texts: How to beat the enemy on main hall in Endless Path of Od Nua Level 7?

texts:
I've been spending hours beating this floor. I can't get through the main hall, there is too many enemies. I tried leading them on a narrow doorstep to have them funneled but their spells really gets me down. Specially my melee are being mind controlled and the teleporting blights.

I am using Aloth (lvl5), Kana (lvl5), Durance(lvl5), Eder (lvl5), a hired barbarian (lvl4) and my main character is a wizard (lvl5).

The enemy are so many I don't know who's casting what.  Any ideas? Please share your strategy.

texts: Where is the Treasure located in The Mountain Path area of the Ignan Ruins (2-1)?

texts:
I've purchased the hint from the Priest to try to figure out how to find the treasure, which is in the spoiler below:

  Nature provides the drums, you provide the beat

I... have no idea what this means. The only thing I can think of is that it possibly has something to do with the mushrooms? Because... mushrooms sort of... look like drums?

What I have tried:

Killing all the mushrooms first
Killing everything but the mushrooms and leaving them for last (this is actually harder than it sounds)
Hitting the 3 rocks in the zone both clockwise and counter-clockwise (both with and without enemies in the zone)
Killing everything
Killing the wasp nests first
Killing the wasp nests last


texts: How can I get a bone for a bone shiv without getting lucky with a drop?

texts:
Alpha 13 changed the game drastically and you now need a bone shiv or a hunting knife or a machete to gut animals. But you need bones from animals or as a drop from Zeds to actually get a bone shiv, which seems like a catch 22 problem.

How can I get a bone without relying on a drop?


texts: My Doctor became a consultant before completing his training and now he won't sit and be taught anymore

texts:
In Theme Hospital, I have two doctors and a training room.

One doctor is a Consultant Surgeon and the other is just a doctor.

The consultant was training the Doctor to become a surgeon, however, the doctor became a consultant before finishing his surgeon training (it is stuck at 81%).

Now whenever I put the two consultants in the training room (one Surgeon, one not) one of them starts teaching and the other leaves.

How can I make the new consultant complete his surgeon training?

Can anyone shed any light on this?


texts: Is there anything I need to install from the DVD or will the launcher patching take care of everything?

So, the Cataclysm launch is a few hours away. I have typed in the key found inside the Cataclysm manual or cover (I don't remember where it was written) so my account is now Cataclysm-ready.

I'm waiting for some patching right now, about 800MB of files to download that suddenly appeared. Note that those 800MB did not appear because I typed in the key. I typed in the key yesterday and when I launched WoW earlier today, it said it was up to date.

Is there anything I need to install from the DVD? Or will the launcher patching take care of everything for me, provided I let it download and install everything?

When killing the same kind of enemy you build up a chain and after a high enough chain it "levels up" where the drop icon changes and at high levels you can recover HP and gain status effects like Protect and Shell.

But when i was doing some grinding in the Estersands when i was killing Wolves i noticed that the chain did it's first level up at different numbers, once was on 22 and another was on 8.

so when does a Chain level up?

texts: Can I have separate profiles for two different players for a single game on the same Steam account?

texts:
My brother and I just bought MW3 and installed it with Steam and all of that, but on 2 different computers. We had to use the same steam account (mine) so that the game would load and work and not give an error saying that the CD key is already in use. I.e so that I didn't have to create another separate and new account for my brother.

But now this comes with its own problems; when I play online, my rank and achievements obviously come through on the steam account on the other PC when my bro logs in. This sucks, as we would like to rank up individually but using the same account and same game.

Is there any way to get around this so that we can each have our own separate profile for MW3?

texts: Xploder Xbox360 Minecraft Special Edition not recognising USB memory device

texts:
A couple of days ago a question was asked* regarding why the Minecraft Special Edition Xbox 360 Xploder Software will not allow them to transfer game saves on PC to the saves on Xbox 360 storage device.

The error was, as it states:

  No Xbox 360 storage connected.

The reason I brought this up, is the exact same thing is happening to my son whom purchased this Special Edition Xploder disc for the Xbox 360, and has followed the instructions to the letter.

We have two 360's and three brand new USB disks (from different manufacturers). They have been duly formatted and are recognised by both consoles. They have even been tried at a friends property on three Xbox 360s and are all recognised as having profile saves, therefore the USBs are correctly formatted and are recognized by the 360s.

The Xploder software has been loaded on to a total of three laptops and a desktop now (after each failure), and each installed correctly with no difficulties and will download the game saves.

However on each of the PCs above, it will not allow the transfer of game saves to any USB as it states that "NO XBOX 360 STORAGE CONNECTED".

The USBs are being used one at a time in each laptop and desktop with no other memory device or USB device inserted either so as to not "confuse" the software and still it does not recognise the memory device.

The failure is in the Xploder software not recognising there is a memory device connected and compatible with this software.

So if you can, I have a couple of questions:

Why doesn't the software recognise the memory device that has been correctly formatted?
Is there any way to make this software work as currently both my son and the other question's OP purchased a product that is not fit for purpose?
Is there any other way to resolve this issue?

texts: What effect increased skills for enchanting?

texts:
I've been playing skyrim and have retired.
When I played I was sure I made enchanting legendary several time.
That's because I have this super fortify enchanting potions I created with restoration glitches.
Then my daughter told me those potions, while increasing tons of stats, actually do not increase enchanting skills at all.
I look up some sources and I read this
https://en.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:Skills

Since Enchanting skill gains are based only on the number of items
enchanted, or soul gems used to recharge depleted items, leveling
Enchanting is no different the second time to the first. Even potions
of Fortify Enchant don't affect the skill gains. Stocking up on filled
soul gems and items to enchant, is what you need.

So, it seems enchanting is not like smithing. You can't make an item worth 1 million septims and increase enchanting from 15 to 100 in no time.
Am I correct? Am I missing something?
Also does enchanting an item with petty soul gems increase enchanting as much as enchanting items with grand soul gems?
Or is it just the number of "enchants" and "items" you do.
I am still pretty sured I increased enchanting easily before. I just couldn't figure out how.

texts:
I made an entire pier including a ship (one of the wrecked ship models in Skyrim) and placed them at Castle Volkihar, where the docks used to be, using "Jaxonz Positioner".

The only problem I'm having, is that my follower will neither follow me onto the pier or onto any of the ship's halves that I put back together.
Using the mod "Your Home Is My Home", I attempted to assign the ship as their home, as it has coffins in the belly of the ship. Whenever I return, my followers aren't on the ship but I would find one standing on a rock connected to the castle.

How do I get my followers to use the wooden walkway and not take another path or just stand idle?
How do I get them to remain and roam around on the ship that I added?

texts: What important differences are there between the various online game distributors?

texts:
Last weekend, I decided I was going to buy a couple of games, which I haven't done in a while.  I seem to remember a time when your choices consisted of either Steam, or... Steam.  Now there seems to be a dizzying array of choices, including:

Amazon
GamersGate
Impulse
Direct2Drive
Steam, obviously
And probably a few others that I've forgotten about.

None of these companies really seem to try very hard to explain why you should buy from them as opposed to some other distributor, so I resorted to trying (and failing) to infer it from the fine print.

Eventually I gave up on doing any actual research and just (a) tried Amazon at random, only to find that they won't sell to Canadians, then (b) tried Steam at random, only to give up after being repeatedly railed by their CAPTCHA, then finally (c) tried D2D at random and actually succeeded in making it all the way to a download.

I have no idea what I actually got myself into.  All I know is that I can play my games.  I guess that makes me exactly the sort of consumer these companies want.  Generally, I like to be a little more well-informed when it comes to purchasing.

When I choose one of these online stores, what am I actually choosing, other than price and availability?

Are these games just commodities, like the loaf of pre-packaged bread I can buy from any supermarket, or is there something about them that actually varies from one retailer to the next?  Are there any interesting tidbits I might find in the TOS, or something else that might come back to bite me later - like, maybe, being unable to play my games if I get a new PC or if the company goes belly-up?  Can some of them cut off my access one day on a whim and demand a hefty ransom?  Anything else that might be useful for me to know?

P.S. I found this question about digital distribution services but it's basically in poll format, doesn't mention a lot of the services listed above, and much of what's in there seems to be (no offense to those who answered) vague statements based on personal opinions.  I'm not looking for a list of digital distributors or recommendations, I want to actually understand my options and be able to make an intelligent decision next time I go to buy a game.


texts:
The problem: when I am downloading anything with Steam, no matter where I am or what I am connected to, it pauses the download after a few seconds.

Behavior:

Select item to download
Navigate to library -> downloads
[probz] Game is displayed "downloading", network speed listed, etc (normal behavior)
[see Picture 1 below]
After a few seconds, game stops downloading
Game is now listed as "update required (not queued)"
[see Picture 2 below]
Click "move to top of queue"
goto [probz]

Picture 1

Picture 2

I can workaround this by babysitting the "move to top of queue" button but for large games this isn't practical.

Things I have tried:

Wired connection
Using a different network (many, many different networks)
Changing Steam download server/location
Reinstalling Steam
Deleting tons of Steam files and redownloading them
Freeing up disk space
Changing download speed/limit on Steam
Stopping background programs/other internet accessors
Adding "-tcp" flag to Steam launch options
Running as administrator
Crying

This is a problem I've been having for some time and have tried many solutions (see above). I'd love to see a definitive solution to it, especially since I pretty much can't play any game > 1 gb.

OS: Windows 7 Professional, 64-bit

System: Lenovo T420 (laptop), Intel i7-2620M, 8gb ram, NVIDIA NVS 4200M

Connection: Up to 45 mpbs AT&T UVerse (usually clocks in at around 30-something)

EDIT: I would like to note that I used to work in CS (see my Stack Overflow profile), so I do know how to do things like "make sure your internet connection works", "don't let other programs hog bandwidth", and "disable background processes". Because my internet connection works perfectly for everything else I do, including high-bandwith activities (gaming, netflix, other downloading) I would guess that it is not the problem. Especially since I can workaround through queue babysitting (see above). The ONLY problem I have is with Steam, and ONLY when downloading new games.

Thanks for the suggestions so far.

I was looking at the ELeague photos, and often in them you can see a 6th player in uniform on the side.

Who is this and what can he do? Its not a 6th player (games are played 5v5), but it seems that he can communicate with the team (you can see he has a mic).
It's not a referee too, because he's in the team uniform.

So who is this guy, and what does he do?

I have a very weak frigate with only 1 star. I learned that

  ...the frigates themselves have 5-star ratings depending on their class
  and traits. It is recommended that the total star rating of your
  frigate team is at least 1 star higher than the difficulty of the
  expedition. If the team rating is equal to the expedition rating there
  is a chance that the frigates will be damaged, and if the team rating
  is lower than the expedition, frigate damage is very likely. Also note
  that lower class frigates are more likely to be damaged than higher
  class ones. If a damaged frigate continues its mission and gets
  damaged again, it will be destroyed and cannot be recovered.

Because my frigate always return damaged and only waste a lot of resources, I want to sell it or replace it with a better one.

How can I sell (or replace) a selected frigate?

In Oxygen Not Included I am stuck with coal as my power source. There is a natural gas geyser and a steam geyser on the map but both require a "tenured scientist" and I am not even close to getting a dupe at that level.

There is some oil at the bottom of the map, but from what I have learned it takes a long time and a lot of power investment (ie coal) to process the oil before it can be used as a power source. Since I have very little coal left and have been scraping the map for every ounce of it, I don't think increasing my coal expenditure would be viable.

What is the general strategy for getting out of coal?

BTW YouTube videos are not useful because they show people using geysers and not needing a tenured scientist. In the newest patch Expression, a tenured scientist is needed which is not viable for me.

texts: How to get around big fish in the well level?

texts:
I started to play Commander Keen again after I saw that you can buy it in a Dos Box on Steam. Some 21 years ago I played Commander Keen 4 and now I wanted to try that again. I finished all the levels but I cannot seem to pass the big fish:

I always get eaten by it when I try to swim around:

Therefore I guess that you cannot really get around the fish but just have to hope that it does not come to you.

The big fish is rather fast now. My memories of this level are not that precise, but I think the fish was not that agile when I was five years old.

Could this be an issue with the clock speed of the Dos Box that gives the big fish an unfair advantage over the player? Or there there some other trick to beating this level that I have not figured out yet?


texts: Pokémon Go: Thrown back to gym menu as soon as countdown ends

texts:
First of all, sorry if it has been asked already. I couldn't find anything similar, though.

I tried to attack a hostile gym and it worked fine until then. I also caught some Pokémon on my way there and collected a few Pokéstops. So my guess is, that the connection was fine. Also the GPS positioning was good and I didn't get pushed out of the gym's range.
(The gym itself was at a main station, so it's a pretty busy place.)

The issue itself:
I could select the gym, tap on fight and select my combat Pokémon and start the fight with no issues. But as soon as the countdown for the first fight ended I got thrown back to the main menu of that gym and I had to tap on the fight button again.
I haven't seen this before and it was only this one gym. There was another gym in the area, which I could use as intended (this was a friendly one, though).

Do I have to report that gym or was it just a temporary problem? If so, what kind of problem was it?

Update:
I have collected several details about this using the classic method try and error. So far I got it reproduced even without any connection issues.

Narrowed down it can be caused by:

GPS Problem (not server related)
interrupted previous fight (app crash, etc)
server issues


texts: What are the No Mans Sky base complexity limits of update 3.10?

This recent update seems to increase the limits on base complexity and possibly a larger build radius.

Richer Base Construction
Base building on next-generation consoles can reach more ambitious heights, with the ability to construct larger and more complex builds.

texts: What can I invest in with my excess of Caps?

texts:
After a few lucky nights gambling on the Strip, a successful raid on a mysterious vault, and a smattering of snow globes my Courier has acquired an excess of 100,000 bottle caps. Now that I have all of this money what can I do with it?

I had spent a few thousand caps on implants to upgrade my character, as well as purchasing all of the upgrades in the Lucky 38 Presidential Suite but I still have more caps than I know how to spend. Weapons, especially from the Gun Runners Arsenal, seem like a decent investment but most of them will end up stored in a box somewhere because I don't need that many, especially after purchasing Medicine Stick.

Are there any other money sinks in the Mojave that I can upgrade? I'd prefer purchases that offer permanent upgrades rather than buying weapons, equipment, or consumables - things I can scavenge on my own.

This question can be extended to purchases in any of the game's DLC.

Do I "learn" which combos are EX combos to make this symbol appear? If so, how do I learn them? If not, why does that symbol appear?


texts: Why can't I complete the Rangfust puzzle in the Time Machine level?

texts:
In the "Time Machine" level, I reach a point in the level where I am supposed to:

   Move a boulder in the past, to create a well in the present.

I have watched videos which show how to do this, and yet I can't do it myself.  For reference I am currently playing with the Scientist, Twins, and Time Traveler.  It seems like when I switch between characters my character in the past may be dying (as in the "poof" that occurs when the environment kills them), but I can't see how.  I am also playing on XBox 360 if that helps.

texts: COD Black Ops: Can opponents voice chat in free for all?

texts:
In a free for all match, can I voice chat with my opponents?

One of my friends started playing Black Ops (it's her first FPS game ever) and to teach her how to play I created a private free for all match so we would be the only two players on the map.

I tried voice chat with her and everything was set up correctly (we could see the speaker icon above our heads blink when either of us spoke in the map).

Only thing is I could not hear her at all (the volume was up high).

I know in TDM you can't listen to the enemy chatter due to strategy and stuff but I would guess you could listen to enemies in free for all (for trash talking).

Anyway, to repeat, is it possible to listen to enemy voice chat in FFA?


texts: how to change active character in Dungeon Siege 3?

texts:
can i change the first character when playing in local co-op mode on pc ?

just the second player can change his character when he leaves the game and joins again, then he can choose who he wants to be.

but me as the first player, i cannot change the character.

even in single player mode i am always the one i chose at the start and can just change the second one who accompanies me.

is there a way to change my active character in single player mode, so i could change it and then let the second player join and choose another one ?

i don't want to be the mage anymore and want to play the montbarron because he has way more points right now and is better in direct contact fight. second player plays the fire girl and wants to stay with it.

texts: Does progress in S.T.A.R. Labs missions count towards trophy completion?

texts:
There are several trophies in Injustice which require you to essentially perform a checklist of things with each character and/or stage. Examples are:

Superhuman - Perform every character's supermove
Around the World - Knock opponent through all transitions across all levels
Metahuman - Perform every special move of every character

The S.T.A.R. Labs missions are preselected scenarios (similar to Mortal Kombat 9's Tower challenges) in which you have to win under certain conditions. For example, in the first fight, I have to use most of Superman's special moves in order to pass the mission.

Seeing as I've now done several of Superman's special moves, does that progress count towards the Metahuman trophy? Will progress towards other things, like level transitions/interactions, supermoves, etc. made in the S.T.A.R. Labs missions count towards these trophies or not?


texts: Does the A.I cheat when performing charge attacks?

texts:
Allegation:

When I was a kid, I swore that the Capcom artificial intelligence opponent cheated on the charge attacks, both vertical and horizontal.

Evidence:

My evidence for the horizontal charging was that the computer character would walk forward (or stand while not walking backward, while I was not attacking, and thus not be blocking, ergo not be charging back), then throw the charged attack in far less that the 2 seconds that would have required a human player to be holding back. The vertical charging discrepancy was not conclusively proven in my mind, but I think such cheating would be equally likely as the horizontal charging.

Possibilities:

I think the possibilities in terms of increasing complexity (and thus perhaps decreasing likelihood, based on Occam's Razor.)

The computer had a simple timer that prevented throwing the attack more than 2 seconds apart.
The computer has a directional key model, was carrying out the attacks with perfect charge timing, and I am simply wrong (but I doubt it!)
The computer had a disconnected directional key model allowing it to simultaneously press forward and back.
The computer would initially follow the rules (for easy difficulty levels) and begin to break them to increase the difficulty level.

Question:

Does the computer AI player cheat? What is the truth, and has this ever been proven?


texts: Is it normal that the amount of experience needed to level up is not the same between the pyromancer and the pirate class?

texts:
I am currently playing Hero Siege in Multiplayer Local and we face an issue. The Pyromancer's level is different than the Pirate's level.

We start the game at level 1 together.
We play strictly together.
The Pirate does not seem to own an item to increase experience gain.
We note the cap around the level 30~.
The difference increases at each level.
We mostly don't die.
We play in Nightmare.
We play on Steam.
Steam says the the game is updated.

Current level:

The Pirate's cap to the level 39 is 50.3k.

The Pyromancer's cap to the level 35 is 74k.

The problem is troublesome because we find more and more items cap for the level 37 and higher. The pyromancer starts to be out of league. Is it a normal behavior? What can we do to mitigate this.

Note that I copy/paste this question on steam. I will update this post if I get an update there.


texts: Where can I get reliable offline drivers for a PS3 Controller?

texts:
I know of two driver/software combos that allow me to use my PS3 controller as a PC gamepad:

MotionInJoy - I am using this right now but I have an older version which I was able to install and use without an internet connection. (I've unfortunately lost the instructions on how to do it again so I can only get it to work on my main computer and not my laptop)
SIXAXIS - Which is easier to use offline and easier to install, but I have to run a batch file every time the controller disconnects. It's not as robust as MotionInJoy, as it doesn't allow me to remap the buttons to key-presses (which is annoying, as some games such as Melty Blood don't seem to recognize some of the input values)

So I'm wondering if there is any other PS3 Controller Drivers out there which I can install offline and are more reliable.

I don't care if they are digitally signed or not since I can disable that dam system in Windows 7 easily enough.

I mainly use the controller for the following games:

Melty Blood
ePSXE (for playing Games incompatible with the PS3 like Final Fantasy 8)
Kamidori Alchemy Miester (never got a controller to work for it but would love to have one)
Megaman X3 PC


texts: How does Height play into hostile mob spawns?

texts:
The Minecraft Wiki Spawn page goes into great detail about how hostile mobs spawn. But it omits details about how height plays into common spawns. It DOES mention how slimes require the chunks they spawn in to be at a certain height level, but I'm more concerned with how the rest of the common hostile mobs spawn. (Namely Zombies, Creepers, Skeletons and Spiders)

To clarify a bit:

  Mobs spawn naturally within a 15x15 chunk (240x240 block) area around the player.

Ok, well, thats simple enough, one chunk is a 16x16 block centered on the player, got it.
But, thats a two dimensional measurement, and this is a VERY three dimensional game. Is height irrelavent in such spawning mathmatics? If so, wouldn't that mean that I could be at sea level, with a dark cavern at bedrock beneath me, and have some of the mobs I want to slay spawn all the way at bedrock rather than at the same height I am?

Or even more prevalent, (and the main reason behind the question reveals itself) I have a monster grinding tower that I've built. The tower currently has 6 floors with each floor boasting a 2 block high space for the mobs to spawn in. If you include an extra block for the actual 'floor' of each level of the tower, that makes 18 blocks high. Now if I'm near enough and far enough (as the reqs require for spawning) to and from from the tower for mobs to spawn inside of it, how (if at all) will the different high levels of the tower affect my spawn rates inside each floor?

texts: With proper aim can an Ambassador always one-shot a sniper?

texts:
I'm working on my Skullpluggery achievement for Spy. For a while I thought it was straight-forward -- just point, pause (for accuracy), and fire. Worked everytime, until lately, where my lucky streak (as it would turn out to be such) ended. Now it's hit or miss (no pun intended) whether the headshot succeeds.

Either:

The headshot doesn't register as a headshot at all (no crit), though clearly (on my screen) I was pointing directly at their head, both sniper and myself stationary.
The headshot registers as a headshot (crit), but only takes the sniper down to about 20% HP, even having not likely been in an overhealed state given how long I was stalking.

I've now gotten suspicious of factors such as angle of attack, distance from target, duration of pause (to reach maximal accuracy), etc.; but these are just suspicions.

Are there any techniques to guarantee a single headshot kill (with the Ambassador) vs. a sniper? or will this always be limited by chance (random variables) in the game?

(Assume a stationary, non-overhealed sniper.)

texts: Does Skyrim require grinding and following build guides to play it well?

texts:
I just got Skyrim for Xbox 360. Reading about it online I came across articles saying not to complete the mage quests until after level 25 or you'll waste the items they give you. Now I'm worried this game is going to be work to play.

I just want to play the game naturally, to enjoy the deep story and not think about things like optimising my character, but I don't know if Skyrim will let me do that. Will I be able to play through the game without planning character development and grinding, or will it make me regret ignoring those things if I want to advance enough to finish it?

So specifically:

Is it possible to just play the game for the fun of it without paying any attention to things like online skill builders, quest guides, etc.?
Do I have to pay careful attention and plan out my gameplay?
If I continue playing without looking up any advice/info online will my negligence catch up with me and make me need to do a lot of grinding/buying/etc. to advance past a certain point?

texts:
Now I have been searching a while now for an answer to this question. One particularly helpful site was this: LINK

However, all this site told me was that:

  Mann Co. Supply Crates and other usable items drop on a separate
  timer, meaning that these items do not affect the interval between
  regular drops.

So, I followed a link to this site: LINK

However, I looked at the wikia page's contents, but there was nothing stated about the drop rate for crates. I am referring to different types of crates too, not just normal ones.

With the new update, Munitions crates #82 and #83 have been added into the game. Do these crates have a different drop rate compared to other crates. In addition, the Strongbox crate, #81, went 'rare' on the 27 of February. How rare is 'rare'? Salvage crate rare?

In other words, I would like to know how the drop rates for the following crates work:

Standard Crate
Series #81 – Mann Co. Strongbox Crate
Summer, Fall etc. cooler Crates
Salvage Crates: #30, #40, #50

texts: Make sure Duchy I give is the main title of Vassal

texts:
This is a situation that I didn't quite feel was completely covered in a lot of what I've read. My current situation is that I'm the King of Brittany and can usurp France as soon as the poor bastard is as peace. My second son is betrothed to the Duchess of Champagne iirc.

He will inherit a county from me (even though inheritance is primogeniture) - I assume this is because a ducal title is gavelkind. I'm wanting to grant a duchy to this line so that I can pull the Duchy of Champagne into my realm.

My thoughts on the situation:

How do I make sure it's the primary title, so that I get the duchy of champagne as well?
Should I give it to his son instead of him (after the marriage happens), and then kill all his other sons?

My goal is Empire of Frankia obviously, this is a 769 start as the Count of Leon in Brittany and it's now the 1180s.

Basing it on this, I'm not sure if I should be completing everything today or will have time tomorrow as well with an hourly countdown replacing the days countdown late tonight.

texts: How to start the Morgan's Spiral quest chain?

texts:
There is a jump puzzle in Morgan's spiral, but it can only be activated while the tower is "in bloom". However, many risen party poopers seem to have for sole purpose the destruction of the tower, making the puzzle impossible to complete (in fact, impossible to start). There is a series of events, however, nearby which involves escorting someone to the tower, allowing him to heal it, and defending said tower against undead.

Due to the time of day at which I play, the tower is almost always destroyed when I get there. However, despite searching online and asking other players, I cannot seem to find out how to start the quest chain to heal the tower, hence my question.

Who do I need to talk to in order to initiate this quest chain?
Is there something specific that needs to happen in order to start the chain?

Edit: I should specify that I know the first event in the chain is called Escort Brugh to Morgan's Spiral, but what I don't know is how to initiate that quest or the conditions that need to be satisfied to initiate it.

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

texts:
[Clarification after some of the answers given below:  Specifically, the sound is a "thwap" "thwap" type of sound, repeated at irregular intervals.  I have found 5 different mob spawners in my world, and have checked for the sound on peaceful and non-peaceful modes.  The only places near my spawners and areas that I have completely cleared out that I hear the "spawner noise" is in a radius around the spawner.  I hadn't done the experiment to determine range, figuring this was common knowledge.  The initial answers below, lead me to believe it is not, or that I have a unique install.]

I have a long (1Km) minecart track, and I'm astonished at how many mob spawners I hear as I move along it.  I'd like to find them, but have been unsuccessful in my searches.  I suppose I could carve out a 17x17x17 region around my location.  Seems excessive.  Looking for something better.

Questions:

On the wiki, I have found no indication as to the range at which a spanwer makes noise.  Is it 17m Euclidean?  (That is the activation range.)

Does the noise change as a function of range?

An obvious approach to finding them, once the range is known, would be to move around to several different places that are "on the edge" of the "noise envelope" and then find the center (using F3 and the coordinates therein).  Is there a better approach?

[Note: I have tried to use fraps and other tools to record these sounds.  There appears to be issues with some installs of Windoze XP and use of these tools to record sounds.  Can't figure out how to record sound.  Any help appreciated.]

A while ago I bought a PS3 super slim 12Gb, and I intended to put a 120Gb SSD (a Samsung 840 EVO) inside it.

In reality my PS3 died, no sign of life other that a light, nothing on the screen, no loading noises not even a fan.

So where did I go wrong? It's the first time I've ever done this and all I've read and watched are pretty light on the pre installation details.

Do I need to format to FAT32 first and partition the drive? Is there a step I've missed, or will the drive simply remain a console killer for life and need putting away?


texts: Is there a way for me to set up an autoclicker on xbox one?

texts:
I Play Bedrock Minecraft on Xbox One and no mater what any video says, you can NOT make a working afk Fish farm on bedrock with out an auto clicker. I've tried the rubber band technique and it wont work as you need to press it down multiple times for the rod to register. Its infuriating and i was wondering if you have any ideas. Also Im wondering if I could try plugging my iPhone in and coding a program to click it every so often. Any ideas where to start on that?
Any and all help would be welcome.


texts: What are the various technicians and their effects?

texts:
Update 1.5.0 of Sky Force Reloaded added prestige points (a kind of "achievement points" that you get for your accumulated totals of kills, rescues and other metrics). Get enough of these and they in turn start unlocking technicians, that grant you some benefit while playing, and can be swapped out at the start of the mission similar to how planes can be.

What are the various technicians that can be unlocked and what effects do they have?


texts: Is there a way to get all items off a merchant before I kill them in Fallout: New Vegas?

texts:
Sorry for my poor English. I live in non English-speaking country.

It seems that all items in the merchant's stock disappear when I kill him/her, so I can only obtain what's in his/her pocket.

Of course, if I buy all items from the merchant before the slaughter, I can get not only all items but also the caps I used to buy those stuffs. However, I can't buy all items because they are too expensive.

(For example, Gloria Van Graff sells lots of things from GRA, and GRA's stuffs costs me a fortune.)

Is there a way to get all items of merchant before I kill him/her not using console commands?

texts: Why is everybody suddenly on good terms with Grom Hellscream?

texts:
At the start of Warlords of Draenor, we find out Grom Hellscream is the leader of the Iron Horde and he is bent on conquering all of Draenor and any other land he can reach.  In fact, most of our questing experience is seeing how the Iron Horde has assimilated the orc tribes and devastated the lives of everyone else living there, under the orders of Grom.

Then, at the end of the legendary ring chain in 6.1 we watch as Guldan seizes control of the Iron Horde and Grom is captured.

In Hellfire Citadel, we free him and he shows up in the fight against Archimonde.  However, after Archimonde is defeated, we see Durotan, Yrel, and Khadgar all celebrating alongside Grom, and all their animosity seems to have vanished.

Why has everybody suddenly forgiven Grom as if the events prior to 6.2 never happened?

While inspecting a laboratory in the first mansion I saw some gold mice. Remembering how they gave tons of money in the first game, I eagerly vacuumed them up; 4 of them in one room. I don't believe any escaped. However I got no treasure.

Are gold mice just normal enemies now or is there something special to them still?

texts: xbox 360, unrecognized disk error 03-57-00

texts:
I got an error message from my xbox 360. 03-57-00.

I followed the recommendations given by xbox. Now I was attempting to play a disk that I had played earlier and left in the machine.

When I returned I had the error code "unrecognized disk error: 03-57-00". I checked and cleaned the disk I had been using. Still I received the  same error code again. I tried another 3 disks, but with no success. Even cleaning with a lens cleaner did not help. I unplugged the Skylanders portal and the Disney 3.0 portal as well as both controllers. Again, I got the same error code.

At this point I opened the disk tray. I then made a note of which way the title was facing. I attempted to run the disk again, but I got the same error code. However I noticed that the title of the disk was in the same spot from when I closed the disk tray. I tried this several more times. Each time the disk title stayed in the same spot.

I did this again with two other disks. Same result. I also had unplugged everything from USB ports.

So the question I have is this: What else can I do to get around this error message? Or does this sound like the motor that turns the disk gave out? I really need to know. Thank you for your time and effort to help me.

texts: Why's a ship more likely to be torpedoed if it turns out, rather than in?

texts:
I read about other benefits to turning into torpedoes; if you turn away, you may oversteer while dodging torpedoes that are chasing you from behind and you may fail to dodge IJN CV torpedoes that converge. But I ask only about the question in the title.

TugboatJD commented:

  The other reason is that if you turn out, your odds of taking more torpedoes than you would if you turned in are pretty high.

Roflkopt3r commented:

  Let's take this situation.
  For a torpedo to hit you, it needs to occupy the same X and Y-coordinates as you[r] ship.

  Staying broadside means that you maximise your length along the Y-axis, so many torpedoes can hit you at once. You want to dodge left or right to minimise your profile along the Y-axis, decreasing the chance that a torpedo will intersect you along that axis.
  If you steer away from the torpedoes, you move into the same X-direction as the torpedoes. This means that you spend a very long time on the same X coordinates as the torps, and therefore there is a very long time in which the torpedoes can hit you. In the worst case scenario, you can get hit by every single torpedo in a salvo by catching them one after the other, because you spend so much time on the same height as the torpedoes.
  If you steer into the torpedoes, you minimise the time in which you occupy the same X-coordinates as the torps, therefore there is only a very short time at which they can hit you.

I still can't grok why turning into torpedoes is necessarily safer. See the pictures modified by me, in ian9167's comment beneath.

If I turn left but choose 'Stop' as my speed, wouldn't only #1 hit? I might've slowed enough that #2 (diverging as time passes) will pass ahead.

If I turn right, I must pick 'Full' as my speed (or else my ship will sit broadside and be torpedoed by 1 and 2). But then wouldn't both 1 and 2 hit me?

  As you turn away, you increase the distance to the enemy torps, while still travelling into the "danger zone". Thus giving them more time to travel and hit you as shown by my next level paint illustration. Go right and get hit by 2. Go left get hit by 3.

  Equally however you can outrun slow torps by slightly turning out of them - it depends on the situation! But pretty much always turn into carrier torps.

Useful in a way, but sometimes I want to upload multiple screenshots from the past and I end up taking multiple useless screenshots of nothing trying to do this.

I'm pretty sure I didn't drop it or anything else like that, but I guess it's possible. So my question is, if I go to my oldest autosave and it's still missing, am I able to go back to a more recent save? I don't want to lose more stuff.

If anyone else can suggest what my options are, I'd appreciate it.

texts: How do you enable pinball arcade season pass on ps3

texts:
I just bought "Pinball Arcade Season Two Pass" and I also received the email confirmation from PSN. But when I start up the game all the tables in season 2 are still locked. If I go to "My tables" I only have the 4 core tables; "Black Hole", "Ripley's Believe It or Not", "Tales of the Arabian Nights" and "Theatre of Magic". This is what I have tried so far, none of them worked:

Buying season two pass from within the game. Here I can only select "Rate" and "Recommend", not "Buy"
Downloading the package from PSN. When I press "Download" on the package page the screen goes black for a second and then returns to the package page. I suspect that this might be the cause of my issue.
Re-installing the game. Here the game immediately starts to download from PSN when I press "Download" as opposed to when I tried downloading the package alone.
Restarting the PS3.
Searching through the game options for any possible "unlock" feature

In addition, when I try and browse the season 5 tables from within the game I am told "All currently available tables purchased", yet on PSN I can buy the season five pass as if I did not own them. Am I missing something obvious here - is the game broken somehow or is it an issue with PSN? How hard can it be to buy a simple update for a PS3 game?

Does it really make you appear offline so that friends can't see these pop-ups whenever I start playing a game? Also, is there a notification that tells them I have blocked them?

I've bought a copy of 1701 Gold Edition. It installed fine on my main account, an administrator account with UAC. But when my son tries on his non admin account, the trees are drawn wrong! Really big and sheared - making it impossible to play.
