Why is it that i get 0 ping when i create my own custom game and in turn am able to take down opponents with much ease. For example,i am able to take down a banshee by shooting it 3-4 times with a pistol and take down another player instantly shooting anywhere on their body again with a pistol.

I'm kind of new to GW2, I have 5 characters lvl 1-20, and just now I found out the PvP button, that lets you go to a PvP world where you are max lvl with all the traits and skills and can buy the best items for free. So I was wondering, what reasons are there to even bother lvling up to lvl 80? ...

I have replaced my Vanilla server with a Bukkit server and installed WorldEdit and WorldGuard plugins. It appears that Villages are not generated. Existing villages are still there, but when going to a previously unvisited village location. So, it seems that villages are either not created at a...

I've been working my way through the Dwarf Fortress Quickstart Guide and didn't really have any problems until I encountered the section on starting up a metal industry. Now I feel that I'm in way over my head. As instructed, I successfully built a wood furnace, some smelters, and a metalsmith's ...

For example, if I installed starcraft 2 on a usb, and then plugged the usb into ANOTHER computer, would it run properly? I'm fine wit...

I doubt that I'm the first person to point this out, but has any one noticed the similarities between the First Lady's Aerodrome and the Eiffel Tower? I think it's a nice touch. Since Elizabeth is trying to make it to Paris in the early stages of the game, I guess it makes sense that the zeppeli...

I was playing Portal 2 co-op for the first time. We were on PC in split-screen mode. When the game started, we were dumped into a level selection chamber, and a voice announced that all levels were now unlocked. Why did this happen? In addition to not having unlocks, there was apparently an intr...

new to Ubuntu Linux just came from windows 7 after a recommendation from one of my guild mates on GW2. Sadly I should have grilled him more on how to install all of the games and run them. I have spent a couple days now trying everything from Wine, to Playonlinux, to Q4linux, Virtualbox, etc and ...

While vistas, pois, wps, hearts and skill points are listed and easily visible on the map, allowing a player to compare a fully explored map from the internet with his own map, this is not completely true for the concept of "zones", required for certain achievements split in Ascalon, Kryta, Maguu...

I am considering buying newer hardware for my Ubuntu-only Box. The main purpose of the PC is gaming, mainly Humble Bundle games, some old Windows games with wine and web-based games (the facebook kind). None of these games require huge hardware power, but still, a smooth experience would be nice...
