I am running a dedicated vanilla 1.6.1 server so that my friend over in America can connect and play along with me. The server is whitelisted, we're both in the list and have OP permissions. Playing creative mode. We're building TNT cannons, some of which are designed to launch your player. We b...

In sword of the stars, computer players constantly offer to make and break alliances with me, and I can't figure out if it's random or something that I'm doing. What actions cause computer players to make or break alliances with the player?

In what order do the actions and effects occur in each player's turn? How soon will a unit with a given Countdown be able to attack?

I purchased a copy of SC2 WoL from amazon. The problem is that my old 2007 MBP dvd player is not that healthy anymore and I'm afraid I could have some problem with the installation. Or worse, destroy the disc. So the question is: there is a way to notify this purchase to battle.net and download...

Does anyone know the details of the ordinance system? If I have one ordinance going, and cancel it to put a different one into effect, does the change happen immediately? The next day?

I'm expecting this question to be controversial, but here goes. Suppose Microsoft decides you've been naughty on Xbox Live. You haven't broken the law of the land, and may not even have violated MS's TOS. Say you've circumvented their geographic price discrimination and it comes to their attent...

Civilization V is really kicking me hard this time around. Was an old-pro at Civ IV but this one's a completely different beast. Anyway, back in Civ IV, when you changed production on a unit/building/wonder, you would keep some of those hammers, letting them transfer over to your new project. Gr...

What app can I install on my Wii to watch dlna content from a server on my local area network? I have a server that shares media through SMB, CIFS, and with a DLNA share. I can't use a wired connection, so I'm relying on my Wii for my media in the living room.

I just started playing Thief: Deadly Shadows. I'm trying to change the difficulty on the first mission: Checking Inn - Cashing Out, but nothing works! How do I change the difficulty level?

Katrina the fortuneteller in Animal Crossing: New Leaf often gives me a prediction of good or bad events, then tells me an item is the key to it. Generally speaking, how do I decipher her prophecies?

On Main Street in Animal Crossing: New Leaf are there ever any bugs around or any fish in the pond?

I've been playing FTL for a while now, and I am seeing the same names crop up again and again in my crew members. Whilst I realise they are used for recording stats, I don't really care about them, and really just want a bit more variety in the names presented to me. Is there a way to access the...

If my brother and I each have a 3DS or if someone has multiple systems, is it possible to play it on both systems, assuming you have a physical cartridge of the game?

I've read that up to four people can play on one cartridge but that they'll be forced into the same town, and only the first can be mayor, while the rest are citizens. What's the difference between a mayor and a citizen? What can a mayor do that a citizen can't?
