-28, a day after I was supposed to be able to use the marketplace. Why can't I sell my cards? I tried restarting Steam, but to no avail.


How did I get kills without gunship or missile as a commander?

I was getting kills without the gunship or missile deployed. All I remember I had deployed was the EMP UAV, and every few seconds, I was hitting a tank and was gaining points right up until I got 100 points, then I got the kill. How on earth did I kill that poor guy? **Edit**   It seems that the EMP UAV damages tanks too - but not all the time! Hence why I was so confused yet happy when I killed that guy. **Update**   I had this happen again over the weekend, but I was on my iPad when it happened - and I can confirm that I had:   * No gunships deployed   * no EMP or UAV deployed   * On Rogue Transmission   * Just captured point C (Gunship point)   * on my iPad I then lost connection, after the second time it happened, to the server.


There are many items which grant increased magic find (+X% Magic Find), and I'm curious exactly how it works, since it varies from game to game. In some games Magic Find just results in more items dropping, and in others it results in a higher chance for rarer items to drop. How does Magic Find work in Guild Wars 2?


Breeding for Vivillon patterns

**Prerequisites:**   So we know Vivillon's pattern depends on the geographical location set on the 3DS _when the game was started_. Once a save file exists, it will always yield the same Vivillon pattern even if the location on the 3DS is changed or the cartridge is played in a different 3DS. Trading the Scatterbug or Spewpa will retain the pattern, so it's a property set at some point _during the creation of the Pokémon_ that doesn't change when it's traded even before it evolves. **Question:**   Now my question is, when exactly is this property set when the Pokémon is created _through breeding_? Does the pattern depend on the save file the Pokémon was hatched in or is it already set when the Egg is created? **Example:**   I'll add an example to illustrate what I mean:   Let's say my save file yields the **Meadow** pattern and I have a friend whose save file yields the **Continental** pattern. In my game, I breed a Scatterbug, get the Egg, and trade it to said friend. My friend then proceeds to hatch the Egg and evolve the Scatterbug. Will the resulting Vivillon now have the **Meadow** or **Continental** pattern?


What do the 'X', 'I', 'II', etc. options on the main menu do?

On the main menu there are a series of buttons just above "Play" with rather inscrutable labels: ![Screenshot](http://i.stack.imgur.com/7v9kB.jpg) ("Adversity" is my Steam profile name) They light up when I hover over them as if to indicate they are clickable, but none of them do anything.

What happens if two people with the same Battle Tag are on my friends list or in my game?

"Battle tags" are used for identification among Diablo 3 players, and they are not unique. When you pick your battle tag, you are assigned a random 4-digit number to go at the end of it, such as: > EliteD00d#1234 However, on my friends list and when I'm in-game, this suffix is not displayed by default. I'm worried about the potential for a malicious user (or someone with a compromised account) to change their battle tag, either to impersonate me or impersonate one of my friends. Even if you don't believe it to be a security risk, my current understanding of the friend's list indicates that I can't tell 2 people with the same BattleTag apart if I'm looking at my friends list or while we're in game. What happens if in a game or on my friends list there are two people with the same "root" battle tag? How does the game differentiate the two different accounts? * * * This seems to be a confusing question, so let's consider a concrete example: Say I have two friends, both named Bob. They are terrible at picking Battle Tags and they both pick "Bob." For brevity's sake, one is Bob#1 and the other is Bob#2. I give the Bobs my BattleTag, and they both send me friend requests. My experience with the UI thus far seems to indicate I'd get a friend request from both that just reads "Bob wants to be your friend." The #1 or #2 is not present. Further, the number is not shown for my current friends either on my friends list or in-game. I don't specify this number when I send a message or quick- join a game. Say I'm playing with both the Bobs, and we're fighting a hard group of demons. Bob#1 calls out "Hey, I'm in trouble with this group, help!" - on the chat UI, I see               [Bob] Hey, I'm in trouble with this group, help!      How do I know which Bob is about to get smacked down? Say one of the Bobs goes rogue. He decides to impersonate the other Bob and drag his good name through the mud. How do I know which Bob is Evil Bob? In short **if two people on my friends list have the same Battle Tag, how do I tell them apart?**


When players leave in a public game, will new ones ever join?

When playing in a public game, sometimes players leave and I never see anyone new join. Even when a new major quest starts new players won't appear. Do public games have a high entropy rate in the sense that, once a player leaves no new ones will join?


What makes me die?

In Ghost Recon: Future Soldier I've noticed that most of the time that I get shot I'll just fall down, giving my teammates a change to come over and heal me. However, I've also noticed that sometimes I'll just die immediately. What determines which happens? Grenades seem to be very lethal at least.

What references to Diablo II characters exist in Diablo III?

I'm a huge fan of Diablo's lore and was happy to see many of the characters from the original game show up in Diablo III. However, it doesn't seem like there are very many references to Diablo II characters besides the ones in the main questline. So far, I've found: > Warriv's corpse in a random event with a little lore book But not very much else. Are there other allusions and references to, or appearances of, Diablo II characters in Diablo III?


How to find buildings damaged by disaster?

One of the options presented when trying to join a full server is: > Auto-Retry → Alert me when a player slot is available on the server I have, however, never really received any kind of alert from this service. Am I looking in the wrong place? Do I want to use Steam's server browser rather than the ingame one, perhaps?


Is Braid on PS3/PC different in any way? Is there a definitive choice?

gals and things, I'm one of the few poor souls who hasn't played Braid yet. I don't have an xbox so my choices are PS3 or PC. The game came out on both platforms a little while after the xbox version, so I was wondering if the content on all three is the same. Are there extra levels or anything in either of those two versions? Are the graphics different/higher res on PC? Any other notable differences? Also, (this part of the question is more subjective) I don't have a game pad for the PC, so it'd be played on my keyboard. Does it play ok like this or is this enough of a reason to go with the PS3 version? Thanks a bunch! Alex

How do I use utilities in Temple Run?

I saved up my Temple Run coins and bought a utility (specfically, the one that looks sort of like wings, and says "When active, you resurrect immediately after death"). I have played a whole bunch of runs (and died multiple times) but never was able to actually use the utility I bought. What do I have to do to make this utility active, so that I can actually use it (and ressurect)?


How do you beat Talbot in Uncharted 3?

I have already beat Uncharted 3 on Normal and I am trying to do it on Hard. I have gotten to the final boss fight with Talbot and nothing I do seems to work. I can only attack him at the very beginning of the fight. After about 30 seconds of fighting, every time I press square to attack him he puts me in the hold where he holds my arm behind my back and tries to stab me. I press circle as fast and as many times as possible but Nate never bites his arm. Talbot always just throws me out of the hold. This just happens over and over again for sometimes longer than 10 minutes or until I get frustrated and start over. I must be doing something wrong or there is a glitch in the game. Please help me out?


How is skill damage calculated?

This answer to a related question I've asked helped me understand that, given a specific skill, I don't really know what affects its performance. So what I'm looking for is concrete data: given skill X, what affects it. In particular, given skill X,   1. Is it affected by faster cast rate?   2. Is it affected by +knockback?   3. Is it affected by attack speed?   4. Is it affected by weapon damage? And if I'm duel-wielding, from which one?   5. Is it affected by +elemental damage attributes?   6. Is it affected by +% elemental damage attributes? I couldn't find any online data about that.

How does using chewing gum affect gameplay?

In Puzzle Agent, you can use pieces of ABC gum to receive hints to help you solve puzzles. Is there any in-game penalty for this?

Is there any qualitative difference between starships in SWTOR?

How to force Maximized Fullscreen mode in any game?

I have seen several games that have a video display mode that is windowed with no borders, at the same resolution as the desktop. It's sometimes called "Borderless Windowed" mode, or "Maximized Fullscreen" mode. It seems to balance the trade-off between running in fullscreen, and running a game in windowed mode. **Fullscreen vs Windowed**   A game in fullscreen mode fills your screen and is more immersive. Supposedly fullscreen mode provides better performance, but I don't anything about that (nor have I recently observed better performance in fullscreen mode). The most common caveat is that your computer chokes momentarily if you alt-tab to go do something else. Playing in windowed mode allows you to switch to other tasks with no delay, or even multitask. Windowed mode also seems to be better for users using dual displays. In Maximized Fullscreen mode, the game is in windowed mode, but the borders and title bar are removed and the resolution matches your desktop's. In effect, it looks like you're playing in fullscreen mode, but you can still switch to other applications with no delay. Sounds like the best of both worlds to me! ![Left 4 Dead 2 in Windowed \(No Border\) mode](http://i.stack.imgur.com/LyCvX.jpg) Multitasking is great if I happen to be respawning, waiting for a loading screen, or if I need to look up information about the game (like looking up quest info for MMOs). Clicking on the game pushes the other (naughty, immersion breaking) windows and the taskbar into the background, seamlessly filling the full screen. Unfortunately most games don't seem to include this feature yet. For the games that don't, is there a way I can force this mode?


What benefits do I get from replaying missions?

Spiral Knights recently added missions, an award system tied to the missions you complete, and an arbitrary "prestige" value that certain missions award you that may or may not (i.e. some does, some doesn't) bring you one step closer to leveling up. What can I gain from replaying a mission I've already completed? Can I get the mission rewards and the prestige again? Just the prestige? Does it count toward leveling up?


In Act 1 Chapter 2 of Bulletstorm, on the train, where can I find cover?

"Last Train from Explosion Town" I'm up to the point where the flying enemies start coming at you, and I just get cut down every time. I can't find somewhere to cover during this sequence and I've tried it half a dozen times at least. Is there a good strategy I should be aware of? I'm playing on Xbox360 - don't know if that really makes a difference.


How do I perform a double assassination in Assassin's Creed III?

This has really been bugging me throughout the game. In previous games, when you were eligible to assassinate an enemy, it would show you that you need to press the Square button in order to do so. If two enemies were standing near each other, I never seemed to have any problem assassinating both of them at the same time. All you had to do was walk up behind two enemies and it would kill both of them. However, it seems kind of random whether or not a double assassination occurs in Assassin's Creed III. It doesn't tell you when you're eligible to perform an assassination, and I can't seem to figure out why it's not letting me do double assassinations. Following the same patterns I've always utilized in previous games yields an unexpected result - only one of the enemies is killed, and the other starts attacking me. I've only been able to pull off one double assassination in my entire time playing the game so far (out of the around twenty I've attempted) and I have no idea what I did differently that time. How do you perform a double assassination? Am I missing some major component of the game that I'm not realizing? Am I supposed to be aligning myself in some certain way?


Does the Butcher item passive apply to pet and trap damage?

There are a number of champions who can summon pets in League of Legends. When I say pets I mean Malzahar's voidlings, Elise's spiders, Yorick's ghouls, Shaco's clone, etc. Do these creatures also do increased damage if the champion owns an item with the butcher passive? Does a champion's traps also do increased damage when they own a butcher passive? Examples would be Shaco's Jack in the Box, Nidalee's bushwhack (assuming it can trigger on monsters), etc.


Are there ways to reduce "Expansion Disapproval" besides research?

I find that large fractions of my research times are spent trying to cope with planets striking due to obscene population disapproval, in the vicinity of 80% or more. How does Expansion Disapproval work? A brief internet trawl claims that it's a factor directly on the size of your empire above two planets - does that mean that it's possible to have an empire so large that every single planet is on strike?! Or, are there particular actions that increase ED? (No jokes, please!) Does making colony ships from low-pop systems anger them? Does higher population placate them? It just feels like I'm getting railroaded into a race for certain high-tier research because some of my systems are getting so angry about my expansion that they're _starving themselves while striking_. Lolwut.


I can't change the settings on the desktop version of Don't Starve

I've been playing don't starve for a while, and with the last update they added a bloom effect which is a huge decrease in my performance, when near fires my computer drops to 30 FPS or less. There is an option to toggle it, but turning it off then clicking "Apply" makes my monitor go dark, then when it gets back to normal my desktop icons are scattered as if the resolution was made lower, then higher again. I should also point out that dont starve starts at a huge resolution which goes off my screen, trying to change it in the options doesn't work but resizing the window does. I tried changing the options in the .ini file but there's no bloom option there, and changing the resolution values has no effect whatsoever. What can I do to disable the bloom effect and the bad window resolution on start-up?


Is multiple Aegis of Immortal possible in Dota2?

In the _Warcraft3 DotA_ , it is possible to have multiple **Aegis of Immortality** by having killed _Roshan_ and nobody picking up the **Aegis** , thus when _Roshan_ respawns after 10mins it will still be there and there you'll have two Aegis. Is this still possible in Dota2?


What are the 3d analyze settings for Splinter cell chaos theory

I have downloaded _Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory_ , but I am unable to play it. I don't have a graphics card. I managed to play a similar game ( _Sand of Time_ ) using 3D Analyze 2.34, that game too required a graphics card with pixel shader 2.0. **I tried:**   * Force SW intl    * Emulate pixel shader caps    * Skip pixel shader 2.0  `VendorID 4098: deviceid: 20040` Please let me know 3D Analyze settings for _Chaos Theory_


Starcraft 2 Patch 1.1.2

How does the new patch affect the game? What made them increase the hitpoints for the buildings? How did the patch change the void rays? Less cheeze from terran with the new building rules? New Roach range, what advantages do you get? Are there changes to regular strategies because of the new changes? Patch notes: http://us.battle.net/sc2/en/blog/936928#blog

How can I change where strongholds spawn?

Is it possible with Bukkit to change the stronghold generation origin coordinates? The server / community I am part of is migrating to a new map, and we found coordinates where we wish to place our spawn location, but it is very far away from the center map coordinates (0, 0). This means our new spawn will not have any nearby strongholds. Is it possible to modify the Bukkit server configuration, or utilize a world generation plugin, that will allow us to change the stronghold generation center coordinates to where our new spawn location is set?

What is the fastest way to travel long distances in Minecraft?

In Minecraft, I have pretty much emptied the places around my home of resources and thus I need to travel a lot to other mines. I would like to know a fast way to do so. I have tried minecarts on rails (take up a lot of iron, and aren't really that fast), boats and more. I guess I should build some sort of construction. What is the fastest mean of transport you can make in Minecraft (something which is still worth the effort to build, of course)?


How do I mod GLaDOS's voice in Portal 1?

As a pet project, I would like to use the original Portal to introduce people to gaming. However, I live in Italy and Italians are culturally not very comfortable with subtitles (not to mention the fact that subtitle players need to be fast readers, as Italian is on average longer than the equivalent English). So I wanted to change GLaDOS's voice with an Italian version. However, no matter what I do, Portal does not seem to recognize altered audio files. I tried putting them in `%STEAMAPPS%\portal\portal\sound\vo\aperture_ai`, and a few other variations on that structure, and double-checked that files were named exactly like in the GCF, but the game simply ignores them no matter what I try. How can I fix this? Is there a specific format for the WAV files? Is there anywhere I can check out for error messages?


How do you know who you are supposed to defend on?

In MyCareer mode, sometimes a screen is shown showing who you are matched against (and must defend on). However, sometimes that player gets substituted out, or when you enter the game, there's no such hint. Is there a way to access this information from some menu ?

Why do my spells cost the base amount with reduction perks?

I have the appropriate "cast novice spells for have half mana cost" perks and additional armor perks, but spells still cost the base amount of mana. Could this be because I'm a werewolf?


Is timing important during combat?

When fighting monsters does it matter the moment when you press attack? Or should I just press attack buttons as fast as possible in order to maximize the damage output? ![flying monster](http://i.stack.imgur.com/eBxOh.jpg)


I can't delete META-INF

I have been wanting to install mods on Minecraft it looked easy until I had to delete META-INF. When I try to delete it on 7-Zip, it says "not implemented". When I try to do it on WinRAR, it says "file is corrupted". I looked online trying to find a way to delete it but **nothing** works. Lastly, I tried one more thing to delete this file. I literally went through **every** file deleting anything that had to do the smallest amount with Minecraft. Then I went to minecraft.net and re-downloaded Minecraft. After that, I went onto it, tried to delete META-INF, but it **still** did not work!


How to boost up my Steam download speed?

Well, there's a huge difference of speed I get while downloading from the Internet and downloading from Steam. I get like ups and downs speed, which actually most of the time is stuck at 0 bytes/ sec. It suddenly rises up and goes like 90kbps. My peak download rate remains at 300kbps, that too for one second. How do I boost up my speed? I'm from India and I kept the download server location at India, that didn't help. I tried UK, London - and it's giving me the same speed. Any tweaks for this noob?


What does "XXX" Weighted Range influence?

In further understanding advanced map creation i want to know more about the specific parameters that can be set. For each terrain type you have a weighted range with numbers behind it. Also does the mesh size have influence on these setting directly? Do the numbers behind it mean how dominant the type is? So if i put Temperature Weighted Range (0-20) on "NONE" it means there will be no low temperature tiles? This seems to be not working. For volcanism does this mean how high a volcano in an area will grow? In another question i was told that if you put (0-20) and (80-100) on "1" and the rest on "NONE" there will be no volcanism at all (0-20), i guess neither a magma shaft or there WILL be a volcano (80-100). If i put further up a minimal value of 20 then i guess it is of no use to put the weighted range (0-20) of the same type to anything other then none. The FAQ explains so little about all these little settings so i hope Arqade can shed some light on the advanced parameters, expect some more questions about the advanced world generator of Dwarf fortress.


What affects Magic Blockade?

How do Detonation power upgrades work?

My character has 2 biotic powers with a "Detonate" upgrade in their trees. The upgrades are described as increasing the force and damage of biotic detonations by 50%. Will purchasing both give any benefit? Does a "detonate" power upgrade apply to all biotic detonations, ones that were started by the power in question, or ones that were detonated by that power? If they do stack, is the effect additive or multiplicative?


These decision are too hard

> **Possible Duplicate:**   >  What alignment is Action Mode? So, when I was changing some options in the options menu, I noticed something very weird (for a Bioware game at least). Under Options > Narative, there is an option called "Conversation Mode" and it allows you to toggle Full Decisions vs No Decisions. And this piqued my curiosity. If you choose No Decisions, how does the game make the decisions. Most decisions are Paragon vs Renegade, so does it choose what your alignment leans towards, or does it just choose a default set of answers chosen by the developers throughout the game?


What are the pros and cons of selling the ring to either Svea or Harold? (A Fortunate Find)

MW3: Care Package Specialities

In Black Ops, care packages sometimes contained bonuses like the grim reaper or the death machine.

What is the "Good Karma" Choice - Saving Trish or the Doctors?

During the final chapter of the game you have to choose between saving Trish or saving doctors from one of two buildings. The game claims you have enough time only for one or the other. It also presents a karma choice moment. It seems that both choices are technically _good_. I'd think the evil choice would be to have a beer and let both the doctors and Trish dangle to their deaths. If I'm trying to maintain **good karma** as far as the plot is concerned, which choice should I make?


Skyrim freezing while trying to enter Haemar's Shame

For the past hour I've been trying to enter Haemar's Shame so I could complete a Companions Request but it freezes everytime. I'm running Ps3 and have removed old save files. I don't have any idea what the deal is. I have about 120 hours logged and my save file is 13mb. Any ideas?

Can you get away with only completing a third of this puzzle?

I don't have an easy way to test this myself, so I figured I'd ask in case someone else was. Looking at it from a "trying-to-break-the-game" point of view, the rotating bridge puzzle of the Isle of Songs seems like you can only move the outermost part of the bridge into position (if not, maybe just the outermost and the middle) and just dive onto it to get inside. Clearly this would be rather cheap, so I'm wondering if it's possible, and if not, what the game does to stop you.


How does the Bolster effect in Warzones work?

In SWTOR, if you enter a PvP Warzone and are below level 50, your character is automatically "Scaled" to level 50 with a buff called **Bolster** - but how does that work numbers wise? Are you base stats set to level 50 base stats but the equipment doesn't effect it? Do your stats get multipled in a formula, something like newStat = currentStat*(50/currentLevel)? Anyone have the specifics?


Should I repeat the trip to meet Terra with four non-magic users?

After Terra had a lovely meetup with the Phantom Beast, followed by a lovely trip bouncing around the world everywhere, the other 6 playable characters agree to split up ~~because you can't have parties larger than four players~~ to go find her. For this I picked the Mechanic, the Samurai, the Monk and the Rune Knight. I figured that I should bring with me at least one magic user. At the end of the trip, however, the group of four gains the ability to cast magic by touching each one piece of Magicite. This kind of a waste, because the Rune Knight already _can_ do magic. Moreover, the fourth piece of Magicite came at a high price. Talk about unnecessary sacrifice. Should I bother to replay this bit with four non-magic users? Should I actually make this a trip of three people, so that the unnecessary sacrifice doesn't happen to begin with?


What are the specific effects of hidden armor bonuses in Minecraft?

There are four possible general armor enchantments available in Minecraft v1.6.x:   1. **Protection**   2. **Fire Protection**   3. **Blast Protection**   4. **Projectile Protection** As discussed elsewhere, stacking different enchantment levels of these on different pieces of armor can maximize the damage reduction from different damage sources (general, fire, explosions, arrows, etc.). However, wiki sources also mention that Fire Protection additionally reduces the time spent aflame, and Blast Protection reduces the knockback from explosions. Does Projectile Protection reduce the knockback from projectiles? Additionally, does the knockback reduction offered by armor enchantments and the burn time reduction offered by Fire Protection scale with the enchantment levels, and is there a cap? What is a specific explanation of the complete effects afforded by these enchantments, beyond the EPF damage reduction values?


In the Star Wars timeline, when does SW:TOR take place?

The old republic era in general goes from 25,053 BBY to 1000 BBY. But when exactly does the game take place in relation to Episode 1 of the Star Wars Movie Saga? Are any of the movie characters born yet? Is any of that known? I normally listen to cutscenes and read quest text, but I don't recall any information about that and there seem to be no sort of books in the game that explain any background story / lore of the game.

Smithing doesnt go over 100

I have reached 100 Smithing. But when I wear: Ring - "Weapons and armor can be improved 23% better" (self enchanted) Necklace - "Weapons and armor can be improved 23% better" (self enchanted) Gloves - "Weapons and armor can be improved 17% better" My skill still says Smithing = 100. Does this mean the above have no effect?


Where is Rain's tavern located?

Reviving a very old game: I just bought Silver on gog.com, because I wanted to play this classic of my childhood (may or not be a classic of yours). I've killed the giant at the Ice Caves and acquired the Orb of Ice, then proceeded to visit the professor in Gno. He told about a necromancer that has a submarine that will allow travelling to Spires. I remember from playing the game when I was little that there was a tavern in Rain, where there was a old man that knew the password for the bell-locked gate which grants access to lower Rain, however I can't seem to find it. Thanks in advance


DS4 discharging while off

I use the Official PowerA Charging Dock to charge my DS4 controllers (2), it's very close to the PS4. The story so far: I charged my controllers to 100% (~10pm), put my PS4 in standy-by mode (orange light), shutdown my controllers and left Infamous SS downloading. The next day I came to play (~17:30pm) and both controllers were all dead, near 0% battery, how is that possible?


What do the buildings in Google Maps Pokemon do, if anything?

I've just started 'catching them all' on the Google Maps Pokemon challenge, and one of the first things I saw was a building. Clicking on the building just gives the underlying location and an estimated travel time to get there. Do I need to catch more Pokemon first? What does the building do? I'd upload a screenshot but it seems Google Maps doesn't play nice with my screen capture on my phone, it just comes out black.


Do we die when we jump off the edge?

In Bioshock Infinite, when we (Booker) jump off the edges, we respawn immediately and there is some kind of zapping sound also. (This is different than dying when health reaches zero) Is this dying or something else? Is it related with the ending of the game? And is there any advantage of jumping off the edges? Sometimes we can jump to the sky rails and lower floors/buildings but there are places that we can jump off and nowhere to land. And sometimes we cannot jump at all even there is no guard rails.

Stuck at the "You died" screen after being killed by an invader

I'm really not sure what to put it down to, because of the isolated incident it occurred in, so I thought I would see what anyone else can com up with. I was in the Belfrey Luna, going to fight the boss, when a member of the Bell Keeper Covenant invaded. He looked pretty suspicious, enough so that I immediately knew the outcome was going to be bad. Dual-wielding Heide Swords, A crown and no chest armour. The fight went as expected: I lost horribly, but that's when the glitch(?) occurred. After I died, the screen faded, the sound played, but he was never banished and I was stuck staring at a grey-scale screen and the "YOU DIED" never showed. This happened 3 times in about half an hour (same guy invaded 3 times) until I finally gave in and went elsewhere. I was forced to restart the game each time. So what do people think? Glitch? Hack? Or a really bad lag spike?


How can I know in advance how much time will pass during Fast Travel?

I know that time elapses during Fast Travel, and I believe it is generally proportional to the distance being traveled. I'm also aware that time is relatively irrelevant in Skyrim - none of the quests are time-sensitive, but certain things (such as shops) may only be available at certain times of day. So, I'm curious to know if there's any way to tell in advance how much time will pass during my Fast Travel? It would also be interesting to see if the travel time ends up being measured in days, instead of just hours.


Is it possible to play two Steam games at once on the same computer/account?

Why doesn't Flash teleport me through/over walls?

I have done this so many times that I don't even use Flash anymore. I'll be running to a wall or standing near one and I'll just flash into the wall and not go over it. What makes this happen? Is there a target distance on Flash like Corki's Valkyrie or does Flash just not work sometimes? In the description it says it moves target champion towards the direction of the mouse, but why can't I get over the wall half the time?

PS3 games on different systems

So MLB The Show just game out. Me and my dad both enjoy playing it and we buy it every year. Now that I am away at college (I got my own PS3 system) I would like to only buy it once. Can I do this via PSN. In other words, I know that I can download on two machines, but I have seen that you have to be logged in under the same account, and you have to wait at least 24 hours between playing on seperate systems. So an I correct in assuming that we will not be able to play at the same time. If I am playing and he signs in (same account), will I get booted from the game, or just the server? Thanks


In Dwarf Fortress, how do I create a drink-only stockpile and food-only stockpile?

Originally I had a stockpile for food, and it contained a mixture of food and drink items in barrels. I changed it to stop drink being stored there.

How much does the 'Notched Pickaxe' Improve Smithing?

So I found this Easter Egg after reading Notch's (The creator of Minecraft) Twitter. One of the stats is that it improves Smithing, however it does not state by how much.

How can I make a Random Number Generator with vanilla redstone?

I'm working on a game for my Minecraft server that includes the element of chance. The idea is that there are 6 buttons. One of them (randomly determined by redstone circuitry) results in wealth, prizes, etc. The other five result in doom. When you enter the room the doors close initiating the game and beginning the primary circuit which selects which of the 6 buttons is the winning button. How to actually make the circuitry do this is my problem! I've got the door controls, win/lose circuits, and the reset circuit to prepare the room for the next player all worked out, but I'm stumped on how to make redstone do something random. How can I use redstone to choose one of the 6 buttons to be active, randomly?


How long do I need to wait to reconnect to the pokemon bank after it is "locked" due to interrupted communication?

I am receiving the error: > Communication with the server was interrupted during your previous session, > so the server has been locked. Please wait a short while and then try to > connect again. Is there a specific time that the server is discretizing so as to keep me from constantly trying to reconnect? And as a follow up, is this (probably) actually due to a disconnect or is the bank trying to limit my access?

When is the orbit of an asteroid determined?

So I've discovered and started tracking a fair number of asteroids in my short time playing the Asteroid Redirect Mission update. Some of them are completely harmless (at least for now), most have a close fly-by at a safe distance, but a few are projected to impact Kerbin, one in only 56 days. I've got the grappling hook unlocked (obviously playing in career mode), but I'm still missing some of the larger rocket pieces that would be required to mount a successful mission to prevent the impact. So, my question is, have I basically screwed myself by starting to track this asteroid, or would it have always ended up on a collision course, I just would have not known about it?

So, my Bounty Hunter, having achieved a fair amount of Galactic Notoriety after winning the Great Hunt, has received an offer from Adascorp to endorse their new line of experimental Stims. Since the offer had more 0's than Mako could count, I'm going to assume that this is some Pretty Good Stuff, and I'd be crazy not to want to use it myself - after all, I'm selling it, right? So, after meeting with an Adascorp honcho on Quesh and after an... let's call it an _incident_ involving some overly demanding Jedi, I retrieved my compensation for taking on this job and was left with... this. A Prototype Combat Stimulant. I can't use the item, and it only vendors for 500 credits, which, even using TOR's somewhat liberal and heavily level adjusted definition of 'top credits', is a pretty paltry sum at level 36. Is there any use for this item? Is this just another itemization dead end like the Supplies?


Is the 3DS version of "Link's Awakening" identical to the original?

I've heard numerous interviews with Miyamoto stating that he'd love to see Link to the Past on the 3DS with 3D. As well it's my understanding that a few games on the 3DS Virtual Console (Excitebike?) have 3D added into them. Are there any differences between the 3DS version of "Link's Awakening" and the original or DX version? I'm particularly curious if there is 3D in the 3DS version of Link's Awakening.


Are there any important points of no return?

Very often in a game like this, you hit certain landmarks in the plot beyond which a large portion of the content becomes locked out. In Mass Effect 1, there was a sort of dual one when unlocking the Ilos mission (being unable to access the Citadel) and actually going to Ilos (being unable to leave). Mass Effect 2 had a different variant on this, where if you didn't complete pretty much everything you wanted to do before the IFF mission it was impossible to do without causing some unpleasant consequences (and skipping it and heading straight to the endgame to avoid those consequences caused OTHER consequences). Is there any point in Mass Effect 3 like either of these scenarios? Is there some task you should be sure to hold off on until you're ready, or you risk losing access to content? (I'm not looking for a laundry list of things that you can or can't do - a good answer would be a very clearly demarked "Make sure you've done everything you can or want to do before you go do Mission X", if there is such a junction in this game.)


Do I have time to cruise around the galaxy?

> **Possible Duplicate:**   >  Are there any important points of no return?   >  Are there time-limited objectives in the game? In Mass Effect 2, there was a point where you had to abandon doing any more side missions and focus on the main story to avoid serious consequences where half or the entire crew of the Normandy dies if you wait too long to rescue them. However, it was possible to do all side missions and still save everybody if you were careful to delay obtaining the Reaper IFF until all side missions were done. With Earth under attack there is a clear sense of urgency in Mass Effect 3, so I'm wondering if I really have time to go cruising around the galaxy, or if this will have negative consequences in the final outcome. In other words, **if I want to do as many side missions as possible, do I have to be careful to avoid consequences?**


Are there time-limited objectives in the game?

When I left Earth, things were going... poorly. It doesn't seem like I have much time to rally the troops before the situation is completely hopeless. There's precedent in the series for giving you only a certain amount of time to complete objectives. For instance, delaying the completion of the main quest in Mass Effect 2 could potentially cost you squadmates. Are there certain objectives that I must complete within a certain time period to avoid damaging events in the game or harming my ending?


How much of a priority should my Priority missions be?

> **Possible Duplicate:**   >  Are there time-limited objectives in the game? In previous games, except for one mission, the main story missions could wait while side quests were completed with little to no consequences. Is that the case with Mass Effect 3? Obviously, completing side quests will increase Galactic Readiness, but does putting off Priority missions cost me more in the long run? I found this question, but it only pertains to one particular Priority mission.
