I'm aware of the general mechanism of mushroom growing (place some mud and sprinkle mushroom seeds on it). However, I'd like to know a bit more about it before I start building my farm, so I'd appreciate it if anyone could give me the lowdown. Specifically: How deep down exactly do I have to g...

I just installed Frets on Fire - an open source "Guitar Hero / Rock Band like" game. I'd like to configure a RB guitar, and it seems I need to manually configure each key. I figured out what Fret #1 ... Fret #5 should be mapped to (the colored keys), but I have no idea what's a good configuratio...

I'm working on the Scent of Incense quest in Flotsam (Chapter 1). I got the real recipe and talked with the scholar. I refused to be blindfolded, so he marked the location of his laboratory on my map. Unfortunately, I can get close to the marker, but I can't seem to find a way to actually reach ...

I have a couple of side quests to kill monsters of a particular type, and they say I should read up on them. I can double-click the quest in my journal, and the tracking symbol appears, but it doesn't mark anything on my map. Is there any way to track where these books might be? Or do I just hav...

This warning comes on top of the screen when I try to buy the game: "Retail copies sold in Colombia (your account country) will connect to the Latin America game region." I so don't want to pay that amount of money to play in a server that seems to be the lowest populated and lowest level serve...

Geralt got into a bit of fun with the Blue Stripes last night. After getting rip-roaringly drunk, the Witcher thought it might be good to see if it was possible to float across the river on the bums of four prostitutes. It wasn't. The Witcher woke without equipment and a new tattoo on his neck. ...

When I choose a song, it says "select a difficulty" and displays the different difficulties, but I don't see any way to choose between them. I try hitting up/down, and manage to select different difficulties somehow, but it's pretty random - I don't see any visual indication of the actual difficu...

I needed some information out of someone so I had to out drink him. After a few mugs of ale, my vision started to blur and the room started to wobble, but he still wasn't ready to talk so I had a few more mugs. Eventually he caved, but by that time I was pretty far gone. Now I'm seeing double ...

Is there anyway to "farm" for orens in the Witcher 2?

The last couple of days, I've noticed that most deleted answers had a single undelete vote. To see if this was a coincidence or not, I deleted my last SO answer, hit refresh and saw that it too had a single undelete vote just seconds after deleting it. Why is this?

Since a few days it doesn't seem possible anymore to login to StackOverflow (or any other variant) from my Windows Phone 7 device. When I go to the login page it only shows me the recover your account information, not the icons to choose by which service you want to login. Anyone having the same...

One thing that annoys me with Oblivion (even though it is realistic) is that when you kill a mob, and they drop their weapon(s), you have a hard time finding them in, say, tall grass. Especially when you're on a hillside (and Cyrodil seems to be very hilly :D), stuff rolls/slides down, landing s...

When I [d]ig an upward staircase it reveals the tile above so I can excavate it and make a downward staircase. When I [b]uild one it doesn't reveal the tile above and I can't dig upwards. Have I made a mistake or is this a bug? Is the only way around this to dig a new staircase?

The guide for Witcher 2 which comes with the premium/collector's edition says you can get the troll contract off the notice-board, but I never got any. Do I have to read the notice to get the quest? (And what should I do if I've sold off those notices?)

Hello MC Fans I host a SMP server on a VPS and lately there's been a couple of hard crashes at the hosting facility which has caused some interesting biome glitches. The initial spawn area and the surrounding blocks were forest/rainforest when the world was first created. Also I claimed a rain...

Using WorldEdit I can create a mobspawner of arbitrary kind (except that it still spawns client-only ghost-pigs that haunt me 'till I reconnect). Unfortunately they work too good so rooms get overcrowded. So is there a bukkit plugin to set spawners up such that they only spawn a limited amount of...

I notice a category of items in the inventory called "Lures". What are they for? I guess they're for attracting monsters. If so, what lures would attract what type of creatures?

Hi I play need for speed world and i noticed that every high level player drive nissan silvia which is a tier 1 car and has no low points either for speed, handling and acceleration.so I do not understand why they drive and win with nissan silvia. thanks for any answer

How are scores calculated in Entanglement? I find that breaking my longest path record isn't getting me close to my high score record, so clearly it's not just path length that's relevant.

Hi. I can't remember the name of an old game I used to play on PC (on Windows). As far as I can remember, it was a kind of point and click or RPG in which you were controlling a prehistoric man. I don't remember what was the aim of the game, but you had to feed your character using tools you had...

Sometimes in dialog of The Witcher 2, Geralt gets the option to try to alter the course of the conversation with persuasion, intimidate, or the axii sign. In practice, I've had intimidation fail to work, so I'm curious as to how the chance of success is determined in the first place. Is it relat...

I see them all along my route, but I can't figure out how to pick up the gold inside them. Thanks!

After a long struggle, I managed to beat the Kayren. Great! Now I have a neat Kayren Trophy, a Kayren Hide, and other Kayren bits to round out my loot. I know the Kayren Hide can be crafted into either Kayren Hide Armor, or a Kayren Hide Armor Enhancement, and the Kayren Trophy is already useabl...

I'm trying to change my primary OpenID ( on my Super User account) from MyOpenID to Stack Exchange. Went over to my profile, clicked on "Change OpenID", and selected Login with Stack Exchange. Instead of logging in, I got the below error message: Could Not Find Pending Authentication Reques...

In Assassin's Creed Brotherhood, are there any hidden things/easter eggs that you might miss in a normal playthrough? I remember there were some things in the AC1 that you could do with the computer in the office. Now in Brotherhood as Desmond you can run through the city for 10 minutes, is it j...

I just downloaded and installed The Witcher from GOG.com. However, when attempting to launch the game (the game itself, after the launcher) I get the following error: The program can't start because d3dx9_35.dll is missing from your computer. The system is Windows 7 64-bit. Any suggesti...

OK, part 1, feeding and cheesing. Is feeding in a 2v2 game considered cheese? I played a few with a buddy (we are high bronze), and he has been feeding me resources as Terran while i go mass blink stalkers, w/ 3rd tier upgrades if the battle takes some time. Is that cheese or is it legit? Par...

In Angry Birds Rio, I can't seem to find the fifteenth watermelon, where is it hiding? I'm on my iPhone if that helps. I've found the ones on the following levels: 5-5, 5-11, 5-13, 5-14, 5-15, 6-2, 6-3, 6-4, 6-5, 6-6, 6-7, 6-9, 6-12, 6-14
