This thing. I have no clue what it is.

My room: Now occasionally, a random piece of my floor will catch fire for about 10-30 seconds: I am aware of a lava pit immediately below this room, but I thought stone was supposed to be fire resistant! This has already almost killed me. What's going on?

How do you sheathe your sword in The Witcher 2? Guards are attacking me in Flotsam and I have no idea how to do it. Less specifically, is there anywhere I can look at (and ideally change) the default controls?

I'm working on the 'annex all territories' goal and am on the quest Death of a Proxy. I have my Jacoban Priest trying to find a new candidate, and have spoken to a jester but don't have a second Sim with the 'this is your target' appearing anywhere. Meanwhile, my merchant has collected the cloth ...

An attack on a king is called "check", why is an attack that guarantees the capture of a king is called check*mate*? What is the origin?

It still stands as one of my favourite games, but with the developer closed or amalgamated (?) I was wondering what chance there was of a new version.

For the quest "The Nekker contract" I need to destroy all the Nekker nests. I now found my first Nekker nest, but when I try to destroy it Geralt just says "I've got to blow up this nest", but doesn't do anything. So I assume that I need something to blow it up, what would that be? Screenshot ...

So the town died in the attack last night. Unfortunate, but I saw it coming. I hightailed it away and camped out in the wilderness, trusting luck rather than my fellow residents. I am now the only person alive. I've been lucky scavenging. I've found plywood to reinforce my hole-in-the-ground shel...

So i have this problem. The barrels i produce are used to store food and seeds and other stuff and there are never enough barrels for alcohol. Right now i have something like 2000 food and 0 alcohol. How do i balance the usage of barrels or forbid them to use it for anything but alcohol?

With the hype around the second in the series I am considering trying the first Witcher. There are a lot of good PC RPGs to choose from (or coming soon) and I want to know how imprtant the e-sex/adult (snigger) parts of the game are. Can I just ignore it without any consequences?

I have just finished the Pharos tower at Ridorana where you must fight Gabranth, Famfrit and Dr. Cid. My Party is currently at an average level of 48. I am trying to figure out where would be the best place to start farming experience. I have thought of chaining Helvinik in the Necrohol of Nabu...

The South/West Rule has a wide variety of effects throughout the game. What actually causes it?

I achieved almost all of Portal 2 achievements, except "Still Alive" and "Professor Portal". First one is not a big problem, but second one is, since my steam friends having Portal 2 already played co-op, is not easy. One way to achieve this is to play with random player and become friend, howev...

I first noticed it at Superuser and checked at Stackoverflow after that. If you go to your profile, open the reputation tab and collapse an upvote into several lines, the Alt-text for the new upvotes is "answer was upvoted 0 times".

I see minecraft seeds listed, and I started trying some of my own. I have noticed using the same seed produces very similar styles of maps, i.e. start in a specific biome, very high mountains etc, but do they reproduce the maps exactly and you just spawn in the same place, or are they just a ver...

I try to the name of a game from my childhood I played at an arcade sometime in late 80s or early 90s. The game was "arena fights" a'la Mortal Kombat, but with medieval themes, armors, swords and so on. One notable thing was the 2nd player could join in at any time at cost of a credit, (with mess...

I heard about the game Greedy Car Thieves which is inspired by GTA2. How to install it ? I'd also like to have the game on my launcher.

Since 1.5 I had some trouble placing bed safely. According to Minecraft Wiki, bed should be at least one block from the wall. So, I made sure this is so, closed all exits with doors and glass windows and lit the place with torches. Here are screenshots of my bedroom I took right before going to s...

I'd like to increase the default resolution because it's very small. There's nothing in the options menu, and I checked the folders where it is installed and didn't find any sort of options.ini file that I could hand edit. Is there any way to do this? I run a dual monitor setup and at the curre...

In TW1, I remember, I could somehow time my attacks so that when the blows had a certain rhythm the following hits were more and more devastating. Is there a method of timing my sword attacks, so that I can reach a deadly combo?

I'm playing Google Chrome Birds http://chrome.angrybirds.com/ and how can I move my progress to one computer to another without playing all the levels again? Thanks.

If you open a container to loot it, the mouse cursor is often far away from the "Take all" button. Is there a hotkey to loot everything in a container, or any other fast way to do that?

I've collected a nice selection of mutagens so far, but I have no idea on how to actually use them. They are supposed to be able to improve my character somehow. How exactly do I apply those mutagens?

My current gaming desktop is connected to router via few meters of class 5 UTP. But I have to move it to another room, and I'm reluctant to drill holes in the wall to get cables trough. Currently I have simple SOHO WiFi G router with only internal antenna. Quick test with laptop showed some 10ms ...

I recently bought a Macbook Pro and would like to use it for occasional gaming on the go. The problem I have is that when games are in full screen, I'm not sure how to switch to anything else. Mostly what I will end up playing is Starcraft 2, which I could run in a window, however if you use the ...

On the screen you see an animation, like a disney movie, you are a guy with a sword and all you need to do is when a part of the screen flashes you need to move the joystic to that side, if your sword flash you press the sword button. You just need to be...

I remember playing this game in the arcade where it was a 2d fighting game that allowed players to chop off each other's body parts, which would limit their forms of attack. The graphics was very similar to the mortal kombat/killer instinct style, and there was one character in particular that I...

I was browsing Reddit the other day when I saw this amusing image from The Witcher 2: I want to be able to find this for myself when I play the game. Where do I find Altair?

I'm talking about this question specifically: AutoMapper vs ValueInjecter The author of ValueInjecter seems to be offering 50 rep bounties repeatedly on the question, presumably just so the question will get more exposure. Now the software looks pretty cool, but this seems like it's not what the...
