Is there any way to customise/change the way that combat logs in eve are displayed? At the moment, I tend to miss all of the details of combat in large battles.. eg, when I'm fighting a group of 10 NPCs, I have 5 drones deployed and am firing 4 weapon groups, you can't see any of the relevant co...

I just came across Captain forever, and after playing for a little while, I'm mesmerized, but I'm not entirely sure what I'm supposed to be doing. Do I need to stay in this area, and fight of all comers until I'm destroyed? Do I need to go somewhere?

I had an awesome double kill when I was playing as Pyro tonight. [Note to self: Embed Youtube video here after it finishes uploading] I wanted to set it up so that first you had the first-person-view, (of me) and then you had a 3rd person view of the area the fight was taking place in. I got t...

I am using the latest version of Dwarf Fortress 0.31.25 and while not exactly a newb (comming back after a long time away) I can't remember how to toggle between Fullscreen and Windowed mode in Dwarf Fortress?

I'm covering everywhere near my house with my torches and build walls (using fences or blocks) around them, to make sure no creeper will blow up when I'm going out, and to mow my sugar canes and wood. (Now I completed about 80% -- without using any mods, tools, or other cheats) ( Screenshot : ht...

So lately I've noticed that the Grandmaster list is empty (not yet ranked). Before that happened, I saw some unfamiliar players on the top of that list, and when I reviewed their build orders it showed that they were winning simply because the opponent was leaving when the match started. Since ...

The plaque on the wall at the entrance to this room says Magic is the key to this room! This is in the Enix SNES game "Brain Lord" in the first dungeon, the "Tower of Light". The giant yellow balls seem to be magic as they chase you around and you can push the rocks to block them.

How can I use a PS3UPDAT.PUP file downloaded from the Playstation System Software site to update my PS3? Copying it to the root of a USB flash drive doesn't seem sufficient. Does it need to be in a particular path?

I just created my first portal to The Nether. Now I'm justing wondering if The Nether is always same for everybody or is it also randomly generated as the "real world"?

I've been wanting to get my hands on 3D Dot Game Heroes for a while now and was excited to be taking my very first steps in the kingdom of Dotnia yesterday. The pleasure was short lived, however, as upon hitting a rabbit with my sword, the game froze (must have been that rabbit from the Holy Grai...

Do you know a video game or a level within a video game that induces acrophobia (fear of heights)? I'm looking for something that if you are afraid of heights, you probably won't be able to finish this game or game level.

When emptying a clip in Counter Strike Source, the weapon get's automatically reloaded. Is it possible disable the automatic reload so you have to press the reload button yourself when the clip has been emptied?

I think there is a minor bug in the pagination of answers on the user page. You can see it on my profile page now. At the time of writing, I have 63 answers which results in three 30-line pages. However, since answers to the same question are rolled up into a single "answer line" in the list, t...

Hello all, I was under the impression that the Fancy/Fast graphics settings would be a purely visual thing, with lighting/textures/what have you turned down, essentially. But reading this question, it appears there are some functional differences between the two as well (the example given is tha...

While playing on a Minecraft SMP bukkit server, i tried using the /thor command to manipulate lightning on a few pigs with my pickaxe. But it seems that i can't kill it, I even tried putting them in a pit and hitting them with a diamond sword, to no avail. However, they still make the damage s...

I had a Patrat that I taught Cut, but once I got Strength I taught another Pokemon both Cut and Strength. Now the Patrat is redundant. But when I came across the Name Rater I renamed Patrat to +Cut. (I named the other pokemon +CutStr.) Earlier today I found the Move Deleter. I used him to delete ...

I'm being seriously frustrated with fighting enemy blood mages in Dragon Age 2 (currently Huon as part of On the Loose quest): They're casting some kind of death cloud spell, that appear as a red fog circles on the ground and stuns my party members in the area and does alot of damage - my main c...

I've recently picked up Homefront and am thoroughly enjoying it. One of the main reasons I like it over the CoD games is that getting your special purchases (equivalent to killstreak rewards) doesn't require you to be insanely good (and/or lucky) since you can save up the points during a game fo...

I really like the new screenshot functionality in Steam, but although it's meant to be a social thing you can share with people, Steam doesn't seem to make it easy to find which of your friends have uploaded anything. I know you can set Steam to post a notification on the Blotter feed, but I ba...

I was just wondering if anyone knew what the flags on the back of the robots in co-op actually meant ? I was playing as P-Body and had the flag on my back for the whole time as far as I could tell, but atlas definitely has a flag poll as well ... any ideas ?

I've just started playing the Witcher. After a romantic encounter with Triss during the tutorial, I received a "card" showing a picture of her. Now when I view her entry in my journal, there is a heart and an option to "view card". I'm guessing other characters have cards as well. Are their m...

When an injured player takes cover to heal, their health only refills up to the next pip marker - usually if you're covering for health this means your health was very low, and so you heal to no buffs (until a Medic comes along and re-buffs your health for you). But, when a Medic revives an inca...

I'm discussing the art style for a game I'd like to make with a friend. I'm trying to describe what I'm thinking, and I know I've seen a character sprite in an older game that typifies what I'm envisioning. Unfortunately, I can't remember what game I am thinking of. My best guess at the descripti...

When your sim grows up a balloon appears and it gives you a score. However I fail to figure out what are the consequences of such score on the gameplay. The only growing-up score which seems important is the one assigned from adult to elder age, as it has a direct impact on the lifespan left. A...

My SpEn had the pleasure of killing Azrael and part of his escort. However, this involved sticky flames, that burned off all of my scrolls and shattered a few potions. Luckily, my +2 robe of fire resistance helped survive me the experience. I do grieve the scrolls however, and it doesn't help tha...
