The latest patch for Terraria added in a bunch of new plants (and their seeds) for use in alchemy. I'd like to make a sustainable farm for these new plants, but I'm having trouble determining when the plants are in bloom. What are the conditions underwhich the new plants will "bloom", and produ...

I find that popup pretty distracting and to be honest, I don't care much that somebody has gotten 100 kills total. Is there a way to block the message, without completely blocking other messages in the same style (gifts getting given out etc)?

If I fall in battle before my AI party members too, they very quickly attempt to revive me. I've even had my "shadow" (as Reinhart) revive my AI party member. But I've never been able to figure out how to do it myself. When I stand near the corpse, I see a shield pop up, but clicking the Use b...

In Half-Life 2: Episode One, the last underground level is where Gordon and Alyx find an unpowered elevator, look around for a switch to power it on, and then try to survive the zombie onslaught while waiting the elevator to arrive. In my previous playthroughs, I always struggled on this part, a...

Interceptors provide bonuses for microwarpdrives. However, I'm worried about using them for solo PvP because they can be scrambled. Should I downgrade to an afterburner and play it safe, or is the threat of scrambling negligible?

Should this question have been closed? "List of XXX blogs" are valid community-wiki questions on every other stackexchange...

I remember playing this PS2 game, on a demo disk. The premise (i think) was that your town (and all its people) were taken and put in orbs or something, and stashed in this dungeon. You had to explore and fight down in the descending levels against increasingly harder monsters to get them back, a...

I believe I read that after X hours of playing Team Fortress 2 in a period of Y days, you stop finding items. How long do I have before I stop finding items? And if I hit this limit of gameplay, how do I tell?

Valve published a FAQ page to describe the differences between free and premium accounts. It is written that free account has Limited blueprints, but what does it mean? Which are the items that a free account cannot craft using recipes? And also, free account can drop only Standard items, but w...

I read that I can now plant a seed in pot, but I really did not understood how to do it. I placed the pot on the ground and selected a seed but cannot plant them. What do I miss?

The blog brought my attention to X3: Terran Conflict. Since I haven't played the predecessors but I'd like to know the whole story I wonder if there is a possibility to play them with X3TC's graphic engine instead of the rather ... nostalgic ... look of the original?

Since an major update a few days ago, cat physics (and other donut-games games like Cave Bowling) support gamecenter features and achivements. when i look into my gamecenter, i can see i've earned 11 out of 12 achivements, but if i take a look at the list, there are only 11 achivements listed (an...

I wear a full set of molten armor. I use Muramasa, Blue Moon and a Pheonix Blaster as weapons. I defeated the Eye of Cthulhu, the Eater of World and Skeletron. I killed a goblin army without ever being in any real danger. I explored the Dungeon, the Underground Jungle and the Underworld. What i...

The discovery mod seems to be quite a recommendation, but it's available in versions 4.85, 4.84 and 4.83 and each readme states a different year in which the new story takes place, and in 4.85 openSP is no longer optional but enforced. I'd like to play the game once again from the very beginning ...

As the city is so well designed, I would like to wander around a little bit, discover the monuments, etc... The issue is that the story goes from one case to another, without a break, whereas, in GTA:IV, you had to go to a given spot to start a new mission. So the question is simple: in a middle ...

I'm playing The Elder Scrolls games for many years and I have recently re-installed Oblivion after a break of more than a year. I'm using my savegame from that time and now I have problems finding my old stuff. Let me explain that. In my list of bought houses there is a 0. So I haven't bought an...

There are various statistics in Crackdown 2 that tell you how many of a certain thing you've found in each area of the game. Problem is, I can't remember which area is which, and there's no indication in the game other than the first time you enter a new zone. This means the statistics are effe...

The Minecraft wiki suggests this: ...with this being the key to the diagram. The way I read it, the set and reset wires run into two blocks. On the opposite side, put a torch on the set side, then run a wire back to the block opposite reset. Above this wire lies another block where a new ...

How do I go about finding a host for my Minecraft server? I found the Minecraft forums section, but there aren't any rankings, so I don't know if I should trust any of them. I can't host it myself I am willing to pay

I often run into trouble looking for groups in LOTRO, so often I use whatever I get. Often, a Champion is willing to join, but considering the way Champions burn down health in exchange for damage, I'm not sure if this is a good idea...

I'm unable to find this information specified somewhere. Basically, the Borderlands version purchaseable through the Mac App Store, can it play with Borderlands installations running on Windows, ie. co-op, etc.? Or can Mac version only play with Mac, and same for Windows version?

I recently installed Dungeon Siege 3 and I was very excited about the Game. I think it´s great but there is one thing, that really bugs me out. How can I change the selected mob? I mean, if a mob is targeted, how can I change the target to another mob that maybe needs to get stunned or something....

I recently started playing Mortal Online, with friends et al. Thing is, I can't seem to find a good, up-to-date (post v1.50) guide to break the barrier to entry to this theoretically great game. I'm asking this because the ingame tutorials feel very incomplete. Is there such a guide, or learning...
