How can I get a match demo that I can't download?
I've been away from the game for a few months and I remember a match where I had a 2K one round and I downloaded the match again, but now I cannot download my game to watch later. The only thing I can view is the scoreboard of that match. Is there a way I can download the demo? It doesn't have download as an option when I right-click the on the match.

Minecraft graphic bug after some minutes playing
I just start the game, start loading the world and after a few seconds, this happens. I have the graphic drivers up to date and also I did update the java, nothing works. ![The game stays just like this](http://i.stack.imgur.com/JPDUD.png) I tried creative mode, and also I can't see a lot of the block icons! ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/tL7cC.png)

Checking my Intel collection progress
Where can I find the number of Intel items I have found for each level? I am sure I seen something at one point but I may be getting confused. Either way I cannot find them now. If I remember correctly from past games, this could be found on the mission select screen but it is not there this time. Some how, on my first play through I didn't manage to find any! Perhaps I was expected big orange boxes. Now I am replaying on veteran and have decided to keep a look out. So far I have found 3 on the first level and and working through the second at the moment (I think I have 2 so far) It is not so much a problem at the moment but I would like to see which ones I missed upon completion so I can go back and find them Thanks

What's in the next-to-last room?
So I recently played through Abe's Exoddus again, finally paying close enough attention to find all the secret areas and rescue everyone. However one thing I noticed that actually always bothered me: in the final level, after getting and using the Shrykull, you drop down _two_ rooms. In the last room you rescue the final four slaves before escaping. However in the room just before that, where you just fall straight through, there are four UXBs and more importantly an Abe Portal. There's an open trapdoor (that you fall through), which suggests that it could be closed, resulting in you needing to defuse the bombs and go through the portal. ![screenshot](http://i.stack.imgur.com/eEodHl.jpg) What's through there, and why is the door always open making the room seemingly useless?

Increasing Premium Items at Re-Tail in Animal Crossing: New Leaf
One of my villagers mentioned that you can get Re-Tail to buy more than one item at premium prices if you get streetpasses - but I've been unable to get this to happen. I regularly get streetpasses and I've tried checking * when I've gotten a non-AC streetpass before loading the game for the day * checking the board/shop after having gotten a non-AC streetpass * when I've gotten an AC streetpass before loading the game for the day * checking the board/shop after having gotten an AC streetpass but there's never more than one item being bought at the premium price. What am I doing wrong? **update** I still have the night-owl ordinance in effect - and I have never had the bell-boom ordinance in effect. A few days ago, I received a few streetpasses - no more than normal - and had three premium items listed.

Borderlands 2, skin and head problems?
I am having problem with the skins and head customization. I have got new heads and skins that are universal (like the Minecraft) and one's for my class and even unlocked heads. It says I unlocked it but everytime I go to change my skin/head, the items don't show up on the list. How can I fix this?

What is a season pass?
I have noticed recently on Steam for a variety of games that they've started to sell something called a "Season Pass". For an example of some of the season passes I've seen, see the following; * Worms Revolution Season Pass * Borderlands 2 Season Pass In both instances, these appear to be for future downloadable content which is/are not yet available. Are season passes in terms of gaming a new thing? Is this something specific to Steam? Is it always essentially pre-selling downloadable content or are there other examples where a season pass for a game provides additional benefits?

Can't seem to achieve free destruction spells in Skyrim?
This is my apparel: Robes : 25% Destruction + 25% Conjuration spell reduction cost Ring: 25% Destruction + 25% Conjuration spell reduction cost Also, I've got the perk for "Cast Adept spells for Half Magicka" perk in the destruction tree. But Ice Storm spell, which is Adept level, still costs me magicka and I'm out in about 9 dual casts with 600 magicka (nothing like the vids on youtube where it costs nothing to cast them). I've used Grand Soul gems for enchanting my stuff. Is this the reason they don't work? I've also added/removed my apparel, but though the reduction shows up in 'active effects', it doesn't do anything. Help, please? EDIT: I've just been reading up, and sorry, I did not notice that you need to enchant 4 pieces of apparel with 25%. This works, true, but then the perks of cost reduction are completely pointless right? What is the reason for those perks, can someone please clarify?

What level should I be by the time I face the Warden in Borderlands 2?
So I epically failed the first time and it looks like I ended up going the friendship gulag route. The problem is I still cant' beat the warden. I was at level 12 and I was getting absolutely no where, so I left the mission and went and did a few side missions. I am now level 14 and I have a rocket launcher that barely does 1000 damage, am I ready to face him?

If an item can be bought in a shop is it guaranteed to be available for purchase in the catalog?
I am still two days away from getting the T&T Mart so I have been hoarding everything I have bought or found so far 'just in case'. I have officially run out of space in my inventory though. I just wanted to confirm that if something is bought in a store, found in a tree, or balloon that it can be re- purchased? For example I found a Makar's Mask in Labelle's one day. I feel like it should be a Nintendo Item but I was able to buy it from the store. Does that mean I am guaranteed to be able to purchase it from the catalog anyway because I found it in a store? I know that Nintendo items that Tommy and Timmy give me for Fortune Cookies cannot be repurchased, and of course any items not in the list of categories (like flowers) here cannot be repurchased.

Can I join my armies to my liege's armies?
I'm trying to play CK2 as a minor count in the service of the King of England, and whenever the King goes to war, I don't seem to be very involved in it – I can basically ignore everything that's going on and just focus on my own holding. If I want to join my liege's wars, I have to raise my own levies and basically follow him around, always one step behind. Can I give control of my army to my liege, or somehow join my 600 men to his 12000-strong army?

How do I get rid of a car that I own?
I have a car in my garage that I don't want anymore. How can I make it so that it's not mine anymore? Will destroying it do? Or just leaving it in the impound and letting them destroy it? The thing is that you can still claim the car back after it's been destroyed. How do I permanently remove the possession of a car?

Are there Planeswalker cards in Duels 2014?
Duels of the Planeswalkers 2014 has a sealed deck format in which you open several packs of Magic 2014. Magic 2014 as a core set contains planeswalker cards at mythic rare. My question is: does Duels 2014 finally have planeswalkers? It's hard to tell since one will only ever open so many packs. Thx.

How do I perform the basic move combos in training mode?
In _Street Fighter X Tekken_ there's a practice/trial mode. The first few trials are special moves which, ironically, are easy to do. After that come some "basic combos" which seem to be a lot harder. The first one I passed by sheer luck (button mashing), but the next one is more challenging. Unfortunately the trial mode has no explanation other than an indication of the moves to be performed. Take for example this one (Zangief trial #12): **⇨** `Stand` `M` Punch **⇨** `Stand` `M` Punch **⇨** `Stand` `M` Punch **⇨** `Stand` `H` Kick Or, put in a screenshot: ![Zangief trial 12 moves screenshot](http://i.stack.imgur.com/pnKvi.jpg) How should you time these moves? I've tried several things to no avail: * Pressing move and punch/kick at the _same_ time, i.e. execute every "row" in the screenshot as a whole * Keeping move pressed while doing the punch-punch-punch-kick sequence * Alternating move and punch/kick At random I sometimes fill the first two rows, but I can't really find the trick behind these combos. Can anyone explain how to complete these? This is the PC version, using an Xbox 360 wireless controller, should it matter.

Should I be changing gear at every level up?
Just like the title says, **should I be changing my gear every time I level up? Is it worth it?** I just started Nightmare mode with my Wizard last night and have kept the same gear on since about the beginning of Act IV of normal mode. I seem to be doing alright on Act I - Nightmare, haven't died yet _knock on wood_. But I'm afraid I'm going to have to start changing gear again soon. I have plenty of gold to where I could hit up the blacksmith or the AH.

Can I play the original World of Warcraft without any expansions?
I tried playing _World of Warcraft_ from an old DVD I had. But it immediately starts downloading the expansion (I can see 8GB remaining at the bottom of the downloader) and won't let me play the game. I do not want to download the expansion just want to play the original _WoW_. Blizzard's website says I must have the latest patches to be able to play. Is this only true for Battle.Net's server or will I need to update to the latest expansion to be able to play? Also if I start playing the latest expansion (Cataclysm at the moment), will I be missing something that was found only in the original game?

Can you salvage a plan/pattern?
Diablo 3 has a pretty good loot system for patterns in the case of, if your blacksmith or jeweler know the pattern it won't drop again. However, thanks to the legendary drop buff special event this week, I had the unfortunate luck of having a pattern drop at the start of a rift and then it dropped again at the end when we killed the rift guardian due to me not having gone back to town yet to teach my blacksmith the pattern. In my haste/disgust I simply sold the plan for a measly 122 gold. Today I came to think, could I have not salvaged the plan for a forgotten soul?

How do I launch Civ 5 in the tablet / touch mode by default
I just got a Windows 8 touch screen laptop, and playing Civ V in the Touch Enabled mode is great. But every time I launch it from within Steam, it prompts me to pick either DirectX9, DirectX 10 & 11, or Windows 8 - Touch Enabled (recommended). I went into the folder where Civ V is installed on my hard drive and found CivilizationV_Tablet.exe. I made a shortcut for that, but still got prompted! My google search only found me a bunch of people talking about how to run it on a Surface Pro.

Using the Mayflash GameCube to USB adapter. All buttons work except the C-Stick?
I got a Mayflash "GC Controller Adapter for PC USB". I plugged the GC controller into Port 1 on the Mayflash adapter (it's a dual-port) and plugged the adapter into the USB on my computer. I noticed that programs on my computer weren't really recognizing my controller that was hooked in, so I got a free program called "JoyToKey" that accepts inputs from a controller and sets the input to a certain key on the keyboard. JoyToKey works perfectly with the controller, but the only command that does not function properly is the C-Stick. If I program a key, say the letter "U" for example, to Left on the C-Stick, it seems to register all along the top of the C-Stick, but not the left. In other words, if I push the C-Stick up-left, up, up-right, or right, JoyToKey registers the input, even though I set it to only register when I push the C-Stick left. I have tried calibrating the controls via the Windows USB Game Controller setup, but it does not work (using Windows 8 64-bit by the way). What can I do to fix this? If you need any more details or examples, I will post them, just let me know what you need. Thanks for your help! UPDATE: I don't have a way of truly knowing if the issue is JoyToKey or just Windows, but in the Windows USB controller setup, the C-Stick corresponds to the Z-Axis, and it seems to be working okay. If I can find out how the Z-Axis is supposed to register then I might be able to fix the problem.

Recover save after save was overwritten on a game boy cartridge
**BACKSTORY:** I recently found my Pokémon gold cartridge, which I had from a very long time ago and I was surprised that it was still working after at least 7 years. I could play and save almost normally; the only exception was that I had to set the clock every time. After a week or so, it just stopped saving, and I stopped playing it. Some time after that my seven-year-old nephew saw my Gameboy with the game attached and overwrote my old save ( the horror!), **saving** a new file. (Honestly I do not know how, because it could not save anymore.) Now I've lost my old save and can't continue a new one. **QUESTION:** Can I somehow recover the save?, Maybe not the conventional way, but I mean data is data, right? The same way you can recover info from a computer if deleted. Is there **something** I can do to recover that "data"? Childhood memories are on the line! FYI - I tagged this Gameboy Advance because there was not a Gameboy Color tag; and because I used to play on a Gameboy Advance.

Buying a house in Markarth, bugged
There is a known bug that I have fallen into where the Steward will not sell me a house (no dialogue option about it). I also cannot initiate dialog with the Jarl about becoming Thane. Has anyone discovered a way around this? By the way, preventing this bug: Go talk to the Jarl before you do all of the other quests around the city. Do his quests first and get the quest to help out around town. This is just conjecture, but I believe that it is caused by already meeting the requirements to become Thane before you first speak to him. edit: resetting the NPC does nothing edit of edit: Perhaps I can force my way into this quest using the console? I know you can begin certain quests with setstage. Can you do the same with the quest to become thane?

Is there any point where wolves are useful?
In Gladius for XBox, we're playing through Nordagh. It seems like our opponent wolves are fairly tough, so we got a wolf of our own. To put it bluntly, he's awful. Lacking most equipment slots, we outfitted him with a collar of force (the stupid thing came with a collar of rage) to up his power. Frankly, we are unimpressed. There's really nothing he can do that a berserker couldn't do better, and most of the battles we've found that require non- humans would accept a berserker just as readily as a wolf. Is there any point in the game where wolves are actually useful?

In Modern Warfare II, Which killstreak combination stacks the easiest/fastest?
Now this question may seem obvious, duh -- killstreaks that come one after another like UAV/Counter-UAV/Predator Missile -- but I am talking about sets of killstreaks that unlock each other while you lay around hiding somewhere - or at least work well enough on their own so you need to only get 1 or 2 kills to get the next killstreak. Right now I have Harrier Strike/Pavelow/AC-130 or Chopper Gunner (depending on map). Once I get my harrier I call it in, then go off somewhere safe for my Pavelow to be ready (I can sometimes get my Pavelow from the Harrier's strike, not even needing to wait for the 3rd harrier to start hovering). Any other Killstreak combos that work well together?

What's wrong with the G-Diffuser?
So I was playing _Starfox 64_ the other day, and I noticed something suspicious. No matter what course of action I take, if this blue bird guy gets shot too much in the first stage, he tells me that something has happened to his **G-Diffuser** , and he has to break off. _**Hmmmmm..._** * * * What does this so-called **G-Diffuser** do? If it's such a critical component of the **Arwing** that even slight damage renders the vehicle inoperable, why wasn't I made aware of it before? Isn't that a liability that the **commander** of the team should probably know about? And why does this bird guy's **break** so often in this stage, and yet I've **never** had a problem with mine, and neither has **anyone** else in my team, even under heavy fire? And why can't that annoying little **frog** do anything about it? Is this so- called " **G-Diffuser** " merely a ruse created by the bird to get his own skin out of a fight? This has been bothering me for a while now. There's something **fishy** going on, I think.

I've never had this problem with my other Homies. It doesn't seem to matter what he's equipped with either. If he has nothing, he'll just slam on me, or if he has a flamethrower he'll set me on fire. I can't figure out why. Anyone know what causes this?

How can I survive Hell as an Assassin?

This is my first character after a long hiatus so I've got no super great items, and I can't build a lot of the suggested assassin builds that make use of top notch gear to survive.

Can you upgrade the pick-10 system?
Call of Duty: Black Ops II uses a 'pick-10' system for online multiplayer. Meaning of all the guns, attachments, perks, grenades, and wildcards that you have unlocked, you can pick a combination of only 10 to use at one time. Although I like this idea, it keeps the playing field more level, I would like to be able pick more than 10, to get some more attachments on my secondary, or use all my wildcard slots, etc. In offline-multiplayer, every gun and attachment is unlocked for you. Me and my buddies have played split-screen with a 'pick-17' system, where we were able to fully custom classes using every weapon in a combination of 17 items at once. **Can you increase the max items allowed in online multiplayer? Do you get an extra one each time you prestige?**

Grelka. Light of my life. Fire of my loins. My sin, My soul. Why the hell won't you marry me?
Grelka is a comely nord lass from the city of Riften. She dreams of leaving Skyrim, demands your money in the gruffest manner possible, sells and offers training in the use of Light Armor, buys a variety of legitimate, and with a properly honeyed tongue, illegitimate goods at a fair price (certainly better than that churl of a blacksmith Balimund. He offers to marry me daily. I guess Skyrim is pretty progressive like that). Oh, and by Skyrim standards, she's gorgeous. Skyrim standards aren't terribly high in this regard. ![Grelka](http://i.stack.imgur.com/V78DG.png) According to Prima's official strategy guide, as well as UESP, and The Elder Scrolls Wikia, she is an eligible Bachelorette (and what a catch!). She's a member of the `PotentialMarriageFaction`, but no matter what I say to her, no matter how many of her goods I buy, no matter what valuable gifts I secretly deposit in her pockets, she refuses to acknowledge my Amulet of Mara. The heartless woman just will not marry me. How can I win Grelka's love and devotion for all eternity? How can I make her mine? (Alternately, how can I get her to agree to a marriage of convenience, secure in the knowledge that my imminent death will award her an inheritance of the sort the emperor could only dream? I'm not really _that_ picky here.)

When can enemies not see a soldier on a roof?
I'm playing I/I and this is something that I can't completely figure out. When a unit is on the roof of a building units one story below it sometimes can't see it, but when the unit is simply on elevated ground enemy units can spot it without trouble. There are however some edge cases (all questions regard units that do not stand on edge of roofs/elevated ground): * it seems that units two or more stories below unit on elevated ground at least sometimes can't see it. Is there some known rule to figure it out when unit can be seen? * if unit A is on roof on level 1 (counting levels from level 0 - ground level) and enemy unit is on roof on level 2 can unit A see unit B? * what about elevated ground? If unit A is on elevated ground on level 1 and unit B is on roof on level 2 can unit A see unit B? * is roof of UFO considered elevated ground or roof? * or does it depend on distance from unit on roof?

How can I speed up the cooldown for the helicopter homie?
After calling him, I keep having it grayed out for awhile, with no idea what drives it or what I could do to get it refreshed besides go about my business. Is there anything I can do to speed this up? There are so many fewer cribs with heli-access, it seems, in Saints Row 3.

Is it possible to ride a bus as a passenger? Also, how do I get out?
I was trying to buy noodles from a vendor, to prepare to beat up a couple of unruly punks. As I was handing over my money (pressed the 'buy' button, which is _right-click_ by default in the PC), a 'Select destination' screen (similar to a taxi 'Select destination' screen) appeared. I forgot if I selected a destination or chose 'cancel'. Anyway, I next found myself inside a bus as a passenger. I was then forced to ride inside the bus against my will (I was unable to exit by pressing right-click) as it went along its route. I'm not sure if the game detected the _right-click_ as 'enter the bus' or if this is a bug. I was forced to reload a previous save, as this is no fun at all. Screenshots (my character is the only passenger in the bus and wears a hat): (click on an image to view the larger version) ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/BeFMY.jpg) ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/iYUV2.jpg) My questions: Is this a bug or is there a normal (non-bug) way to ride the bus as a passenger (not as a driver)? Also, if I suddenly found myself inside a bus, how do I exit? (Right-clicking does not work in my case.)

Can't cure vampirism: Falion won't interact
I am tired of being a vampire, so I'm trying to complete the _Rising at Dawn_ quest. I've spoken to Falion initially, given him a filled black soul gem, and met him at dawn in the black swamp, but I can't _Speak to Falion_ , which is the trigger for the ritual to actually cure me. He just stands there. (I've recently drunk blood – this is not about people attacking me.) I can talk to him about other things, why he's in Morthal, etc, but I can't trigger the ritual. Steam forum suggests this is a glitch and even has a fix, but that fix requires you to type a code in the console. I don't know how to do that in the PS3, if it's even possible. I'm having a lot of trouble with the 75% fire weakness. How can I stop being a vampire?

In the roach evolution mission what do the multicolored crystals paired with the units Maye, Oynx, and Diamond reference?
When I reached the area pictured below a scripted event starts showing a girl unit named Maye chased by two creatures named Onyx and Diamond. Between the multi-colored crystals and the named units Blizzard seems to be referencing something here. However, I have no idea what. What is being referenced in the second part of the “Evolution Mission” for Roaches? ![multi-colored crystals and Maye, Oynx, and Diamond unit](http://i.stack.imgur.com/YLfdr.jpg)

How do I know what manufacturer's parts are on a gun?
I've seen loading tips like "assault rifles with a Vladof barrel fire faster as you keep the trigger held"; this clearly refer to the "Spinigun" triple gatling barrel assault rifles. Aside from that and the Elemental accessory (which I believe is exclusively made by Maliwan) I don't really know how to recognize which parts come from other manufacturers. Note that these parts show up on _other manufacturer's guns_ , I've seen Bandit and Jakob's Spiniguns and elemental guns from everyone but Jakob's. Are there other parts that are made by specific manufacturers that show up on guns? Most parts appear to be exclusive to a manufacturer's guns (e.g. Tediore's clean, mass-produced aesthetic), but it's implied certain parts can be on other manufacturer's guns, like the Vladof rifle barrel. How can I recognize them?

Creep Score vs. Kills/Assists
If I was going for gold farming, would I be more likely to get more gold from 1 or 2 minion waves or a champion kill/assist? I understand that killing champions is important for disrupting the enemy team and that I should be present for as many teamfights as possible, but what should I really focus on early game? I don't want to b at a disadvantage because I got 1 or 2 waves of minions but my opponent ganked mid and got a kill, came back and showed me his new items; resulting in my death.

Do mobs spawn in the same location for every seed in Minecraft?
I'm interested in knowing whether peaceful mobs spawn in the same location every time in Minecraft for a given map seed. When I was playing on the "Glacier" seed on a singleplayer world, I found a pack of wolves that spawned inside a cave where I could tame them easily. Will they spawn like this every time on this particular seed, or is the spawning of peaceful mobs simply random and unpredictable?

Is there any way out of the infinite corridor?
I started playing Dream and I thought I had solved all the puzzles (of the current version) until I stumbled across the portal located in one of the cave in the desert. I played through the colored mazes (greatly reminding the Antichamber atmosphere) and I finally found myself walking through an infinite corridor with text written on the wall at the end. Unfortunately every step I take drive this text away. There are colored rooms appearing randomly on the right and the left of the corridor as you walk past through it. As you know all these room always lead you back to the corridor. I figured out this might be some sort of maze where you have to enter in the right colored room in a specific order in order to reach the end of the corridor, however everything i have tested so far hasn't worked. Is there any way to reach the end ?

What crews are best for maximizing my heist returns?
I realized after the first heist that I could have made a better choice of crew in order to maximize my returns (since certain people end up costing more due to scripted events). Regardless of difficulty, what crew members should I choose in the heist missions in order to make the most money? I know that the answer isn't always "pick the cheapest". E.g., on the jewel heist, the gunman with the least experience doesn't steal as much as the experienced one, and his casualty costs (in the scripted event) further cut into the take-home.

Does Swiftness stack with Signet of the Hunt?
The latest patch increased the passive effect of Signet of the Hunt from 10% to 25%, which is a noticeable increase of speed. Before the patch, however, I was using 6x Superior Rune of the Centaur, which increases the duration of all swiftness effects by 20% and gives you 10 seconds of swiftness (before the 20%) when you cast a heal. Since the patch though, I can see the graphical effect for swiftness when I gain it, but I don't seem to be moving any faster than the base movement speed increase I get from Signet of the Hunt. Does Swiftness stack with Signet of the Hunt?

How to evade pursuit?
So in the old version of the game you had cooldown spots in which you could hide to evade. This new version I can't find any, so I have no choice but to drive super fast away, and then cruise trying to avoid police and loitering behind buildings, in tunnels and under construction sites. What is an effective strategy for ending a police pursuit quickly? Ideally from any heat level, and using driving techniques. Rather than jumping to a race from EasyDrive.

Does the sentry's Guardian Shield protect units from ranged attacks if the attackers are inside the shield?
Let's say army A has 5 stalkers and army B has 5 stalkers and a sentry. If the sentry is in the middle of army B and throws up a guardian shield while army A is still well outside the radius of the shield, obviously army B will take reduced damage from A's ranged attacks. If the A stalkers sacrifice the time and health to walk inside of the guardian shield, literally standing right next to B's stalkers, are their attacks still reduced by the sentry's shield?

Half-Life / Portal Story Loophole?
Ok, so Black Mesa and Aperture Science were competing to discover and develop portal technology along with getting government funds. This "competition rush" caused the Black Mesa Incident and the Borealis accident. So, my question is: How could Black Mesa and Aperture Science be in this competition if Aperture Science had clearly already invented portal technology? In Portal 2, when you are testing with Cave Johnson, there is a poster on the wall which shows the previous version of the portal gun. ![](http://i.stack.imgur.com/WjPWD.png) Clearly, Aperture Science had functioning portal technology back in the 60's. Why would Black Mesa still be trying to create portals in the 21st century if the technology had already existed?

I can't find Boars!
Okay, so apart from the first mission where I had to kill 2 Boars near the area where the Komodo Dragons are found, I haven't found any more Boars thereafter. I've searched very very hard using even those hunter syringes but I can't find them. I can find pigs everywhere. What's more is that during the first chapter, right after I activate the first radar, Dennis asks me to open the Map and I see the Boar symbol _exactly to the Komodo Dragon symbol_. But it wasn't so after the mission got over. Right now, I must do the 3rd mission of going to speak to some Doctor who is near another corner of the island and I haven't found another boar. Another interesting bit is that I thought this happened after patching the game to v1.02 and that's why I re-installed the game and played without patching it, but it turns that the patch had no effect on the boars whatsoever. Is it so, that Boars shall appear again after I finish a story mission? Please help and also it would be of immense help if someone could really post the **Boar** and the **Pig** symbol as the map legend is of little avail.
