Q: Do Temple Run 2 artifacts (masks, rings, and holidays) appear randomly, or based on your actions?

Do chests appear randomly, or are they rewarded after you achieve specific things? What achievements? The odd distribution (I've gotten 8 Fire Breather masks, and only one of most of them) hints that it isn't random. The ten rings are Infinite Loop, Angel Wings, Twisted Root, Floating Islan...

Q: Are there any external input devices that will make swoop racing a little easier?

I've been playing the iOS port of Knights of the Old Republic, and while the conversion to touch controls is generally excellent, I've found it to be infuriating While playing the various built in mini games. Especially swoop racing. Back when I played KOTOR on the PC, I wasn't particularly good...

Q: If you oppose the rotational movement, do you go faster?

While playing, especially at the faster difficulties, it looks like that moving the cursor in the opposite sense of the rotation of the hexagon makes you go slightly faster. Is this true or it's just an optical illusion?

FAE

@spugsley Getting all the pieces can be a challenge sometimes because of what guards them. I've never chosen to go through, myself.

(the pieces in Sandbox mode I mean, let alone Adventure)

Though, AFAIK, you don't really lose anything by making an attempt.

Fluttershy

@spugsley I found it, but I haven't entered!

I think I've had more emotional breakdowns from watching Disney films than as a reaction to actual real-life drama. Which, I want to assume, is a good thing.

FAE

@FrostEngineer Given that a good chunk of talent is straight up discipline and work, I agree.

Ashley Nunn

@FAE yeahhh, so much of stuff is just sittingyour butt down and doing stuff.

FAE

Lots of people assume that you just need to have an innate natural talent to be awesome at something and producing high quality work will just come easily, which leads them to being frustrated/disappointed when they try something and don't meet that standard. They just assume they're not "talented" enough and stop.

I'm not really a huge S&G fan, but I really like this song.

I like the tempo of the album version a bit more, but that's familiarity more than anything else.

I've always said this song SHOULD NEVER BE COVERED!

At least not recorded

It is such a personal bit of pain and longing, no one else should ever sing it for profit.

ElfSlice

After changes upon changes we are more or less the same. One of my favourite song lyrics ever.

That may not be a lofty achievement though because most of the stuff I listen to is either instrumental or full of words like 'pussy', 'weed', and 'money'.

Q: Does deck choice (basic or constructed) have any impact on who you are matched with in Play mode?

When in Play mode, one has the option of using "Basic Decks" or "Custom Decks", presuming you have constructed one. Does this option match you only with other players that are using the same deck mode? (Likewise, does Casual vs. Ranked have any bearing?)
