texts: Marvel Guardians of the Galaxy: The Universal Weapon - Collection Rewards

texts: What is the deal with the rewards for completing collections? Whenever you reach a certain step (25%, 50%, 75%, 100%) of a collection you see the info window showing a reward (crystals in different color and size). But even if I complete a collection I never receive anything. What's the point in collecting all items then?

texts: Can I break the fall of an Enderman with water?

texts:
I am planning on building an XP farm and I am wondering which route to choose.

I have the basic setup figured out, I am going to use gravity as main transportation. There will be a tunnel from where I am standing 30 blocks up. Above that the main spawning cubes will be.

To make this as simple as possible I want to just let them fall from above. 5 blocks above the ground I want to make a 4 high - 2 wide layer of water where mobs will fall in. I bet this will break their fall and they will reach the ground only with minor damage so there are easy to kill. To make the Enderman a little easier to kill I will have a crusher using sticky pistons on the 3the 3th block.

Main Question:

I am wondering if the Enderman will TP away when they reach the 4 high area of water, my main guess is that they will.

Else I would have to break the fall each 4 blocks or so. A lot more works as I would have to work with open trap doors and pistons.

texts:
I am completely unfamiliar with this command, but I want to know how to use it.

Normally all I have to do is type /[example] and then press tab, and a bunch of options will show up. For an example, when I do /particle [tab] then a lot of particle effects will pop up. But it does nothing when I try the /playsound command. Is there something I need to add to a folder or something?

Also, I don't completely understand the rest of the command either. Please help me.

I was watching some funny Garry's Mod Idiot Box episodes on YouTube.  In episode 3 at 5:41 is a scene that has sone music being played in the background.  What game is from? It sounds so familiar to me, but I can't put a name to it.  It vaguely reminds of an old N64 game.

The video below starts at 5:41, right where the music is heard.

texts: Is it safe to store my weapons in the chest at High Hrothgar? Not for too long, though. Just long enough to sell off my Dragon Bones and Dragon Scales.

And if you say a house is best, well, I'm selling the bones and scales so I can BUY a house later on. But please let me know of any safe places readily available until I can afford a house. Thank you.


texts:
So I recently asked a question about restricting which biomes appear in my world and I was wondering if there was a system or something similar that determined which biomes spawned in which order.

For example, Swamp biomes only seem to spawn between either Plains/Forest biomes, and Ocean biomes. Whereas Savannah biomes only seem to spawn close to Desert (and possibly Mesa) biomes.

Is there a system that determines where each biomes spawn? If so, what is it?


texts: How can I set up a bind that mutes voice chat and says something to my teammates?

texts:
I'm trying to create a bind to mute the voice chat, but also tell in chat whether I muted them or not. The only information I can find on toggling is the toggle commands:
bind <key> <command> 0 1

I tried doing bind k "toggle voice_enable;say Silent Mode: " "on" "off", but it did not work.

So I want this (bind k "toggle voice_enable;) to say one of these two messages:

"say -*- Silent Mode -*- Player(s) Muted "

and

"say -*- Silent Mode -*- Player(s) Un-Muted "

How can I do it?


texts: Can trapping one goblin prevent all spawns in a biome?

texts:
I had an interesting thought while browsing the terraria wikis. It claims that the goblin army blocks biome spawns. Could someone lure a goblin into a hole and trap it to avoid  fighting any enemies in that biome?

If so, will it work in the corruption for farming The Eater of Worlds (or any other biome restricted boss) without having to deal with that biome's mobs during the fight?

any evidence (like a screenshot/code) would be appreciated.


texts: Why do Master Balls "almost always" have a legendary Pokemon in them?

texts:
In one of the tooltips in game, it says that Master Balls almost always summon a legendary Pokemon into battle.

What does it mean "almost always"? I've tested it so far, and I've consistently gotten Arceus, Kyurem, Entei, and other Legendary Pokemon, and haven't seen anything out of the ordinary.  Is there a list of Pokemon for the Master Ball or something?

Is it possible to view my previously completed goals? Or are they gone entirely once I've leveled up?


texts:
This always struck me as a major plot hole in the original game. The facts were established:

Cloud has Jenova cells in him and mako conditioning. This gives him strength and regenerative abilities
Cloud stole Zack's identity
Cloud was a grunt, not even a low level SOLDIER
Cloud was incapacitated and only had a few months to recover before the events of the game

None of these seem to be strong arguments towards Cloud learning any actual fighting ability. One could argue that he was influenced by Zack or Zack taught him a few things, but this does not substitute for the type of training say Zack received in SOLDIER. Furthermore, Cloud fought with convincing ability. Though none of the members in AVALANCHE probably knew what an actual SOLDIER's capabilities were, Cloud seems to have no issues fighting, not even against low level SOLDIERS when they raid Shinra HQ.

Is there any canon that establishes how Cloud learned to fight?


texts: How to reliably refill incendiary or other grenades?

texts:
When running challenging missions, or daily hard missions I tend to run out of grenades after 1-2 missions. I rely on stun or incendiary grenades for CC. I know only of the home base restock function that does not suffice.

Are there other functions in the game to quickly refill grenades, besides random drops, such as stun or incendiary that are not found in restock boxes?


texts: How should I spend souls to improve my pyromancer?

texts:
I'm playing as a pyromancer in Dark Souls and am still near the beginning of the game (In the Depths). However, I'm not really sure how to improve my character whenever I get a lot of souls (10k+ or so) from defeating a boss.

Should I level up and which attributes should I level? I mostly put them towards Vitality and Endurance, but it doesn't seem to help much (I'm around level 20 or so now).

I've seen suggestions about putting it towards gear, though what I find usually isn't any better than what I have now. I've upgraded my original axe a few times, although I think it's probably not a great weapon, but I haven't found anything with better damage yet.

I'm always tempted when I get a lot of souls to spend them immediately on levelling up rather than risk losing them. Am I making a mistake? How do I improve my chances in the game?

Does upgrading my horse give me any actual benefits?


texts: Do giant rings still appear after collecting all 7 Chaos Emeralds?

texts:
According to Polygon, Sonic Mania has at least 32 giant rings hidden throughout the game's 12 zones. A skilled player could collect all 7 emeralds before even finishing Studiopolis Zone.

What would happen if I found a giant ring after collecting all 7 Chaos Emeralds?

Would the remaining giant rings still appear? Or would they all despawn after every emerald had been collected?

I have an ASUS X53S with GT540M. Recently, I bougt a BenQ Xl2411T (which says nvidia 3D vision ready) and nvidia 3D glasses.

According to the short install manual, there should be item for stereoscopic 3D in the nvidia control panel, but I can't find it.

Is there something more that needs to be done, except install latest nvidia drivers (from nvidia / 3Dupdate) ? Or does this Asus model not support 3D glasses?

I'm starting suspecting that's because of two video adapters - NVIDIA GeForce GT 540M and Inter HD Graphics 3000.
Is there a way how to disable build in (Intel Graphic) adapter?

texts: What achievements changed with the release of 3.0?

texts:
The release of the 3.0 Fall of Oriath expansion removed difficulty levels and achievements previously related to beating the game in higher difficulties got changed into different achievements.

Which achievements turned into which new achievements?

I know I now have Deicide (kill a god and obtain their power), and apparently achieved it in december 2016, but I most certainly did not do that yet, and most certainly not back in December, half a year before the expansion was even released...

Other achievements that I got that were most certainly changed:

Deadly Sins
Omnipotent
Loyal to the End

There might be others I have, but it's been a long time so I don't remember exactly what happened where in the story.

texts: Lost in Pokemon Alpha Sapphire Delta Episode after not playing for months

texts:
I stopped playing ORAS after I'd beaten the Elite 4 last year as I went overseas. I've started playing again and the last thing I remember doing is watching the rocket think at Mossdeep Space Centre.

Thing is I'm kind of stuck as I want to finish the Delta episode so that I can get to the Battle Resort. I've looked at 3 or 4 different walkthroughs and have tried to pinpoint at what point I'm up to in the Delta episode by going to various places along the steps, but nothing is happening. I don't have the SS tickets so I'm assuming I haven't finished the episode (and I haven't caught Rayquazza).

Could anyone possible help me figure out where I'm up to? This is driving me mad!

I have one of the Johto starters from the professor

Its the only thing I could progress with by myself and that was an accident.

I can't find my rival, Wally, Stephen, or any of Team Aqua.

Here's what I've done following the guides for the Delta episode:

Littleroot Town - Tickets are in inventory
Petalburg City - Fairly sure I've done this, can't find Wally or Admin Matt, and I think I remember getting the phone call off Stephen.
Rustboro City Fairly certain I've done this too. The Devon CEO just has a generic speech dialogue.
Granite Cave - Zinnia's not there.
Mossdeep City - Meteorite shard is not in my inventory, and I can't enter Mission Control. It's guarded by a woman saying "I'm sorry, we're in the middle of something and I can't let you upstairs." No Team Aqua grunts around.
Meteor Falls - I've explored the whole falls including the top area with Waterfall/Surf. No one is at the very top where I'm meant to find Stephen.
Rustboro City - No Team Aqua/Scientist trigger when I try to enter Devon Corp.
Mossdeep City - Same for Space Center
Team Magma/Aqua Hideout - Zinnia and the admins aren't there. Just wander through nothing happens no one battles
Mossdeep City & Route 131 Wallace isn't at the Cave of Origin's entrance, and not at the Sky Pillar entrance. Sky Pillar has the regular guard.


texts: How does Trail of Cinders work (both 1.04 and 1.05)

texts:
Possible Duplicate:
  How is skill damage calculated based on weapon damage?

In 1.04, Trail of Cinders does 1500% over 3 seconds.  Some say that this does not reset SharpShooter. What Skills don't reset Sharpshooter

So when calculating the 1500% does it just take your Weapon Damage?
Does that include your Dex modifiers?
Can Trail of Cinders do Crits?

Now with 1.05 Trail of Cinders will only do 300% but stackable.  Does anyone know if the any of the above change also (Weapon Damage vs DPS, Crit Chance)?

Ps- If someone wants to edit this post to add the popups go ahead, or if you can leave me direction on how to do it .


texts: How can I get easy Plane kills in Battlefield 3?

texts:
I am now level 10 on battlefield 3, but have yet to get any plane points. I can fly fine,
but without the first unlock - Flares. The first time someone locks missiles on to me I'm a deadman flying.

I've machine gunned tanks, planes, but been very unsuccessful, they dont die.
I even flew into another plane: It counted as a kill for me! Despite this I am currently on 10/300 to unlocking flares. And flares still only keep me alive longer, allowing me to machine-gun more. It would be nice if I could get some heat seekers myself.

Currently I take off, and someone else will either shoot me down before I leave the runway, or take me out in the air. Sometimes someone will lock on from ground, and down I go. I have no chance of killing something, as it takes too long.

How can I rack up the 3-5 kills I need to unlock flares so that I can live a bit longer?

In Star Conflict, you can sign a contract with a faction.

The UI does not describe what exactly the benefits are. Also, it gives you a warning that it terminates all current contracts, even though I am only a member of the Empire.

So the questions related to this are:

Is a contract additionally to the membership in one of the 3 main factions?
What benefits do I gain from signing a contract?


texts: Do critical shots affect legendary effects?

texts:

texts: Why would you ever attempt to outrun a ship before or during a fight? (should you always take a blue option)

texts:
My "strategy" in FTL is Yes. Always accept any options other than ones that can a) lose you a crew member when you are low (Giant Spiders), or b) fight a ship if your hull is almost depleted, and also to always take the blue option when offered.

Sometimes though you get a blue option to avoid a fight (attempt to outrun it etc.).

If you are confident you have a strong ship, what are the reasons, other than possibly taking damage, that you would want to hide or outrun an enemy ship rather than engage them?

texts: For bachelors and bachelorettes, is 8 hearts or 10 hearts considered "maxed-out friendship levels"?

texts:
Version 1.07 introduced a change where friendship levels that have been "maxed-out" no longer decay. For the marriage-eligible villagers, the last two hearts are disabled until you give them a bouquet. Do you need to give each of them a bouquet and then get them to 10 hearts or is 8 hearts and no bouquet sufficient to prevent friendship from decaying?

I'm guessing that since your spouse doesn't like you giving gifts to the marriage-eligible candidates after you're married, you'd have to get those villagers to 10 hearts before you're married, if the decay didn't stop at 10 hearts.


texts: How to permanently raise/lower Bravery/Faith stats in Final Fantasy Tactics: War of the Lions?

texts:
I've recently started playing FFT: WotL on iOS, and learned from the wiki sites that the Bravery and Faith stats determine various important factors in combat (frequency of reaction commands, effectiveness of spells, etc) and how Ramza's "Steel" ability can raise someone else's Bravery, but the effect of that ability doesn't seem to last after combat.

However, I have been keeping track of some of my characters' Bravery/Faith stats and they do change from time to time, but so far I haven't really found rhyme or reason to it.

Are there any guides that explain whether it's possible to permanently raise the Bravery stat, and if so, how?

texts:
I've been playing Borderlands 2 on Xbox recently (havent played the first yet) and am wondering how the save game works.

If I hit Start and select Save and Quit from the menu then load my game again later it always returns me to the start of the level, meaning I have to go through and fight the same enemies again to get back up to where I originally saved. However, all my characters stats and items are saved.

Is the save meant to happen this way? I would have thought you would have loaded at the closest New-U machine rather then all the way back to the start of the level

texts:
I am getting slightly peculiar graphics in Far Cry 3.  It looks rather like there is some colour quantisation going on - the shadows are pitch black, and change to lighter colours abruptly.  This is particularly noticeable is dark areas like caves, where it looks almost like an old 16bit colour game (although not that extreme).

I have also noticed it on faces, where there are quite clear contours between colour shades.  At the same time, some of the lighter areas are too light, e.g. the beach sand is amost completely white.  I have tried tweaking all the calibration settings, but nothing seems to get rid of it.  Has anyone else noticed this effect, or have any suggestions of what I can try to get rid of it?  I have a 24" Samsung HD LED monitor, and a radeon HD 7850 graphics card.  Other games look great, so I'm pretty sure its some setting in this game.

Edit:  Here's a screenshot showing what I mean:

Once, when the building is finished. This way, a city with gold output of 20 gets additional 5 gold per turn bonus that stays equal to 5 til the end of the game.
The bonus is recalculated as the game progresses, and cumulates additively. This way, the city always gets the bonus of 25%. If another building is created with the same 25% boost, the total boost is equal to 50%.
The bonus is recalculated as the game progresses, and cumulates multiplicatively. If another building is created with the same 25% boost, the total boost is equal to (1.25 * 1.25 = 1.5625, so 56.25% total boost).

Thank you for your time.


texts: Is it suggested to exchange 1- and 2-star (and even 3-star) Orbs to at least 3 or 4 star orbs asap?

texts: Once you get to a certain point in the game you more or less stop getting 1 star orbs and start getting mostly 2 and 3 star orbs with the occasional 4 and 5 star orbs. For example I see it is suggested to get Ruinga early on. I do not have 3 4-star Dark Orbs but I do have 30+ 3-star Dark Orbs. I also have more than a few 1-star orbs that I have not used. Is it worth just upgrading them immediately to get the ability or should I just wait until I have to appropriate materials and exchanging is more a personal preference?


texts: What does Herald's affinity chart mean by "Use a Special"?

texts: I have gotten a rare blade named Herald. Both her unique field skill, and her key affinity rewards, require her to "Use a Special" a certain amount of times for each unlock. I've gotten into battles where I use blade combos, driver arts, driver combos, and every level of blade art, yet I've only gotten 1 out of 11 progress completed, and I don't know what triggered it. So what exactly does special refer to in this case?


texts: How to transfer Dark Souls 1 progress to steam?

texts:
Is it possible to transfer Dark Souls 1 progress/profile/charactes to steam?

I used to play in a standalone Dark Souls aplication (PC), but it has problem with online gameplay. I realy love the game and since there is a sale on steam would like to buy it there. But it would be really sad to lose all the progress and startover. I found something like a profile file here

c:\Users\ME\Documents\DarkSouls\Player1\DRAKS0005.sl2

so I wonder may be I can copy it to a steam darksoul folder and this will work? Or there is any other way to transfer my progress? Has anyone done anything like this with steam games?


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

texts:
I read somewhere that staying level 1, and refusing to enter the level up screen, would allow you to get every perk.

I think the logic was something like... the game doesn't increase required experience for gaining skill levels until you take the level-up.

At first this seemed true, every sneak attack I landed raised me one full level in sneak, getting 100 right away. But grinding alchemy from 99-100 clearly doesn't have the same requirements as going from 01-02. So the game still seems to be keeping track of my levels.

If that's the case, can you really get every perk? Is there any advantage in refusing to level up, aside from easier enemies?

texts: How can I reliably place C4 on my enemies?

texts:
Snake's down special has him placing C4 on the ground that he can detonate by doing his down special again. I have seen it be placed on enemies before, and I have done it myself, but I can not do it consistently. Sometimes I will place it accidentally on an enemy while other times I will try to and not succeed.

The wiki says that you just need to be near to them to do it, but I feel that there is more to it, at least to doing it consistently.

texts: Minecraft command block: allow user on server to spawn one animal (per user)

texts:
I'd like to create a quest where a user can activate a command block that will spawn one ocelot, but limit it so that each player can activate said command only once.

I've got the command to spawn one ocelot, which is:

/summon ocelot ~ ~1 ~ {PersistenceRequired:1}

but I don't know how to limit it so that each player can only do it only once. I found the solution to something similar, but I don't know how to integrate that into spawning animals rather than giving items.

TL;DR: How would I use a command block to allow each player to summon an ocelot only once?

I was talking to the fellas at the office about how my nephew is really into Guitar Hero, and that I was considering picking up the game for myself. Then they told me about Rock Band. Wow... drums and all!

Anyway, I've decided that I must get in to this game. I know I can just go to K-Mart, buy a Wii or something, then the Rock Band starter pack or whatever, but I've heard that's just the beginning.  I was completely overwhelmed by a Google search, so I was hoping you could help.

Once I pick the console system, how should I decide what Rock Band equipment to invest in?

I would really love to hear stuff like... the types of equipment available (like pro quality versus kids toys), which manufacturers to avoid, do you really get what you pay for, etc...

To elaborate a little, suppose spell A deals 100 damage over 10 seconds and spell B deals 200 damage over 10 seconds. I cast spell A, and after 5 seconds I cast spell B. What is the expected behaviour?

What is the behaviour if I cast spell B instead of spell A and vice-versa?

texts: "Serious Sam" achievement (Serious Sam Bogus Detour)

texts: I'm trying to get the achievement for actually beating the game (The "Serious Sam" achievement), but I'm not sure about the actual requirements. Do I have to beat the game completely unmodified (game switches, not mods), or do I have to beat every level in a save file? I played on a save file onto the last level, but I screwed up and ran out of time, and had to restart the level. I quit the game for a while, and when I came back my save file had corrupted. I was not willing to restart the entire game, so I restarted the final level. I beat it, but I got no achievement. My problem is that I'm not sure if this is because I had game switches turned on, or if It's because I hadn't beaten every level on that save file I actually beat the game on. I've been looking all over the wiki, and I can't find the actual info I need.

Jade's charge ability

Are there hotkeys for these actions? It's nearly pointless getting them as it is since I almost always die when I have to stop to activate the ability.

Note: this is for the pc version of the game.

This is the N-th time I've tried to beat Diablo 2, and it's happening all over again.

I'm a Paladin at lvl 28, ripped through the game without much difficulty until Chaos Sanctuary. As soon as I release the 5th seal there, a bunch of lightning-fast Venom Lords spawn and kill me with one-two hits (an my merc along with me). I opened a portal beforehand so I just grabbed a few spare items from my chest and when I returned to just loot my corpse real quick, portal back and re-supply, I was killed again - in one hit.

Now, why does this happen and what am I supposed to do now (portal gone, butt-naked and no decent stuff in pandemonium fortress' shops)?

My questions:

Is this actually a priest corpse?
What alignment will he be if I revive him?
Would the temple still be considered a temple?
How will the watchman act if I revive him?

Do the guards always tell you the good stuff first? If they do, how does the game determine what order to dish out the details?

texts: How to keep sentries and templars in the center of death balll?

texts:
Couple of posts about sentries usages (Effective use of Sentry in Starcraft 2) mention it is good to keep sentries in the center of you army so guardian shield will cover bigger amount of units and sentries can FF opponent quicker.

Similar I can say about templars: in center they are more defended and can quicker cast storm or feedback.

But even though I keep sentries on the same short-key as other gateway units they tend to spread out asides.

With templars that is even worse: they are slower and I keep templars usually on a separate short-key. As a result they often either behind and come to the battle too late or they are unprotected at all...

How you deal with this to keep sentries in the center of the death-ball and templars close to it?

Thanks a lot for any advise!

P.S. I do realize that keeping casters in PvT is vulnerable to EMPs, but in my current level (top gold/medium platinum) I'm not EMPed too often and that is not a problem for me yet.

I've started playing Skyrim again after a few months and am having some trouble with archery. I've got the Eagle Eye perk, which says I can zoom in by holding the Block button. However, I'm not sure what the Block button is. I've never used a shield in this character's life so I've never had reason to try to block before.

It seems either I'm not quite doing this right, or I've got the block button remapped to an unknown key. In the Settings, however, I don't see anywhere that you can set which key to bind "Block" to, so I don't know how to check if I've remapped it.

So:

How can I check which key I've got Block mapped to?


texts: Can an opponent deploy units behind my base, if I build it beside the natural border of my land?

texts:
In Star Wars Commander you are given a tract of virtual land where you can build your base.  I have yet to engage a multiplayer opponent and, from what the game states, I will not be attacked until I first attack another player.

Since I am about to start attacking opponents, I want to be sure that I have an optimal base layout.  My question is, can I use a corner of my build-grid as a natural barrier, or will the game allow an attacking opponent the ability to deploy opponents a square or two from behind the barrier of where I am allowed to build?

Currently I can build 60 wall units and that isn't enough to protect all of my buildings.  However, if I can use an edge of my space to my advantage, I think I can wall-in all of my buildings and protect myself from a rebel assault.

I know that Bristleback has reduced damage taken on his back or on the side, so I have been trying to  outrun him and right click him from the front. That put me in a lot of danger since it allows him to stack a lot of Quill Spray. It just seems like there's no chance for naix nor PA to take down Bristleback without some form of help from the other guys.

So what is the best way to counter Bristleback ? Which hero or item or strategy is an effective measure against him?

Long story short: in HotS, will you be grouped with people you've previously muted? The specific feature I'm talking about is the "Block all communications from this player" button in the tab screen you can get while in a game.


texts: Is it still possible to get the Replayer achievement in Street Fighter IV, or is the Replay Channel broken?

texts:
I recently started playing Super Street Fighter IV: Arcade Edition Ultra (released for Xbox 360 in 2011 with the Ultra DLC released in 2014) on my Xbox One S, and have been trying to pick up a few of the low-hanging achievements. One that looked particularly easy was "Replayer", which just required me to watch some replays in the "Replay Channel" section of the game under "Xbox Live BATTLE".

Unfortunately, the Replay Channel doesn't seem to work. Every time I select one of the channels under the Replay Channel's "Channel Select" screen, I'm sent into a perpetual loading screen with the message "Sending data...".

After a minute or so, the loading screen will disappear and reappear, and if I've selected "Random" it will advance to the next channel, but no replay ever appears. I've left it running for more than half an hour as a test, and when I checked at the end it was still in this loop.

I initially assumed that this was a networking problem on my end, but I was able to play matches against other players through Xbox Live, and I came across a few posts from other users encountering this problem in 2012 and 2013.

Is it still possible to get the "Replayer" achievement in Super Street Fighter IV: Arcade Edition? Is the Replay Channel broken, or is there some way to make it work, or an alternative that will satisfy the achievement?

Any help is appreciated.

EDIT:

I have looked into my server's IPTables configuration, and this is what my IPTables looks like:

Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination
ACCEPT     tcp  --  anywhere             anywhere             tcp dpt:27015
ACCEPT     udp  --  anywhere             anywhere             udp dpt:27015

Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination

Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination
ACCEPT     tcp  --  anywhere             anywhere             tcp dpt:http

And I have been told that this should make it work, in terms of port redirection.
Even so, I have tried running the server using sudo, and it does not have any effect.
Therefore, I think it isn't an issue with my server.


texts: Is my Kinect facial recognition data saved on the Xbox live cloud?

texts:
One of the new Xbox dashboard features is cloud storage for your Live profile - apparently you can
download your profile to another Xbox with your points balance and friends list etc. But exactly what account data from my profile is stored in the cloud?

In particular, does it include the Kinect facial recognition data - can I go to a friend's house, download my profile and then walk straight on to Dance Central 2, say? Or would I need to retrain the facial recognition on that console too? If I copied my profile on a memory stick rather than downloading it would that work?


texts: How to get Pokemon Sun save file from an old SD card?

texts: How to get 3 skulls (or less) system to improve faction reputation after finishing main campaign in BattleTech flashpoint?

texts:
I am playing flashpoint and recently got to open the black market which I consider to be an awesome way to get hands on +++ items.

Price and items in the black market depend on reputation with local pirate organization. I have hated rating with local pirate organization and I would like to improve it. Problem is I have finished main campaign and lowest star system load rating is 3.5+(skulls)

At hated, I can only accept 3(skull) missions from the local pirate faction.

Does it mean that there is no way for me to improve rating with local pirate organization and to subsequently get better items at cheaper prices from black market?

Is there a way to get 3 skulls (or less system) after finishing main campaign in BattleTech flashpoint? Or some other way to improve faction reputation?


texts: Do you still gain weapon type xp when the weapon's xp is maxxed?

texts: How can I overcome color bleeding issues in cutscenes?

texts:
I finally managed to sit down and play some XCOM Enemy Unknown, and everything works brilliantly save one strange graphic issue. In the game's various segments that have more of a cutscene look, usually when talking to someone in the base during the tutorial, I am seeing strange color bleed issues that appear to be related to lighting in some way:

And here are a couple of closeups on the issue:

While this isn't horrible, and doesn't happen most of the time (on a mission, or when viewing the base), I find the issue terribly annoying. I have an ATI 5750 card with the latest driver, and any suggestions are more than welcome.

I'll just mention that this did not happen while I was playing the demo (I recall that my graphic setting were lower on the demo, so while I might "solve" the issue by turning off some bells and whistles, I am looking for a solution that will not force me to sacrifice the graphic fidelity of the game).


texts:
Many cannons list 2 rates (or a range of rate) of fire in the specs. For example take this tier 10 German cannon:

Edit: Too clarify: I'm looking for the reason that influences the rate of fire shown for the gun when installed on a tank, not of the rate of fire calculation in a battle.


texts: How do you use "Marked For Death"? What's the best way?

texts:
I'm a level 60 demon hunter who's just reached Inferno. I usually use Elemental Arrow w/ Nether Tentacles or Impale w/Chemical Burn as my main damage dealer and Hungering Arrow w/whatever rune to build hatred. I use a mix of Smoke Screen/Caltrops/Vault/Evasive Fire plus increased movement speed gear to kite around.

This seems like a pretty common sort of build, but I frequently see others using Marked For Death. I cannot seem to wrap my head around why. Would someone please describe a strong way to use it?

It seems like kiting and using the Steady Aim passive would automatically be better - especially on higher difficulties where you have to kite or be very mobile just to survive.

I'm not crapping on Marked For Death. I'm really curious about how other people use it.

texts: Which house / safe storage chest is closest to a fast travel destination?

texts:
In Skyrim, what house or safe storage chest is the closest in travel time from a fast travel location? Preferably there should be no loading screens between the fast travel location and a chest to dump stuff.

I am currently using the Riverside Shack south of Windhelm which is reasonable close though still annoying for lack of containers and drafts. (And may not be safe.)

Note: The place doesn't need to be free, I've quite a bit of money. I'm looking for the overall most efficient / fast access house.


texts:
We just lost two times in a row because of an unstoppable Anti-Mage in the other team.

Both games were very long (50-70 minutes) and even though we paid attention to not feed him or his team nor let him farm too much, in late game he pwned our team at each team fight: Manta Style + Skull Basher + another speed/damage item = gg

Which counter-pick works against Anti-Mage? How can an Anti-Mage be countered in game, and which items works effectively against him late-game?


texts: New to it... what does "business demand" mean in Tiny Tower?

texts:
In the game "Tiny Tower" if you click on "menu" and then click on "stats" it will show "retail" , "creative" , "food", etc.

What does that mean? Does it mean something like the lower the number the more of that item I need? Or the less I need?


texts: How does "overloading" work and when should I overload?

texts:
I have trained up thermodynamics and have been playing around with overloading, causing a reasonable amount of damage to all the equipment on my ship during all of my testing and I was wondering the following;

How does overloading work
How does heat spread between components on a rack, and
How can I reduce the heat generated by overloading

With all of the above in consideration, under what circumstances should I be overloading? Should I only overload weapons or is it normal to overload shields or warpdrives as well. Is it ever worth doing in PvE/missions or is this pretty much a tactic for use in PvP only?


texts: Are the Stormcloaks or Imperial Legion the "Official" winners of the civil war?

texts:
I've finished the Stormcloaks and Imperial Legion, and both seem to have endings which could support an Elder Scrolls sequel in which a war occurs with the Thalmor.

I'm used to seeing Bethesda make games with choices that end up achieving the same thing, are inconsequential to a sequel, or are the "right" way to finish. I don't think the civil war's winner would be ignored in the inevitable "The Brief History of Skyrim" series or similar in-game books. It seems like a very important development.

Is there any additional dialogue or hints as to what side was intended to win the war that I might have missed? I've noticed in my current game that while the Stormcloaks have supposedly ousted the Legion from Skyrim, the Imperial Legion still appears to hold certain towns on their strategic maps.

   Does that mean that while Tullius is dead, the Imperial Legion will just promote a new leader who will return to annex Skyrim?

Will the soldiers in the hidden wilderness camps continue to fight for the various garrisons around Skyrim?

If you intend to include dialogue or plot which could be considered a spoiler, please use the >! spoiler tag.


texts: In Civ5, what are the deciding factors for garrison vs. fortify vs. attack?

texts:
When I have a unit in a city and the city is being attacked - what should I do with this unit?

Garrison it?
Fortify it?
Use it to attack approaching enemy units? (Ranged vs. Melee units !?)

I'm asking because I'm really unsure -- for example it seems city bombardment strength is really crappy, my archers do a lot more damage, so I obviously like to use them to fire upon enemy units. But once the enemy is at the gates, could I hold out significantly longer if I garrison them?

What about melee units? Better to attack or to garrison?


texts: Can the query.port setting be the same as the Minecraft server port?

texts:
There is a property in the Minecraft server.properties file allowing you to specify a query port for the server: query.port.

If I have my Minecraft server listening on 25565, can the query port be the same or does it have to be different?


texts:
I'm doing a contract at the moment, but I ran into trouble defeating two level 5 Alghouls that roam the area I have to examine. I'm at the same level myself, but the Alghouls are quite a bit harder than any other enemy of that level that I previously encountered. I'm playing on the second-hardest difficulty level.

I know that Axii is supposed to help, but when I tried it I still got staggered when attacking them after axiing them. They're also pretty fast, I had some trouble dodging them, which is quickly fatal as I can only survive 2-3 hits from them. The bestiary also doesn't contain a lot of useful information about them.

How do the spikes on Alghouls and Axii work exactly? How do you evade their attacks, dodging or rolling, and in which direction? Any other tips on defeating them?


texts: Is it possible to play the Steam version of Quake on Ubuntu?

texts:
I understand that playing Quake on Linux requires three things:

An engine
A launcher
The data files (either shareware or registered)

The first two have GPL packages available and are as simple to install on Ubuntu as clicking a link in the Software Center. The third is usually obtained by downloading the shareware version or by taking the data files from an original CD.

Can the Steam version of Quake act as a substitute for a CD so that I can play the registered version? If so, is the process documented anywhere? Bonus points if your answer speaks to all of the games in the franchise available on Steam since I'd love to try them all at some point.


texts: So I'm playing Moby Dick: The Video Game, and every now and then a tall ship comes by.  For anyone not familiar with that term, I'm talking about the large, masted ships.  (In this game, they are the ones that fire cannons at you.)  These ships usually kill me, and so far I've been unable to sink any of them, or even knock any sailors out of them.  Can they be destroyed at all?  If so, how many hits does it take?  Do I have to be a certain size before I can destroy them?


texts: Why does Pokémon Gold sometimes delete my save data?

texts:
I purchased Pokémon Gold, second hand, but it keeps deleting its save data at random intervals. I started playing it the other day, and when I came back a day later, found that the data had been deleted.

I initially thought this was a similar issue to another question, on here, however the user asks concerning their game not being able to save at all. To test, I quickly started a new game, saved, and restarted. The save file was there as it should have been, although when I came back the next day, that new data had also been deleted.

I do not think this could be from a dry battery, either, as if it was, it would not be able to hold a save at all. Why does Pokémon Gold randomly delete my save?

texts: A minecraft command that gives you a villager spawn egg with custom trades 1.16

I want to make an overpowered kit that uses one command and I need the custom trade villager to be in a pre-filled chest and I've tried
/give @p chest{BlockEnityTag:{Items:[{Slot:2,id:villager_spawn_egg,Count:127,tag:{EntityTag:{VillagerData:{profession:armorer,level:5,type:plains},Offers:{Recipes:[{buy:{id:stick,Count:1},sell:{id:emerald_block,Count:64},maxUses:9999999},{buy:{id:emerald,Count:1},sell:{id:stick,Count:64},maxUses:9999999},{buy:{id:stick,Count:1},sell:{id:paper,Count:64},maxUses:9999999},{buy:{id:stick,Count:1},sell:{id:gunpowder,Count:64},maxUses:9999999},{buy:{id:stick,Count:1},sell:{id:oak_log,Count:64},maxUses:9999999},{buy:{id:stick,Count:1},sell:{id:netherite_block,Count:64},maxUses:9999999}]}}}}]}} 1

it seems to be working but it gives nothing in the chest and I'm not sure if it can be done and I have a summon command for the villager
/summon villager ~ ~1 ~ {VillagerData:{profession:armorer,level:5,type:plains},Offers:{Recipes:[{buy:{id:stick,Count:1},sell:{id:emerald_block,Count:64},maxUses:9999999},{buy:{id:emerald,Count:1},sell:{id:stick,Count:64},maxUses:9999999},{buy:{id:stick,Count:1},sell:{id:paper,Count:64},maxUses:9999999},{buy:{id:stick,Count:1},sell:{id:gunpowder,Count:64},maxUses:9999999},{buy:{id:stick,Count:1},sell:{id:oak_log,Count:64},maxUses:9999999},{buy:{id:stick,Count:1},sell:{id:netherite_block,Count:64},maxUses:9999999}]}}

It would be interesting to play against other people as I'm sure their strategies are way more creative and devious. But (how) does it work?

texts: How are the rewards for Warzone Firefight determined?

texts:
Warzone Firefight is a co-operative game mode where you kill a lot of AI baddies while using reqs like a traditional Warzone game. I've played several games in this new mode, and it's quite fun.

My question stems from the fact that I've received significantly different rewards from my several games. I've received anywhere from 4(!) gold(!!) req packs after a match to... nothing.

My initial thought was that a player's ending score influenced the rewards they got, perhaps combined with whether their team succeeded or not... but my recent game saw my team wining and me racking up a whopping 37k points to receive no rewards whatsoever.

How are these rewards determined?

Easy question: Who needs roads to which location in Anno 1404?

Warehouses need roads to grab the finished goods from the industries.
People houses need roads for the sake of having them: If people have

when having roads, they walk across the grassland to the market instead
of using the roads they demanded.

What other buildings need roads to function at all and where must the roads lead to?

For example: Is there any benefit if each building is connected to a single road network so that theoretically each building can be reached by road from any starting point?

texts: The Sims 2: Please insert the correct CD-ROM

texts:
I've been buying and playing The Sims games since the early 2000s. A couple years ago, when I realized that my future computers might not have disc drives (and The Sims 1 and 2 aren't sold digitally), I ripped all these to ISO files so I could continue to play them.

Today, I tried to re-install The Sims 2 Special DVD Edition on my new computer using these ISOs. The installation went great, even accepting the code I still had on my physical box! However, when I went to play it (keeping the virtual disc in the virtual D: drive), it gave me this error:

To my horror, when I tried to insert the physical disc (thankfully I have a Blu-Ray Drive on this computer), it couldn't be read; it seems that it's too scratched over time.

So my physical disc can't be read and the game won't see my ISO rip of that disc. What can I do do get the game to run?

My setup:

Windows 10 Pro (x64)

texts: Is there a way to copy a hero build in Dota 2?

texts:
One thing I often do in Dota is set up custom item builds, so that when I'm playing a hero all the items I like to buy as that hero are in the suggested items section of the shop, for quick, convenient access.

Often, when setting up these builds I like to start with the default build or a build on the steam workshop and tweak that a bit to suit my style. Unfortunately, when creating builds it looks like you have to start from scratch. Is that true, or is there some way that I'm not aware of to copy an existing build and then edit that?


texts: Can Mognet quests be accessed over Wireless Communication?

texts:
I'm really sorry for being vague. I've improved my question:

In Final Fantasy III, there are extra quests to unlock extra content, such as the Legendary Smith and the Onion Knight job. To access these quests, you need to send 7 mail to another player. Once you do that, you must send mail to NPCs.
You can send mail over WiFi to another WiFi-connected DS. This is referred to "sending mail to a far away friend." You can also send it with the DS Wireless system with the same method they use with PictoChat.

If I have a friend with a DS and a Final Fantasy III game  card, can I send 7 mail to him over the wireless and still get the quests, or do I have to use WiFi?


texts: Is there a definition for the polygonal art design found in games?

texts:
While every 3D game includes polygons, some games use polygonal art design.The overall shape of the characters and environments is often simplified with strong geometry.

Most colorful platform games of the 90's had a polygonal art / low poly approach mostly due to technical aspects.

Games such as Crash Bandicoot, Ape Escape and Grim Fandango come to mind.

I'm trying to find modern day games that use mainly polygonal art design.

I made a search on Google and couldn't find an exact definition or term for this.

Please enlighten me.

NOTE: The polygonal art I'm referring to is not the same as minimal or pixel art.

UPDATE, found this interested video on the subject.

It says "Unaffected by Luck". But if you block all damage 100% of the time, wouldn't it render the rest of the game pointless since you can no longer take damage?


texts: What causes King's Quest IV to transition from day to night?

texts:
In King's Quest IV: The Perils of Rosella, you arrive on the land of Tamir during the day time. However, night eventually falls and you find yourself having to explore the land in a much spookier setting.

What actually causes the game to transition from day to night? I have seen contradicting claims such as that it happens shortly after you are tasked with finding Pandora's box or that the game operates on a timer, like King's Quest III, and that if you take too long to do the tasks that can only be accomplished during the day, night will come and the game will be unwinnable.

Which is it actually? If it's neither, then is there some other trigger for night?


texts: Can I use a Wii Guitar Hero Guitar on PC?

texts: For Guitar Hero 3: Legends of Rock, Guitar Hero: Aerosmith and Guitar Hero: World Tour, can I use a wireless Wii Guitar Hero 3: Legends of Rock controller on PC with a Bluetooth Dongle? My controllers work perfectly with the Bluetooth Dongle on PC, but will it work with the peripheral and will the game recognize it as a controller?


texts: Increase import fom trade ports's freight rail terminal

texts:
I'm trying to ditch mining for importing. Since my roads are already taxed enough, I want to import through rail station.
Raw ore imports are however not even close to filling the demand.
No matter how many lots I build, it just imports 120 tons of raw ore per day.

How can I increase the imported amount of raw ore over rail?


texts: How can I use the "frog jump" forward of Gael's Greatsword on PC?

texts:
Gael's Great Sword has two attacks:

1) Weapon Art + light attack (Left button of mouse) = The rolling attack

2) Weapon art + heavy attack (shift + left button of mouse) = The Frog Jump

The problem with the normal Frog Jump is, you move back first, then strike forward.

However, I have seen in some Youtube videos specially PvPSkillz that he uses the frog jump as a gap closer, I think he uses Xbox, so I'm thinking, How can I change the direction of the Frog Jump? A typical frog jump moves backwards first, then forward, PvPSkillz frog jump is forward, forward!


texts: Playing Hacknet without Unix knowledge possible?

texts:
I'm really interested in playing Hacknet but my problem is that I don't have any Unix command knowledge. And as the game is based on Unix commands I'm not quite sure whether I should buy it, because I don't want to end up frustated searching for solutions. Is there enough "tutorial" so that someone without Unix knowledge can play it or not?

(sidenote: I'm a programming apprentice that has been working with Java, so I have general knowledge of programming)


texts: I've got an emerald dragon and am now waiting for a second one to come. I don't really care for the gems so I wonder whether I should display the second one as egg or hatch it and breed the third one from two previous ones.


texts: Can the witch hunter fire with his melee weapon

texts:
In the game you have different classes, each of the classes has a melee weapon and a ranged weapon. Now the Witch hunter class starts off with a rapier as melee and pistols as ranged.

If you block with the rapier it also shows that he is holding a pistol, also his melee weapon has a bullet counter which the rest of the melee weapons don't have.

Now the question is is it possible to fire the pistol while using the rapier as melee?


texts: Is there a way to get an NPC's RefID in game?

texts:
When using the console to affect NPC characters you always need their RefID. I always get this on one of the two Skyrim wikis because the following help command returns only their BaseID:

help <npc name> 4

Is there a way to get their RefID through the in game help search?
