What are signature weapons?

I couldn't find any tips among the in-game tutorials about these signature weapons. So what is it ? Is it some kind of overpowered version of other existing weapons ? I'm asking because I couldn't find any equivalent in the other shop's weapons. For instance, the Shredder: > The Shredder is unlocked when you have found 10 Memory Cards. It is a > customized Vektor SMG with a suppressor, extended magazine and optical > sights. Vektor SMG ? It that supposed to be a regular weapon I'm not aware of ? Maybe I haven't found it yet, but then is it normal that this signature weapon gets unlocked ? ![Signature weapon: Shredder](http://i.stack.imgur.com/9Lz33.png) Also, it looks like they come with attachments and custom paint corresponding to your play style. For instance, I'm mostly playing stealthy and I like to paint my guns in red: the 3 signature weapons that popped in the store so far are red and equiped with sound suppressors. Is it just a coincidence ?


Is there a best practice for resolving Block IDs when working with multiple mods?

Ok I'm setting up a Minecraft vanilla server (i.e. Mojang server, not Bukkit) with Red Power 2, Industrial Craft 2 and Build Craft 2.2 Red Power and Industrial Craft work together nicely. However, after installing the BuildCraft mod, I get this server error:               java.lang.RuntimeException: RedPowerCore: BlockID 148 occupied by buildcraft.transport.LegacyBlock, autoAssign is disabled.         at forge.MinecraftForge.killMinecraft(MinecraftForge.java:483)         at eloraam.core.Config.getBlockID(Config.java:114)         at RedPowerControl.initialize(RedPowerControl.java:21)         at mod_RedPowerControl.initialize(mod_RedPowerControl.java:37)         at mod_RedPowerControl.modsLoaded(mod_RedPowerControl.java:18)         at cpw.mods.fml.server.ModLoaderModContainer.postInit(ModLoaderModContainer.java:277)         at cpw.mods.fml.common.Loader.postModInit(Loader.java:236)         at cpw.mods.fml.common.Loader.initializeMods(Loader.java:540)         at cpw.mods.fml.server.FMLServerHandler.onLoadComplete(FMLServerHandler.java:127)         at net.minecraft.server.MinecraftServer.s(MinecraftServer.java:203)         at net.minecraft.server.MinecraftServer.run(MinecraftServer.java:411)         at dn.run(SourceFile:492)      How do I go about resolving this ID block conflict? Is there a good way to do this or a bad way I should avoid? Is solving this a case by case basis? (i.e. different depending on mods) or is there a file I edit every time to fix this? Thanks in advance.


How to move faster in Terraria?

Is it possible move faster in Terraria? I mean, when you are very deep in the underground is it possible returning to the surface faster, using elevator, for example, or other things? Or when you need to move from the left edge of the world to the right edge?


Minecraft 1.1 and odd boat behavior?

I rarely use boats at all, so I am a bit unfamiliar with them. However, I decided to try out some boat contraptions, and I noticed some really odd behavior. I assumed this was just Minecraft being Minecraft, but it seems that these oddities should not be happening.   1. Boats seem to be blocked by non-solid blocks, like signs.   2. Water elevators seem to (to some extent) work again. This certainly seems... abnormal. This was tested on Minecraft 1.1 only, so I don't know if any of these bugs were apparent in 1.0, but I don't think they were. Could anyone confirm that these bugs are in fact present in 1.1 and that they were not present in 1.0?

What is the best way to detect covered/hidden units in an enemy city?

The problem is that my invading naval force tries to defend my attacking "marines", however, sometimes an enemy destroyer pops out from no where and kills the unit. This had perplexed me on occasion as to how this could happen. Especially since I utilize a defence with my navy where the only gaps would cause the enemy unit to move past my defence in an adjacent fashion, thus losing any remaining moves. I have since worked out that the unit usually is within the city I am attacking and that I cannot see it because they are hidden/covered by a land unit in the city. What is the best way to see the destroyer or any other units in the city when the rule of having multiple units on a hex is allowed?


Can Spyro from the Skylanders Nintendo 3ds starter pack work on the PS3 platform?

I'm getting my grandson started on Skylanders for Christmas & know nothing about the story/game. I bought Giants & want to give him the Spyro figurine (which I'm having a hard time finding without also buying the Spyro's Adventure starter pack), but so far I have only found it from the Nintendo 3DS starter pack. Will he work on a PS3 platform or are the figurines platform specific?

How in the Hell do I get through Hell?

I can't get through the waves of Demons at the start of Hell. I think I've managed it once with two invulnerability potions and an exceptionally lucky formation of demons that spawned randomly. I don't think I can count on that, which means there must be some easier way to get through all of this, especially after failing 25 times. For reference, I'm using a Sword of Summoning (lvl 9), I have the Magic Horn and Plate Armor, and have 355 HP from having eaten more candy than an entire city of 9 year olds on November 1st. What am I missing?


Is Edda the beggar supposed to take things?

In Riften I dropped some old armour on the floor by mistake on the outside of the low wall around the market and the beggar Edda came round and asked if I didn’t want it could she have it. I said she could have it, but she didn’t take it. I came back after entering some shops and it was still there and she was back in her sitting position so I picked it up again. Is she supposed to take the item has anyone seen this I then tried again by dropping the armour right in front of her and all hell broke loose with vendors fighting each other with shouts of I saw it first, with knives flashing and everything. No one got killed but I have them all set to essential.

How do I become a Thane?

If you want to buy a house in Skyrim, you need to become a Thane. Whiterun's Thanehood comes with the first parts of the main quest and is relatively straight forward to get, but I've been having trouble attaining Thanehood in the other cities. How do I become a Thane in Solitude, Windhelm, Riften, and Markarth? Are there specific quests that need to be done to earn it? (Like in Whiterun?)


What is the difference between magic resistance and the elemental resistances?

There are several kinds of resistances in Skyrim: magic resistance, flame resistance, frost resistance and shock resistance. Is the magic resistance essentially just resistance to all three elements, or are there magic damage types besides those three? And are all sources of flame, frost and shock magic damage, or are there non-magical sources of elemental damage?


Clicking on minimap causes strange behavior

I had to reinstall broodwar on my dad's computer. The game has exhibited some very strange behaviors. First of all, the game randomly minimizes when i click in the lower right corner. Secondly, whenever I click on minimap, it doesn't go to the correct place. Instead, it takes me to the lowermost part. I know this is the Starcraft 2 minimap but it shows perfectly what I'm trying to demonstrate. For example, when I would click in the middle of the map it would take me to the mid-bottom. If i clicked top right it would take me bottom right and so on. Has anybody else ever experienced this?? ![what would happen if i clicked in the middle of the map](http://i.stack.imgur.com/ecQO9.jpg) I'm working on a desktop with a Windows 7. Turning off the Windows Explorer process does not help anything.


Catch fish with fishing stick in Twlight Princess Wii

How do I catch fish with that fishing stick in Twlight Princess? I need it at the beginning and just before the mountain and it always takes me 10+minutes to catch ONE fish. I have difficulty getting the FISH ON text to appear. If it helps i do notice I can hold the remote to be have the stick gfx on the right side at the bottom, higher/near top then any higher on the remote will take it out of the water. Every tutorial says wait for the green to go underwater and raise the Wii remote. I do it and my rod goes out of the water. Then I do it so its just higher and either way I dont catch the fish. This is frustrating. I dont need to catch fish anymore but if I ever restart the game I will so I may come back to this as reference.


What is the proc rate of the special ability on Pauldrons of the Skeleton King

There is a special legendary shoulder called Pauldrons of the Skeleton King that has a chance to drop from Act 1 bounty bags. The special secondary on these shoulders reads: "When receiving fatal damage, there is a chance that you are instead restored to 25% of maximum Life and cause nearby enemies to flee in fear." Since I play a hardcore character, this special ability piqued my interest. However, it would be nice to know how good the odds are of this item saving a character from death.


Which postcard is needed for the achievement "Shoplifting"?

There is an achievement in _The Cave_ called "Shoplifting". The achievement text says: > Saw a postcard stolen from the Gift Shop. I assumed it meant the postcard you could pick up from the Postcard Display next to the Gift Shop Clerk. ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/3qtNV.png) However, I took the postcard from said display, carried it around with me for quite a while, and never got the achievement. This leads me to believe I either **a)** did something incorrectly, or **2)** mistook this postcard for one later in the game. **How do I get the Shoplifting achievement?**


What are the immediate benefits of choosing Ra, and how do I play to his strengths late-game?

I've just picked up Age of Mythology after a long time of not playing it, and the last time I played it I tended to just play against the computer and launch earthquakes everywhere :P. However I've got a couple of friends who are also going to pick it up, and we're going to have a LAN day in a couple of weeks time. I've played around a bit and I feel like I'm competent enough to hold my own as a generic Egyptian, but I'd like to specialise and learn a few tricks, what unit combos work together, which sub-gods to choose, that sort of thing. Now I've played my friends in other RTSs before, most notably Starcraft 1 and Dawn of War, and they tend to turtle and go for power-units late game (we're all pretty ~~noob~~ casual) So, What is a good build path for Ra?

Why are my Kethane tanks not filling?

I've been playing around with the Kethane resource mod, and I believe I've met the requirements to be able to extract Kethane from Mun. I've deployed satellites around Mun, in a rather nice fashion, if I do say so myself: ![My Satellite Network](http://i.stack.imgur.com/he8t9.png) After I had scanned the area, I landed my miner in a dense concentration of Kethane deposits: ![My Miner Location](http://i.stack.imgur.com/OD5R4.png) So far, so good. The landing was a bit rocky, but it survived intact. I deployed my drills, but they're not gathering Kethane: ![Miner deployed and drilling, but not extracting resources](http://i.stack.imgur.com/p8EKI.png) According to the Kethane Fuel Routing thread, the fuel tanks work just like Monopropellant; they don't need fuel lines. As long as a drill is attached to the same entity as Kethane fuel tanks, they'll be filled. So what am I missing here? Why can't I gather Kethane?

How do I write better worlds using Mystcraft?

I've got a basic grasp of how to use the pages found in forgotten libraries to spawn decent worlds, but is there a particular method to structuring the pages? For example, I have a page that specifies a block type, how can I use that in world generation? Do I need certain pages in a book to spawn stable worlds?


PS3 issues following YLOD fix -- what now?

I have a PS3 that recently YLOD'd. I followed djwhetzel's youtube videos to remedy the YLOD. The fix worked, for a couple minutes. Now, the screen goes crazy, showing really bad video, as in something is wrong w/ the video processor. The system locks, and I can only shut it down using the power switch. Anytime I start it back up, it attempts to start, no YLOD/blinking red light, but the video is corrupt and the system is locked (doesn't respond to any input at all, including the power switch). I had already purchased a new PS3, in hopes to pull the data off the YLOD'd one and then trash it. But now I'm not sure I'll even be able to do that. So my questions: 1) Any idea what the new issue is, and if it is fixable? 2) If it is not fixable by me, is it fixable by Sony or some other service? 3) Is there any way I can get my saved data off of there if I'm unable to get the original system to boot? I'm afraid the answer here is "no", but it really drives me crazy that the HD is perfectly fine and my saved data is completely in tact, and I have a perfectly new PS3, with absolutely no way to get the saved data from that HD to my new one. **UPDATE:** Upon more digging, it sounds like my GPU may be overheating, possibly due to a poor job on my part of applying thermal compound -- is this a possibility? If so, have I permanently fried my GPU, or can I possibly fix this by reapplying the compound? What may I have done wrong to have caused this?


Cut scenes and dialogue lines always end prematurely

All my cut scenes and conversations in the single player HotS end about half a second too soon. For example, during dialogues, person B starts talking while person A is still speaking out his last word from the previous sentence. Cut scenes also end prematurely, as I can tell from the background music, and sometimes the last word of the speech, being cut. This is really annoying. Is there anyone else experiencing the same problem? How can I fix it?

Can I have my zombie dogs keep closer by?

As a witch doctor, zombie dogs are without a doubt invaluable at the beginning of the game. The problem is that the zombie dogs lash out at anything they set their eyes on, often aggravating more monsters than I bargained for. Is there any way to have the zombie dogs stay closer to me, or perhaps there is some way to make them less aggressive?


World in Conflict vs. World in Conflict: Soviet Assault

I recently bought World in Conflict on Steam during the Ubisoft sale. I'm not sure if I bought a special edition or something, but it cam ewith World in Conflict: Soviet Assault. When I try to play the regular World in Conflict, it brings up a launcher that says "World in Conflict: Soviet Assault". The same thing happens when I play World in Conflict: Soviet Assault. It also says that I've never played the regular World in Conflict. What I'm wondering is if Soviet Assault is just an expansion and when I play either I'm actually playing both

When do Dye Merchants change their inventory?

So, as per Where can I find specific dye colors? it seems that dye colors are somewhat random as to where you find them. In Act II, I was able to buy acquatic dye and spring dye from the merchant to the right of the entrance to the palace (the one with the pipe). I am creating a set of armor that is colored teal with some spring green accents, and I bought 3 spring dyes from him over the past few trips I've made to town. However, now it seems that he no longer stocks the spring dye. Is this temporary? Will it come back? As a corollary, what is the determining factor for when merchants cycle their goods? Every time I come to town? Once an hour? Once every set of small bosses I defeat?

Skyrim CTD during intro sequence after clean install

After experiencing some problems with Skyrim and my mod loadout after installing Dragonborn, I figured the easiest way to fix everything would be to start from scratch, so I uninstalled Skyrim (and manually deleted the left over files). I then proceeded to re-download and install Skyrim, Dawnguard, Hearthfire and Dragonborn, and the Hi Res texture packs - all official Bethesda content, no mods. I can get into the game, and start a new game, but after about 10 seconds on that darned cart, the game crashes. I'm fairly certain all my drivers and whatnot are up to date, and my computer is enough to handle Skyrim no problem. Any suggestions? EDIT: After deactivating the high resolution DLC and unofficial patch, I was able to play for about half an hour before it crashed.


Why is my Raised Zombie glowing green?

I love my raised zombies, but I'm getting worried for their health. Recently, one of them started glowing green for no apparent reason. It wasn't especially damaged, nor under any special effect (poison, ice, fire, ...). The effect lasted until it got killed. ![raised zombie glowing green](http://i.stack.imgur.com/5v3Tm.jpg)


Does Healing Burst heal enemy crew?

It says it 'heals all friendly crew in the room' and 'can target your own ship'. Now I would _assume_ that the specification of _friendly_ would mean I could board an enemy ship, and use this weapon to heal my assault team **during battle** _without_ healing the enemy crewmembers. I have no ships with a transporter to test this. Am I correct in my assumption?


Why can't I get a pwnhammer?

So.. I spent a good week and a half playing terraria on my android and met with some friends to join me. We finally managed to get to the Wall of Flesh, and me and my friends died quite a few times.

Can I turn specific weapon on auto fire without forcing all of my weapons to do so?

If I have 3 weapons on my ship, lets say an Artemis Missile, an Ion Blast, and a Pike Beam, can I have my Ion Blast on auto-fire at their shields, and then use the beam and missiles without them picking up the auto-fire command as well? I'm aware I can manually shoot once and then turn off the next shot, but I'm looking for an alternative as sometimes I get distracted and forget, ensuingly wasting a volley oppourtunity.


Is minor overheating a problem for my engines?

Some engines like the Mainsail tend to always overheat when at full throttle, so I just set the throttle a bit lower. But I was wondering what the effect of minor overheating is, and how far I can push the engine before seeing any effects. Is overheating damage a binary result? So either the overheating bar is full and the engine explodes or the bar is not full an nothing happens? Or is there gradual damage?

Why does the Commando 553 rifle's Tactical Stock mod give a -1 penalty to Concealment and give no bonuses?

What causes the Tactical Stock mod for the Commando 553 rifle to show up as giving a -1 to the Concealment stat and give no bonuses? Don't weapon mods (except sights) give at least 1 bonus to a weapon stat? This is the only non- sight weapon mod I've noticed that gives a penalty and doesn't give a bonus to a stat. Is this mod purely for aesthetics only? ![Tactical Stock mod for the Commando 553 rifle image](http://i.stack.imgur.com/KmmhC.jpg) A post in the Reddit /r/paydaytheheist subreddit suggests that it increases a hidden stat. Can anyone confirm or deny?

I tried changing some of the mods, but it seems this does not affect the penalties of the Tactical Stock mod.

Heartfire House Freeze Glitch

Now I've built all 3 houses in Hearthfire and I have moved into one, Lakeview Manor, with my wife and adopted kids. But there is one problem, every time I add something to chests, wardrobes, drawers etc. the game freezes after a little while, and depending on how much I've put in I wont be able to go back into the house for a few days, maybe even a week, because it still freezes. The whole game, making me turn off my xbox. It's fine if I don't put anything in, I can come and go as I please.   * Why does it do that?   * Is there a way to stop it doing that?   * Does anyone else have this same problem? Or is it the task of simply putting up with it?   * Oh and I have giants, bandits and dragons attacking now and then, is that normal? Not forgetting the dead dragon forever spawning at my house, half fallen through the ground, maybe that's causing a glitch?


Clarification on conversations about resistances

I have a query as a result of reading your questions and answers regarding resistances and armour for Diablo 3. When you state (for example) 700 resistance, do you mean 700 total resistance or 700 resistance for each different resistance?


Where can I find a list of all 3DS titles available in the 3DS eShop?

I am planning to get a 3DS, and wanted to know what sort of games are up on the 3DS eShop. I tried checking the Nintendo website, but it only shows a list of "featured" titles, not the entire shop catalog. I assume they want you to look using the device itself (and thereby hopefully buy a game or two) For those of us without a 3DS, is this information available elsewhere?

Can the creepy ambience sounds be disabled?

In Minecraft, when you are nearby a large unlit area (underground caves, dungeons, etc), you hear ambient sounds, many of which are very unsettling and all of which sound unnatural. These can be particularly nerve-wracking when playing alone on a multiplayer server and trying not to be found by enemy players. Is there any way to disable these sounds, or at least modify them to sound less frightening?

How much can I improve the Nightingale Bow?

I have the perks from the heavy armor side of smithing, and I currently improved my Nightingale bow to Flawless, inflicting 75 damage. I would like to improve it higher. Everyone talks about how armor can be improved infinitely using the Alchemy- Enchant-Smithing loop (thus it's possible to have hide armor that's as strong as dragonscale). Is it also possible to improve weapons like this? I really like this bow, but it would be a tough choice if I cannot improve it higher/equivalent to a legendary daedric bow (The enchants on it are not too bad either.)


How do I power Redstone through a block?

When do drops reset?

For TF2 the 'drop reset' is claimed to be Thursday at GMT 00:00. Assuming that they are both Valve/Source games it could be the same time for drop reset - but I don't know that this is the case. Can anyone confirm that it is the same, or if not, what time does the reset happen for CS: GO?


What are the difference between tanks from different countries?

I want to find out what the difference between defensive and offensive "specializations" of tanks in the various trees are. Something like (and this is what I heard a friend mention) "German tanks are heavier armored and have precise guns, French are just bulky and Russians have fast tanks). Basically, where do I go if I want a hard-hitting Destroyer, an Arty that aims the fastest, or the fastest light tank (among other questions)?


How do I unlock more planets?

After finishing the initial tutorial I have Mercury, Venus, and Earth. Randomly one day the Void then showed up with a single survival mission. I have achievements for saving Uranus(heh) and Sedna, but I can't go to those planets as they aren't on my navigation map. I am now level 11 (on the upwards end of all planets unlocked so far), yet no more planets have showed up for me to go to? How do I unlock them? EDIT: I should add I'm on the XB1 version, which is on a different build than PC... so rules may be different.


How can I keep my Embermage alive?

The Embermage class, unlike the other three available classes in Torchlight 2, seems to lack any decent defensive spells:   * **Death's Bounty** is arguably the most useful defensive spell, allowing you to recoup health and mana from enemies under this spell's effect   * **Immolation Aura** can absorb 5%, 10%, or 15% damage based on the tier   * **Elemental Boon** boosts elemental resistances   * **Prismatic Rift** will randomly teleport enemies away when they hit Other than these, I don't see any other spells that help my character stay alive. So my question is simple: **what's the best way to keep an Embermage alive?** Is having the best offense the only option for this class? I've found that Embermages can have a tough time in acts 3 and 4, especially in large mob situations (one-shot kills seem to be a staple of this class, at least in my experience). What are some tips to keep my Embermage alive and well?


What is called "maximum carry weight" in the formula for strength advancement

In an answer to "How do soldiers increase their attributes?"[1] there is the following sentence: > Strength (20): Points are given when soldier moves one tile while carrying > more than 80% of its maximum carry weight. What is called the "maximum carry weight" here? Is it the weight a soldier can carry without a TU penalty or is it the total maximum weight, like when the weight bar is full (not sure what the TU penalty would be then).

Does this mean that I have to go to the camera and _actually_ merge faces? Or do I continue collecting faces like the game asks me to?

I'm afraid that throughout the course of my game I have taken some actions which may prevent me from obtaining a TM. Is it possible for this to happen, or is it always possible to acquire every TM?


Do achievements/awards give any reward?

In World of Tanks, you receive rewards, accolades, achievements, etc during games where you perform well. For example, you will earn Top Gun if you get at least 6 kills in a single game. My question is do these rewards give you any boost in XP/credits, or are they simple "ego-boosters"? if there is a chart/database somewhere on how much these awards actually earn you(seeing as there is quite a bit)... that'd be great too (I couldn't find one)


Does GTA V's main campaign have full coop play?

I haven't played GTA V yet, but there were a lot of rumors that the main campaign would possibly have full coop play. But when I search for GTA V and Coop campaign, I mostly get articles on how it's probably coming or GTA online. Does GTA V allow the main campaign to be played coop?


Is it possible to transfer characters between Steam accounts?

A little backstory, I am utilising the Steam Family Sharing functionality to essentially create a new Steam account with all of my current games on it. I have played Payday 2 extensively and reached level 100 with a whole variety of weapons, gadgets and stuff to blow people up. As a result of playing Payday 2 via the Steam Family Sharing functionality my character is not present - if I play using the original account it's all there and safe. I copied the contents of Steam\userdata\profileID\218620 to the new profileID folder for the new account, however upon starting the game I get the following error: ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/dVce9.jpg) Is it possible to transfer characters between Steam accounts so I can keep my character or am I going to have to start again?


How do I get to the place of power that Cecil Burdon mentioned?

I've been playing this game for a few hours now and I got to the point where I need to find a place of power. Cecil Burdon mentioned a place in a forest where a witch used to live. I got to the place but it's on top of a cliff. I went all over around it but I can't see to find any way of getting up there. Does anybody know how to get up there ? Thank you in advance for your reply


What do the golden puzzle pieces you get from the goat herder do?

In Nitrome's latest Icebreaker game for iOS, there is a goat herder in some levels. If you manage to move all of the goats in those levels into his boat, you get a **golden puzzle piece** that moves to the top of the screen and stays there. Once you've completed the level, there is **no sign** that you ever collected one. Is there any way to see **the number of puzzle pieces** you have collected? Is there **a certain use for them** , perhaps later in the game? They just seem to disappear.


Where do I find Odrin?

In Chapter 2 of The Witcher 2, I've been tasked with finding a drunk man named Odrin by a few other drunk people. Normally this wouldn't be very high on my priority list, only, well... **They won't shut up about him.** Everywhere I go around camp and everything I do, be it fighting in a tournament, arm-wrestling the mercs for cash or discussing difficult politics with political people, I hear them shouting his name. It's really ruining the mood. > Ooooooooooodriiiiiiiiiiiiin, where are yooooooou? But seriously, where is he?


Is your Hall of Fallen Heroes public?

Is your Hall of Fallen Heroes public at all? Is it possible to look at other people's heroes and admire them? Or is it entirely for your own records and memories?


Player Character Lore

I'm almost finished with one play-through of the game, and I'm pretty depressed at the lack of lore concerning my character. I'm playing a demon hunter, and he keeps hinting at how his entire family was murdered by demons, and how he's been ruthlessly hunting them down ever since. They also hint that he is one of the nephalem, without much explanation there. The only other thing I've learned is that he traveled through the Dreadlands once. For an RPG that forces the way you look and act, I feel pretty disconnected from the person I'm pretending to be. Is there any more lore on player characters throughout the game that I either missed or haven't discovered yet? Or is it something I'll just have to make up on my own?


How was the cow level discovered?

Does anyone know how was the cow level discovered? I don't think the instructions were in the game guide. Was it hinted through either the game or the lore of Diablo 2? How did people figure out that you had to use a Tome of Town Portal and Wirt's PegLeg in the Horadric cube?


Blurry writings with Xbox

I bought an Xbox 360 more or less recently and I feel like I have trouble reading any kind of writing on the screen, and my eyesight is fine (at least with my glasses on) so I highly doubt that is the problem. I've seen the same problem occurring on what you'd call normal-sized font (for quests, tutorial, subtitles, etc.) in Assassin's Creed, Just Cause 2 and Splinter Cell Conviction. I'm playing on a rather old (~10 year) 51" television. Is it possible that it is too old for the Xbox and its rather high resolution? I tried fiddling with my TV settings, but nothing I did really helped. I have had no such problem with my Wii or, formerly, my GameCube, but they both have much lower video capacity.


What is the use of the Pilot's Armor in SW:TOR?

After buying and subscribing to Star Wars - The Old Republic, I received multiple packages with Pilot's Armor. What is the use of this Armor and why is it called Adaptive Armor? Is it of any use for me as Juggernaut? Does wearing it give me any benefit in a space battle? As far as I can see, it is less useful than my current, Medium Armor. (Didn't replace it yet with Heavy Armor) ![Armor in Inventory](http://i.stack.imgur.com/wBRTc.png) ![Armor Stats Example](http://i.stack.imgur.com/687je.png)


Can I run an SNES emulator without it having input focus?

I'm trying to let someone play an emulator on another monitor while I use my computer normally on the main monitor. I need to set up an emulator for SNES that will continue the emulation and accept joypad input even when the window doesn't have focus. Numerous emulators for other systems allow me to do this, but at least trying zsnes and snes9x I can't do this. I found a modified version of snes9x that sort of works, but the sound is a little iffy in game and when the game loses focus sound stops entirely. zsnes will run by default when it loses focus, but I can't move it to the other monitor, and taking focus away means it won't accept input.


Dawnguard DLC disappears after turning off Xbox

I have been playing Dawnguard for awhile now and I got up to the mission where you get the dragon Elder Scroll. After I got it I saved, turned off my xbox and went to bed. When I got up next morning my dlc was gone but I still had the scroll... I reinstalled it but now I can't even get the guard to tell me about the Dawnguard or talk to anybody inside the fort. Anybody got any ideas how to fix this problem?


How do I tell how many items I have in my inventory?

With the 1.12.5 update to ingress the inventory is now capped at 2000 items. How can I tell how many items are in my inventory? Under ops I can pretty easily add up the resonators and xmps, but keys are a little more tedious. I'm hoping there's somewhere to easily find the count of all these items.


Which does more damage - Floor Spikes or Wall Blades?

I'm working on a particularly tough level and I only get to choose a few Defenses. For a long long hallway, do Floor Spikes do more damage to the Heroes than Wall Blades?


What are the differences between Reimu's Spell Cards?

In _Touhou: the Embodiment of Scarlet Devil_ , I've so far been using Reimu and her Spell Card "Fantasy Seal" with the "Homing Amulet" sub-weapon. I admit I've become a little spoiled using the Homing Amulet, because it, well, auto- homes in on the enemies, which is pretty handy. What advantages does using the Spell Card "Evil Sealing Circle" with the "Persuasion Needle" sub-weapon have over the Homing Amulet? Does it the Persuasion Needle do more DPS than the Homing Amulet? Why would I want to choose that over a weapon that auto-homes in on the enemies? I admit that I don't use my bombs very often, so I'm entirely unsure of the differences between the bomb effects of the two cards.


Does the Wii still corrupt 1019 GameCube memory cards?

I just bought Eternal Darkness and intend to play it on my Wii. I apparently need a GameCube controller and memory card, so I've done some shopping for a Wavebird (man, they're expensive!) and memory card. A quick search reveals that many people have seen their Wii corrupt all their data stored on 1019 GameCube memory cards. Is this still the case? Should I just buy a 251 memory card and call it a wrap?


How do I beat Endurance levels?

I have a lot of trouble with endurance. I usually go down around wave 50 on the early levels. How can I improve my strategy to reach the higher waves? I keep upgrading my towers and the monsters die with ease, but it seems like all of a sudden the waves are really hard and my towers can't put a dent in their HP. Some questions:   * Are prismatic gems worth it compared to bi-colored gems around wave 50ish?   * Can you give any tips on when/how often to manna pool, for example "x1 time per wave" ?   * Are many lower grade gems better than a few higher grade gems around this wave?   * Are level 7 and above grade gems worth it, damage and price wise?   * I notice that when I replay an endurance level, my exp doesn't go up?   * Any other tips you can give for mid(?)-game endurance levels?


How can I stitch Minecraft worlds together?

I visit a Minecraft survival multiplayer server. When monsters were added to SMP, the server archived the map and started afresh. When 1.8 is released, the server operator plants to do the same again. I'd like to merge the old maps into locations the new map, at distant locations. Does a tool exist to stitch together entire maps like that?


What do the sub-weapon categories like "Spirit" and "Dream" mean?

In _Touhou: the Embodiment of Scarlet Devil_ , for each of the Spell Cards, there is a property next to each of the sub-weapons. For example, Reimu's "Homing Amulet" and "Persuasion Needle" list "Spirit" and "Dream" next to them respectively. Marisa's "Magic Missile" is "Magic" while her "Illusion Laser" is... "Love"? Are these properties by which the sub-weapon is stronger against certain enemy types? Or are they simply for flavor?


How often can the templar heal?

Running around as a demon hunter, my templar is the perfect complement. He's definitely saved my life more than once with his heal ability. However, there have been times where he hasn't done it as I run around waiting for it to happen. Normally, this happens if he recently healed me (so I assume there's a cooldown on the heal). But I've also noticed that sometimes he heals me twice in quick succession, which makes me doubt that. Does anyone know what the limiting factors are on when and how often your templar will heal you?


Don't Starve getting VERY Choppy framerate

All right, let me tell you what I know so far.   1. Enabling Vsync and Triple Buffering may help, but my AMD VISION menu doesn't allow me to do that.   2. This game played PERFECTLY on this laptop before, but suddenly started becoming choppy.   3. My video card isn't bad, other games work fine (With the exception of TF2 which gets the same framerate)   4. I don't have a virus.   5. My specs are:      * Processor: AMD E2-1800 APU with Radeon HD graphics 1.70 GHz     * RAM: 4.00 GB     * OS: 64-bit Windows 8 Someone please help. I've been everywhere.

Can a disloyal Miranda survive the suicide mission?

As indicated by multiple questions all over the intertubes and also on our site it is difficult to keep the loyalty of both Miranda and Jack. Given my chaotic good play style I've accepted that my paragon level will not reach a sufficient value to regain Miranda's loyalty. Since the rest of my team is loyal is there a way to ensure a disloyal Miranda survives the suicide mission?


Is there errata available for the Infinite Undiscovery BradyGames guide?

Via reviews, it appears that there are issues with the official strategy guide. I've run into a few minor ones, but just read about a missing side quest (Michelle's Lover in Nolaan) and private event. Is there errata, official or otherwise, for the official guide?


Can dual wielding be an effective strategy?

Every time I attempt dual wield weapons it doesn't go very well. I find it impossible to defend myself, especially when there is no way of lessening the blow of an incoming power attack. The extra damage output you can get from dual wielding weapons just doesn't seem worth the extra vulnerability to me, although I don't know if this is because of my play style. So I guess what I am asking is, is there a way to make dual-wielding an effective strategy for the core combat spec of a character? Or is it merely something that's a fun little add on to play around with every now and again?


When should the jungler leave the kills to the lanemate?

When ganking my lanes in the laning phase of the game, when should I leave the kill to the lanemate (assuming the kill is safe and the enemy won't get away)? There are some junglers, like Alistar, with whom I always leave the kills to them (since Ali Ganks live from the CC and not the dmg), but what about more DPS like Junlgers like Nocturne for example?


Second Quest in Legend of Zelda for the Wii

Why are my remote ships being attacked by seemingly neutral Terran ships in war (red on the map) sectors?

I have a great reputation with Terrans, though I have at one point damaged my reputation with them nearly beyond repair. Now, I quite often see my ships being attacked by Terran ships in war (shown as red on the Universe map) sectors, and whenever I open the sector map via the attacked ship's menu, I see a red, hostile Terran ship. When I enter the sector, no hostile Terrans are to be seen. Sometimes my ship manages to destroy the attacker, leading to reputation loss for me, sometimes it gets destroyed, which is even worse. It almost seems the AI has become quite a bit smarter and more vindictive, but that is implausible. What's the reason behind these sneak attacks on my property? When I'm looking at the map while out of sector, entering the ship's information menu turns it blue for several seconds until it reverts to red. I've managed to track one of those red Terrans by its registration number and the captain was perfectly cordial with me. Sometimes the attacking ships will be blue on approach, but turn red as soon as they engage my ship; though after I jump in they turn blue again. Even my satellites are getting destroyed by them, despite there being no way for the Terrans to track them - they are well above any ship activity at Y:50km, and the Springblossom laying the satellites is far too fast for the Terran ships to chase it until the satellite comes in range of their scanners.


Can power ups spawns be predicted?

I find that I miss a lot of power-up spawns on blind turns where I am not fast enough to react to jump and get them. I realize their spawns are random, but are they completely random? Should I look for them every 100 m, every 250 m, or triggered my score levels or something else?


Driving a boat: Pull back or forward to go faster?

Invading a country with high crown laws

I play as the King of Ireland, and I plan to expand a little in the Kingdom they call England. Problem is, they have high crown authority, meaning any landed titles can not be inherited outside their realm. If I gain a dukal title, this will not be inherited to my heir upon my death. So how do I go about this? I have a few ideas:   * Play like a baws and challenge the crown directly. This will be hard, because I need to control at least half the country, and it might be hard to conjure up that many CBs before I die. **Even then, can I lower the crown authority when it's not my main title?**   * Give away all my English lands to a dynasty member (preferably my heir) before I die. In theory, this would give me more time to build up an English powerbase.   * Ignore England for now, and focus on Scotland and Wales. When those are secured, I could possibly start pushing for an Emperor title.   * Have the English king excommunicated, which may give me a free CB (right?) – however, this is highly unlikely in my situation. My second problem is, even if I did manage to become King of England and change their crown authority, my sources inform me their succession law is actually _seniority_ – so that would need to be changed as well, and as far as I know, you can't change two crown laws in one reign. Seriously, those bastards make it hard for me to invade their lands. It's almost as if they don't want me there.


What are the differences between the different ports of MW3?

First off let me say this question is being asked with the assumption that computer specs meet all the recommended specs for the game. When I had purchased _Black Ops_ from Steam for PC my computer went well beyond the recommended specs, but I had all sorts of problems occur such as crashes in the game causing it to force quit itself, as well as having the game screen go to a bright yellow and not returning to the game itself. What are the differences between the various ports of the game?

What's the best way to run PC games like RCT3 on a Mac?

OK, I've got a PC version of Rollercoaster Tycoon 3 on PC CD-ROM, but I've upgraded to a Mac (MacBook Pro OSX Snow Leopard specifically) and I want to re-install it. I understand there are a number of options for running PC games/software on a Mac, such as Wine, VirtualBox or BootCamp. I already have a Windows XP VM in VirtualBox, but that's slow enough without trying to run something like RCT3 in it. I know there's a Mac port of RCT3 released, but I don't want to spend extra money when I already have a perfectly valid PC version already.

Batman Arkham City freezes when searching for Mr. Freeze

Oh, the irony! I'm at the part where you search for Mr. Freeze. On my way to the museum, the game freezes, and sometimes crashes with an error message about missing files. I've Googled and found that others have this problem as well, but found no solution. **Note: I am not using the Steam version** What I've tried:   * Lowering the display settings to the very minimum.   * Fiddling with the sound, in case there's a missing file there for some reason.   * Re-installing the game.   * Make sure the game is only run on 2 processors and not 4. Has anyone experienced the problem and managed to solve it? ### EDIT: Related: **This question over at Yahoo! Answers is the exact problem I'm having.**

What am I supposed to do if a teammate starts firing at me in World of Tanks?

It sometimes happens that a teammate deliberately tries to kill you for example if you stand in his way. It often happens on Province or Malinovka that I hide behind a rock next to the spawn area and snipe from there. Sometimes someone else tries to push you out and if it does not work they start firing at you. In these cases I ask them to stop but 80% won't do so and in this case standard procedure for me is to ensure survival: I kill them and continue the game. Today I received an 1H ban because of "Team Kill" but in fact it was self defense. What can I do in these cases? Just standing there until I die is not an option.


What's the correct way to leave cover?

When I'm in cover and I want to leave it (say when all enemies are dead and I need to move on) I often make a fool of myself - I usually end up rolling around or moving to another piece of cover while my squad-mates look on with withering distain (or that's how I see it). Often I find I'm 'stuck' in cover and I can only get out by jumping over the top of a barrier or rolling off the side when there's no more cover that way. I'm assuming I'm missing something, what's the correct way to 'leave' cover and move around normally again?


What difference does my choice of significant combat loss make?

What actually unlocked the Previous Assassin's outfits

In my game when i went into the outfits i found i had the previous Assassin's outfits in with the rest. i assumed this was because i had played the previous games (didn't complete Assassin's Creed 3) and they got unlocked because the game picked up their save games. When my dad went to play the game and went to his outfits he didn't have any and he's completed Assassin's Creed 3. the only difference between his profile and mine is that i have an x-box live account which i use to update the game on his 360. I am wondering, what unlocks the Previous Assassin's outfits? EDIT: To clarify (as i didn't think of it) i have never used UPlay and always skipped any signup/log in step


Is the AI smarter on Immortal or Deity, or do they just get bonuses?

I know that higher levels AIs get bonuses. But do they actually play smarter? It seems a little unfair for the AIs to get bonuses. Is the idea just that to beat them, a player has to be so good that he can still win with a handicap?

I just want to know if I need to play Assassins Creed 3 first, before I start with the 4.

1st kill Malthael

I'm trying to figure out how the system works and I was wondering. I already read about, Under what conditions does Malthael drop legendary pieces or plans? When you first kill Malthael you have a guarantee drop (boots + plan) and another one, if you reset your quest you will get another guarantee legendary. But, reading a blue, the guarantee legendary comes if you complete all the quests before, is this true? Have anyone tried it? What happens if I reset the quests, a friend of mine give me the last wp and kill him again, will I have another leg? On the other hand, what happens if I powerlevel one toon to 70 doing ccor and hermit, doing no quest at all and a friend of mine kills malthael in T1? Will I get only the plan + boots or I will get a lot of legendaries? Thanks

How do you build Soul Meter?

Correct me if the name of this meter is wrong; I am referring to the curved one at the edge of your health bar, that has the number 0, 1, or 2, depending on how full it is. I know that this generally just goes up through the course of play, and it goes up quickly enough that casual players don't really need to think about how exactly they're building the meter. However, depending on how the meter builds, this could make strategies focused around that, like strategies focused around breaking armor in Soul Calibur IV. What actions build up your meter, and how much do they build it up? Do some attacks build it up more than others?

In PvP, how does Unstable Affliction affect the healers, strategically?

When playing in large PvP environments (rated battlegrounds, primarily), healers have the responsibility of dispelling their teammates. Warlocks have the responsibility of using Unstable Affliction on as many players as possible. The description of Unstable Affliction states that "if the Unstable Affliction is dispelled it will cause 2007 damage to the dispeller and silence them for 4 sec." Does this silence suffer from diminishing returns (first silence is 4 seconds, second is 2 seconds, 3 is 1 second, then immunity for 15 seconds)? What happens when a healer's Mass Dispel dispels multiple UAs? Do those suffer from diminishing returns (e.g. a healer that dispels 4 UAs at once is immediately immune to the silence)? How do healers deal with the silence? Can other healers dispel the silence? _Please note that I am a DPS player that has never played a healer before, so bear with me._


Is Binary Domain playable without a mic?

Binary Domain has interested me for a while and is currently on sale at Steam. Thing is, I've played the demo and came across a few occurences of dialog where I was supposed to answer to my teammates through a mic. Long story short, I don't have one, and the way my PC is set in my room makes it impractical to plug one in anyway. I don't know if it's because it was a demo or a case of me not looking hard enough, but I couldn't find how or IF the voice system could be disabled, so any time one of these dialogs showed up I ended up being taken for a jerk by my teammates. So, can I work around it? If so, how? Do I lose anything by playing without a mic?


Can't set up LAN server with Terraria 1.2.4

I want to play two-player with my bro now that 1.2.4's out, but it's just not working. He types in the IP with the default 7777 port, but it just gets eternally stuck on the connection. Is this a bug? Or is there something else I need to do? When I was in 1.2.3 I could play via Hamachi with my friends, but I can't get it to work via plain ol' LAN.

Been playing StarCraft 2, and I'm wondering if there is a way to tell how many buildings you have destroyed in the level "The Dig" working towards the achievement for destroying 50 buildings with the giant laser? Is there a counter somewhere?

How do I change the default "Save File Location" in VVVVVV on Mac OS X?

Usually, VVVVVV saves the games in my Documents folder. How can I change this? I don't want my saved games appearing in my documents folder – I just don't know how to change the location without corrupting my progress.


Do different versions of Deus Ex: Human Revolution differ visually or mechanically? How so?

Deus Ex: Human Revolution is available on Xbox 360, PS3, and Windows-based computers via Steam. How do these versions differ? Obviously the 360 version has achievements, while the PS3 version has trophies—and Steam's suite of community participation tools are an obvious inclusion in the PC version. I'm referring more to differences in performance, graphical quality, user interface, or even in-game differences. For example, in the PS2 port of the original Deus Ex, many areas had to be broken up into smaller chunks with large stone walls in order for it to fit into the PS2's memory. That's a pretty significant difference! **Are the games functionally indistinguishable, and if not, what's the distinction?**

How Powerful is Magic?

In Fable I ran a strength character with the Cleaver being my weapon of choice: ![alt text](http://i.stack.imgur.com/R3iP1.jpg) In Fable II I had great fun with Dextrous styles and a clockwork rifle. Head shots for days: ![alt text](http://i.stack.imgur.com/A9HqT.jpg) So Fable III comes a long and I think to myself: time to give will a try! No mana bar means I can spam will to my hearts delight. Only one problem: I don't know how much damage I'm doing. Every spell can be charged. Based on the charge level it does more damage. Every spell can be upgraded. Based on the upgrade level it does more damage. But how much? I need **maths**


How to deal with 2v2 rushes?

I play on a 2v2 team as Protoss, my ally is Terran. 1v1 rush handling is fairly straight-forward, and if you're prepared for it the defender gets the _advantage_ because of quick reinforcements, high ground, etc. In 2v2 however, when a rush comes, it's twice as strong, and the defender is at a _disadvantage_ because:   * It's usually too early to join armies with your ally, so it's 2v1.   * As Protoss, when an early double rush comes in at 6 minutes, they are right at my production facilities. It's easy for one of them to deal with my units, and one of them to take out my pylons very quickly.   * There are more options for the opponent to see high ground: hallucinated colossus, overloards, or because the army is so big, just running straight up the ramp. For example I just lost to a 6-minute marine+roach attack on Monlyth Ridge. We scouted and knew it was coming, but I don't know what we could have done to stop it. They killed my pylons while I tried to hold them off, thus I couldn't reinforce, thus they didn't even have to kill my base before going to kill my ally. The typical answer to holding on in a 2v2 game when one ally is dying is: **Die as slowly as possible**. This is excellent later in the game, but against decent opponents at about 6-8 minutes, this isn't very powerful / possible because:   1. I have very few units to distract them with.   2. My map coverage & economy is not enough to start building dark templar or other surprise tech.   3. This early, they have a very clear idea of what options I have, so they are not afraid to just march into my base.   4. Luring them away from the base is too risky; without any defense in my base they will run in and kill production / economy.   5. Once they kill my production (which doesn't take long), they don't need to bother killing my buildings. They can march straight to the ally's base. They only need to keep a couple units in my base to prevent me from advancing. My 2v2 team tends to win as long as we can hold off 6-8 minute rushes. Here are some ideas but I would like to hear your comments before I throw away lots of games experimenting:   * More sentries for forcefield. The advantage is this doesn't cost much of a compromise to my build as I can build them just as I build any other gateway unit. However, it only delays the inevitable and doesn't allow me to ramp up my production. It also prevents me from helping my ally if they go to him. So I am pretty scared to use FF in this scenario.   * Hallucination. They won't have detection at this point, and if they arrive at my front door and see 2 immortals and 6 stalkers, they may just run away. If not, it could absorb enough of their fire to buy us more time than a force field.   * Turtle. My ally and I prefer longer games so we just want to be able to hold off rushes. So should we do it decisively by turtling hard? Especially on Monlyth Ridge, could it be that doing a forge-first opening and quick-ish expand is the best way to fend off their early attacks? The idea would be to sacrifice early units, put all resources into defense and benefit from a healthier economy and play the game on our terms. But I am not sure static defense is strong enough for rushes like this anyway, and it's a lot of investment. So, how does a 2v2 team defend against rushes like this as the different race options? **[Update, after accepting Sorean's answer]:** I want to say how I integrated Sorean's answer into my thinking and on the ladder. I think you can boil the issues down to **joining armies at your base means giving up defensive advantages we're used to in 1v1**. These advantages boil down mostly to positioning / base geography. Without that issue, for example on Discord IV, the defense strategy is the same as 1v1. So the response is that, if you want to compensate for the disadvantage, then you'll need to **emphasize more heavily the defensive capabilities of your race in a 2v2 defense**. Fortunately Blizzard has given enough options to make up for the disadvantage in 2v2 (I think...). Note that I really don't know much about Zerg or Terran, but I'll try to list this:   1. For Protoss:      1. Sentries with force field - if you can't completely block the opponent, you can at least choke them into a more favorable position.     2. Cannons, though usual cautions apply for these costly defenses. But in some defensive positions cannons can be favored over units for the amount of damage they deal, and they are useful later in the game to detect burrowed units / dark templar.   2. For Zerg:      1. Static defense (but usual cautions still apply of course). Zerg can benefit even better because of being able to move static defense.     2. Creep     3. Queens with transfuse. Think spanishiwa and how he manages to defend with almost no units against a 4-gate.   3. For Terran:      1. Bunkers     2. Siege tanks. Because siege tanks can arrive earlier in the game than anything else with such a long range, they are great for defending main / natural bases.     3. Supply depots. Not sure if this really deserves to go on this list, but the ability to raise / lower a supply depot can be so useful in making building positioning work in your favor, and out of the opponents' favor. We are starting to experiment, putting the 2nd supply depot in the protoss base if we're walling in.

how does premade matchmaking work with a large rating difference?

For example i've seen a premade where one had 1500 rating and the other was unranked, will the rest of the team be closer to the higher or the lowest? And what about the other team? Isn't matchmaking somehow unbalanced?

Is there a way to use .flac files in Audiosurf?

A while ago, I played the game Audiosurf on a friends computer and I remember it to be good fun. The problem is, if I remember correctly, the game only supports the usage of .mp3 files (and maybe .wav). Since I have ripped all my CDs to .flac files and do not want to make .mp3 copies of my collection, I would like to know, is there a way to use .flac files in Audiosurf?

If one player doesn't own a DLC-civilization, can the others still use it in multiplayer?

Some of the DLCs just give new civilizations. I realize there's a good chance the "DLC" is already downloaded for everyone, it just needs to be activated by throwing more money at them. So, if I buy a new civilization, but I'm playing with someone who hasn't bought that civilization yet, can I still use it?

What does Rewind Story actually do?

I went through the campaign on Veteran and finished everything except the Strike Force missions. I want to go back to the beginning and finish up the challenges I missed and do the Strike Force missions on a lower difficulty. Does rewinding the story back to the first mission reset challenges/intel? Once I rewind the story, can I lower the difficulty? I know New Story clears out everything, but how does Rewind Story (to the first mission) differ?


My cat jumped in a hole. What do I do?

I am in Sokoban, and I brought my cat with me. That was probably a bad idea, since it just found the nearest pit and immediately decided to go skydiving! Now I can't push boulders into the hole because it will hurt the cat. I've waited (with the `.` command) for a few turns, but the cat climbed out of the hole directly into the next one.... What should I do to a.) Get the cat out of the hole(s), and b.) Stop it from going into more holes? I don't have a magic whistle or a leash.

How fast does Pac-Man move?

I'm creating a personalized pac-man clone for personal novelty purposes, and I'd like to reproduce the original arcade gameplay as faithfully as possible. I've read The Pac-Man Dossier, but I don't see anywhere on there exactly how fast pac-man or the ghosts can move. In several places it is mentioned, " _moves at xx% of the base speed_ ", but I don't see anywhere what the base speed is. Is it based on a number of pixels traveled per frame, or some number of tiles per second?

Do swarmers count towards kill awards in multiplayer?

In multiplayer, you get bronze, silver and gold awards that give you experience. Some of these are for 25, 50 and 75 kills with each gun and in total. When fighting the Reaper troops, Swarmers will be released from Ravagers when you shoot them. Does killing these count towards the above awards?


Will Jordis the Sword-Maiden ever use the bow that I made for her?

Jordis the Sword Maiden is my new companion after spending the first 40 levels exploring with Lydia, getting into fights, watching her take a knee, waiting for her to catch her breath, take a few swings, rinse and repeat. After a few missions in Solitude, Jordis and I became partners (and Lydia took the long walk home). While working on my smithing and enchantment skills, I made her a delightful ebony with a swell fire enchantment. Sadly, she has completely snubbed my efforts. For some reason, she really prefers her clunky old log of a bow. Can I convince Jordis to at least _try_ the new bow? It's really quite nice. Besides, it matches her new outfit....


Are there secrets related to 'call' in Brogue?

You can `c` ('call') on most items to rename them which doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me. Most items automatically reveal certain features when used (i.e. applying or throwing a potion to discover its use) or are completely revealed when identified. In these cases, their names and descriptions are rewritten to describe them so you don't have to remember what they do. Is there another reason for wanting to call something by a different name? As an example, can I `elbereth` my swords for more power?


I can't interact with the Steam Overlay. What's going on?

I've been having issues with the Steam Overlay while playing **The Witcher** recently. I _suspect_ that the issues are specific to the fact that the game was (somewhat sloppily) ported to Mac OS X with a quick Wineskin wrapper - a theory supported by this question. Specifically, the Overlay appears when I hit Shift-Tab (most of the time. Sometimes it's totally non-responsive until I restart the game), but it's completely non-interactive. The cursor remains as the games custom cursor, and I can still interact with the game behind the overlay. I cannot however, click on anything _on_ the overlay. Is there anything I can do to fix the overlay to make it usable?


Is it possible to stunlock in PvP?

Is there any profession capable of stunlock in PvP? How would that work? _"What do you mean by stunlock? Unable to act or move for 5 seconds? For 10 seconds? Indefinitely?"_ (Question made by @Brant) What I mean by "stunlock" is to stun someone for an "unfair" period of time, giving you a lot of advantage over the stunned player. Such as Rogues were capable of in World of Wacraft. I won't fix any minimum time for a "stunlock", I'm basically looking after possible chain stuns that are close to "unfair"


When to buy an Oracle?

I've been going trough Q&A and haven't found a question like this. So basically, what I'm wondering about is - at what point of the game I should grab myself an Oracle? Whether I play as jungler or support, I like to have this very good item to help my team and make sure enemy team has to spend more money on wards. Now, I know it's good to buy it if enemy team has lots of wards, especially in my teams jungle, but what if I've been dying too much? How to make a good decision when 400g won't be a waste? Because, if you buy Oracle and die 2 min later without clearing any wards... It's kinda waste of 400g! Any tips & answers are appreciated, thanks in advance.

How do I invite a friend to play Super Street Fighter IV?

In regular (not Super) Street Fighter IV you could create player matches. You could make a player match friends-only, invite your friend, and play tons of matches. In Super Street Fighter IV, there are no player matches anymore. I can invite my friends if I create a game in endless mode or team mode, but not in 1v1 mode. Every time I try to click invite friend, it is always grayed out. Even if we create a party the option to invite party to game is also grayed out. How do I create a 1v1 match in SSFIV and invite someone from my friends list?

Alternative radio sounds for Counter-Strike: Source

Counter-Strike: Source is perhaps my all-time favorite games, but even it has something that is bothering me more and more after all these years: the default radio sounds. I've seen a few alternative radio packs, but none are complete (and none of them are an improvement). I find it difficult to believe that despite CS:S's customability, no such pack exists. Perhaps my Googling abilities are just letting me down?

How to get another player ID for Farmville 2 Country Escape?

I chose to ask this question here because there doesn't seem to be any way to contact Zynga for this game. The button that's supposed to actually show me the contact options just redirects to a page that tells me what I should be seeing. I have no permissions on the forums despite the email saying that I do. I will appreciate any guidance on how to get official support. My goal is for my friend and I to be able to play the game each using our own iPads and Facebook accounts. So this is what happened that led me to this problem:   1. My friend gets the game on his iPad using his Apple ID, plays the game with his Game Center ID but doesn't use Facebook Connect.   2. I get the game on my iPad using his Apple ID, play the game with my Game Center ID and use Facebook Connect.   3. Friend decides to use Facebook Connect, but I forgot I was logged in to my Facebook account on his iPad and he clicks the button in the game to connect.   4. His game connects to my Facebook so now it appears both our farms are tied to my Facebook and every time we try to play our own farms simultaneously the game will constantly ask us to pick between the device farm and the cloud farm.   5. We restart everything, uninstall, sign out of Facebook and Game Center, and sign in to our respective accounts and reinstall the game.   6. Now my friend is unable to connect his new farm to his Facebook because it keeps saying it's already connected to another, probably still mine.   7. It appears we have the same player ID when we check under the Options menu. So is there any way for us to remedy this situation?


The QR codes in ‘Need for Speed: Rivals’

There are tons of QR codes on cars, locations, videos, and elsewhere in the **world of Need for Speed: Rivals**. The QR codes are always in twisted perspectives that no app on my devices can scan them. Have anyone else had any luck in scanning these codes? Where do they lead? What do they do?

PSN downloads for the PSVita --- interpreting game availability

I've been browsing the playable games on the PS Vita listed here on the official website: http://us.playstation.com/psvita/games-and- media/#?platform=PSVita&Genre=Genre&SubCat=Vita Features&page=1 Every single game in this list is playable on the PSVita. You can click on any of the games and see something like "Platform: PSP®, PSVita". In most cases, there is a "Buy Download" option, which makes sense, as the PSVita cannot read PSP UMDs. However, these are other cases where there is only a "Buy Disc" option available, and there are other cases where there is NO buy option available. For example: **1) Buy Disc only:** http://us.playstation.com/games/kingdom-hearts-birth-by- sleep-psp.html **2) No Buy option:** http://us.playstation.com/games/knights-in-the- nightmare-psp.html Both of those PSP games list PSVita as platforms. "Buy Disc" is meaningless as it is UMD format for the PSP. So if you can't download either of them, and both of their release dates say "Out Now," what in the world does that even mean? The above two are simply examples --- the entire list is riddled with these mystery cases. How can I interpret this list? I can't buy a PSVita until I can concretely determine with no mystery what I actually can and can't play.


Were the snow-elves evil?

I am considering using Wuuthraad. However, from the lore I could gather, Ysgramor seems to be a genocidal megalomaniac - and his weapon killed the snow elves by the droves and led to their descent into the Falmer. But if they were evil, I have no problems using it (it does look nice). So, any lore that tells us of the nature of snow elves?

Can't find Gaius Maro's body after killing him in Solitude

For the quest "Breaching Security", you're to kill Gaius Maro (preferably in a town) and then place a letter on his body. I followed him to Solitude and transformed into a werewolf to kill him, to avoid the bounty. I then ran outside to transform back, planning to return inside Solitude then. When I got back in however, the marker for his body seems to be underground, near where I killed him. It's not a door marker. Is this a glitch where his body has disappeared, or has his body been moved somewhere (like the Hall of the Dead)?


Can skyrim mods pose any threat to my computer?

I changed my graphics to the lowest settings, and nothing seemed to change.

Why No XM From Ingress Portal

In the game Ingress, in my neighborhood, there is a newish Portal that went online last week. Control of it has passed back and forth between factions a few times, and it's been used by at least one side to create multiple Links and Fields, but to date, it hasn't provided any XM. I've checked many times, at all times of day. I'm sure that the issue isn't that other players are grabbing all the XM before I get a chance to see it. I've confirmed with other players that it doesn't provide them any XM, also. I haven't run across any other Portals that don't provide XM. Does anybody happen to know... Why would an Ingress Portal not provide XM?


How do I get my hands on higher-tier equipment and magic in Tactics Ogre (PSP)?

I've finished a play-through of Tactics Ogre and as a completionist have been using the World Tarot to go back and complete the other routes (e.g. Law route) to recruit more characters. My party members are all level 28-30 and have equipment and magic that I have been able to purchase since Chapter IV (e.g. Siege Bow, Baldur Daggers, Brigandine, Heal III). All of the enemies scale to be the same level as your party, and I've noticed that their equipment, skills and magic seem to be related to their level. This means that the enemies are using weapons like 'Frost Bow', 'Wyrmscale' armor and spells like Judgement III while I'm stuck with the equipment I got almost 10 levels ago. It's not getting difficult yet, but I imagine that if I continue to level up, the enemies will eventually have access to things that I can't keep up with. What is the best way to get my hands on stronger equipment and magic? I've had a Holy Comet and Roodbow drop after playing for about 8 hours but that was all, and I won't be able to gear everyone up properly if it's that inefficient to get decent gear. It seems like there must be a secret shop somewhere or some other more logical method.


ClassNotFound Exception when attempting to load Minecraft: Pixelmon

How do I make a clan?

When I create a clan in the multiplayer menu, it says clan created but I cannot add or invite people to my clan, and when I go to create a new one assuming the request was canceled or not entered correctly, it says clan name already exists as if someone else created it. Is this a bug? Did I do it wrong? Or am I missing something? I'm on the PS3. Will this also happen on my Xbox 360 Version?


Do poison effects stack?

If I use the same poison on a single target twice, do the effects stack? For example I hit someone twice with a poison that does `1 damage per second for 10 seconds`, what are the results:   * `2 damage per second for 10 seconds`   * `1 damage per second for 20 seconds`   * `2 damage per second for 20 seconds`   * The timer resets back to 10 seconds on the last hit   * The second poison is ignored This also leads to the question that if I use the `Concentrated Poison` perk in the `Alchemy` skill tree, are the effects the same as if I used two of the same poison in a row?

How can I buy in the PS Store with an EntroPay card?

This process used to be sweet ... but now I just can't buy anything... all I get is> "The funds could not be added to your wallet' message. Does anybody know if it is still possible to buy things from the PS Store with an EntroPay card? If so, how?


Should I fully charge my sniper shot?

Is it prudent to fully charge my sniper rifle in most cases? If an enemy gets up close, am I better off trying to scope-n-shoot, no-scope, or try some other weapon?


Am I missing the display of health?

In some almost-dead situations, I am missing a display of what my actual health level is. It's hart to tell when I need to swallow some painkillers. Do I miss something? Is there something more "numeric" than the bloody screen?


Upgrades of the stable and their effects on the magical horse

In "Secret of the Magic Crystals", I can buy new equipment for the stable. But I don't understand how it affects the magical horse. Since the upgrades are so expensive, there has to be an explanation. What are the effects of the equipment and its upgrades on strength, speed, stamina, dexterity, reflex and intelligence? ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/WEoDF.jpg)
