I'm apparently being attacked by a giant dragon and there's fire everywhere. No matter what I do, I seem to catch fire and burn to death before fighting the second group of enemies. If this is a tutorial level, it's not a very good one. By the time I finish reading any of the tips it gives me,...

Apparently I have a spell called "Aard", which does something when I press Q while it's active. Aard is hardly a descriptive word, however, and when I press C to bring up my character screen there's nothing there that has anything to do with it. How can I read a description of this spell in-game?

In the tutorial, the king gives Geralt the spyglass to aim for the "man with the red plume", while he adjusts the ballista. I felt like I had the cross-hairs right on the man, but when the bolt was fired, it was a bit high. Is it possible to actually hit the target? If so, do you need to aim som...

This shocking news report about portal 2 confirms the awful truth of the game -- it calls itself an educational game, and indeed, is rated for everyone 10 and older, but it cannot hide the fact that the game is brutally racist towards adopted children who may be playing it. While local news repo...

I am trying to finish the MOUT course in the ARMA II tutorial, and the game is ending, telling me that friendly fire damage outside the course is not allowed. All I did was get in the vehicle and drive towards the waypoint. Am I allowed to use the vehicle in completing the MOUT course? When I ...

A friend of mine runs a Minecraft server, but so far we haven't been getting a lot of traffic. The few that DO show up, have commented on how much they like the server, but wish we had more players. I agree with this sentiment. What can we do to generate more traffic to our server?

The game is telling me that in order to drink potions, I must enter Meditation Mode, but it doesn't give me any clue how to enter Meditation Mode in the first place. How do I do that?

In the game Mojo!, if you have a saved game very far along, but don't have enough Mojo to beat the level, is there some way to get more Mojo, either by restarting the level or the world? Or do you have to start the game all over?

Are there any cheats in the game Mojo!?

When you buy a new DS lite some kind of placeholder is sitting in slot 2 of the DS. It appears to have electrical contacts but I can not find any documentation anywhere that says what it does, if anything.

Is there a pause button in Chop Chop Ninja HD? This seems silly, but I can't seem to bring it up if one exists.

For example, if 2 enemies are approaching me side by side, there doesn't seem to be a way to attack one of them without leaving myself utterly open to counterattack or interruption from the other one. I always do an unnecessary windup and lunging or leaping slash of some sort that accomplishes n...

Clearly, I'm dying quite frequently, and the mouse controls in this game aren't the best. Is there a shortcut on the keyboard that chooses the "Yes" option for you so you can go back to get murdered in a new way?

In the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy text adventure, once I'm on the Vogon ship, how can I get the Babel fish in my ear? The darn thing keeps slipping away!

I found two minigames in the first area of The-Witcher-2, an Arm-Wrestler, and someone who wants to play "Dice Poker". While the former is simply explained in the in-game help, there was no information on how to play Dice Poker. What do the symbols on the dice mean? What do the (unlabeled!) cir...

I've noticed that I tend to take a lot of damage, and especially that once I take one hit I'm prone to take a couple more in succession. This makes the cost of a single mistake rather harsh. Is there any way to heal during battle?

In the opening scene of the game, you meet the Crinfrid Reavers. Dialog with them implies that Geralt met them previously. Geralt claims to have amnesia. Is this because I did not import a save-file from witcher 1 (and thus the game doesn't know how I "would" have treated them?) or does Geralt t...

I'm stuck on the level "Waste disposal". I'd like some strategies to beat this level. The previous level (Turnaround) required a lot of build-and-then-tear-down to turn the attackers back and keep them cycling around until you kill them. This "Waste disposal" level seems that it would permit s...

Hey guys, do you know of any good motorbike simulators along with a kit that would actually make it feel like you are actually driving one? in terms of controls etc, i ve seen honda have one but it i can't seem to locate it

I'm sure I've seen a documentary on the history of computer gaming, googling around I cannot find it now. I'm positive it featured: The first coin-op machine installed somewhere in the Pacific Northwest (Portland or Seattle?) Interviews with Miyamoto. Something about Mario being rushed out be...

I have an essentially brand-new Minecraft world. Problem is, I haven't found anything I can use to make light yet, so as soon as night falls I get totally lost. And I then have to sit still with the application open waiting for dawn so I can figure out where the Hell I am. (I can't even alt-ta...

Sometimes, for no apparent reason, when I strike one of the enemies I'm fighting in The Witcher 2, a short cinematic will play where Geralt stylishly eliminates the foe, seemingly regardless of their current health at the time. What is actually going on here? Is it just luck?

Well, I don't know how native English call it, in China, we call it "游戏克星". Something like Game buster, Game master, FPE (Fix People Expert), etc. But they only run in Win32. It should be capable of: Analyze memory to find out which bytes are used by life-point, energy-point, etc., and change ...

I'm constantly at the limit of weight Geralt can carry around due to all the crafting and alchemical ingredients I'm carrying around. My large collection of assorted monster parts in my inventory gets very heavy sometimes. Is there any way to significantly increase the weight limit, so I don't h...

I'm trying to decide whether I should buy L.A. Noire for Xbox 360 or PS3. 1) Is there a comparative review between the versions on the two consoles? 2) Has Rockstar announced any downloadable content for the game, and if so, are those items exclusive to either of the consoles.

Test Drive Unlimited 2, while fun, is seriously marred by an immature player-base. Having to put up with a semi-constant stream of profanity is wearing me thin, to the point where I'm considering turning it off for good. But before I do that, is there a way to find out who's yelling at me at a gi...

The cross-site FAQ reads, in part: may be be removed. "[M]ay be be removed"? May "be" be removed?

Hi, I'm moving from a PS3 to a Xbox 360 system, and I already own some GH guitars for PS3. Does anyone out there know if the GH (Metallica) PS3 edition guitars are compatible with Xbox? Thanks.

Hello, I have a spare 250 GB 2.5" hdd (Western Digital Scorpio Black, 7200RPM) and I'm planning to buy a new Xbox. Is it possible to buy a 4GB Xbox (which as far as I understand is provided with a 4GB flash memory but has no conventional hdd) and subsequently install such hdd in it? In additio...

Hi all, I'm going to prank my buddy into thinking that I have a certain game as a Facebook application. That game is of course, a desktop application which probably uses DirectX and is coded in C++. Now I don't want it to be all out innovation. I just want to make it so that it seems that the app...

On your character screen in the abilites section is a list of critical effects and your chance of inflicting them. At the moment it looks for me like this, with a depressing 0% for everything: I have a sword that has a +X% for bleeding and poison, but equipping it does not seem to increase the...

On the character attributes page is a section for abilities (different from talents). I've earned the abilites Axii sign hex, cover, conjuror and assassin. Each of those gives a certain bonus, which is nice, but I have no idea how I unlocked most of those abilities. I got the Axii sign hex when ...

While I can't play Portal 2 right now, I found this, which demonstrates that most portal 2 co-op chambers need only one person to solve the puzzle, using some glitches. In that video, there's several interesting glitches, including reportal glitch, TRT, and this awesome glitch. (It seems that 'at...

I'm kindof new in World of Warcraft, so I asked several people about a Destro Warlock's optimal build. Most of them agreed that my main "Nuke" should be Soul Fire (on my level, at least) but all of them disagreed on how. How can I optimize Soul Fire? I have heard about differing Talent builds, ...

I've made some tracks and a cart but I can't figure out how to make the cart "go." It kind of glides along slowly when I put it down on the track and hop in, but does not have enough momentum to even go up a 1 cube incline.

I remember playing this game in college, probably around 1990. It was a top-down view and the screen scrolled (I think both vertically and horizontally or north-south/east-west). One thing unique to the game that I remember is that you would run across special platforms. When you ran the tank ov...

In the first chapter you are supposed to slay the Kayran, this enormous beast: I'm having a hard time with it. I drank the Mongoose potion for poison resistance and I have the Kayran trap, but it just hits me too often with its tentacles. Especially when the Kayran swings a tentacle sideways, ...

What would be a good playable, latest and greatest, visually stunning 3D game for OSX to demo the power of the (new) iMac?

I've spent the last 1.5 hours running around trying to find the last Nekker Nest... I'm starting to think the quest is bugged. Has anyone got their locations pinned on a map?

I could have sworn that one of the tutorial journal entries mentioned that meditation could be used to remove potions prematurely (before their duration would normally expire), however I don't see such an option either on the meditate menu, or on the drink potion menu itself. Is it possible to e...

The HTML page title feature which puts the most popular tag on the front of the question is a very useful tool. Problem is two-fold, however. It kills our game-specific SEO if we try to implement a more robust tag system than just "Tag the game". Questions will end up with the things like "boss...
