The background "walls" in Terraria are incredibly tedious to break down. Maybe it's because the hammer is so. damn. slow. or maybe it's just a figment of my imagination since the wall tiles have bigger sprites than non-wall sprites. It's important to rid your base of places where monsters can sp...

I have two Minecraft Bukkit SMP server instances on my host and I understand there's a default "world" included with each instance. I've read about multi-world support in future versions of Bukkit or Minecraft, but at the moment, I believe I'm stuck with a single "map" for each world. Am I miss...

Could you add xhtml1.1 as a synonym of xhtml-1.1? PS: there's a bug the system thinks that this question is a duplicate of Add tag synonym (if I am not adding the PS) and won't lemme submit it…

I understand cheat codes are used by in house testers and why they might be implemented in the final release to help users navigate past difficult situations. By Googling a little, I've found that some game developer studios leak the cheat codes, and some enthusiasts decompile the application t...

There is a (rather poor) question in a tag I frequent: Is there a server on minecraft that i am allowed any block i want just by typing something in? It was closed and downvoted (no surprise there). I was looking at it again and it hit me; he's asking for classic mode!1 I would like to edit t...

Near the end of a game of Words With Friends, the game seems to be stuck in a mode where neither player can make a move. On the main screen on both phones it indicates that it's my move, but when I go into the game board it shows my last move instead of my opponent's. The pass, recall, and swap...

I think I found a chaos orb and there was this weird unbreakable stone all around it. I tried using a bomb, but that had no effect. Do I need a special weapon?

I've killed the cocoons and Queen Endregas but the quest doesn't have a check-box in my journal. Does this quest turn in somewhere, if so where?

I've created a mob trap using a canal and lava. The trap works fine, and I'm getting lots of mobs into it. I am trying to automatically flow the loot via water into a different section of the trap. Here's the problem - while creating the water flow, I accidentally modified the water currents. N...

I'm making an online game, and I had been using a blank square as the character until recently. Now I want to add a real animated character. I downloaded a free sprite sheet it has 12 (3x4) character sprites. What is the general reasoning to animate the character? I see why having all the char...

In Camp McCarran, along with other areas of the wasteland, I have found "named" items (those which have a name when the cursor is above them) which can not be interacted with. The latest example is the Flint with accompanying Welding Gun in Camp McCarran. Do these have any known uses? Are they...

Basically, is it possible to obtain 100% game completion in Burnout Legends in single-player only? I completed all the World Tour events, around 1/3 of the Crash events, most of both World Tour and Crash finished with Gold medals. However, I am currently at around 55% of game completed. I noticed...

I've heard people talk (or at least, saw them write on forums) that they summoned meteors to create meteorite weapons and armor. How do I exactly spawn these meteors and what can I make out of meteor?

Having the portal technology, using it to create free energy thanks to perpetual motion is an immediate obvious step. I was wondering if there is any real reason explained or deducted somewhere about why they didn't do it, or they just glissed about it.

In Chapter 2 of The Witcher 2, I've been tasked with finding a drunk man named Odrin by a few other drunk people. Normally this wouldn't be very high on my priority list, only, well... They won't shut up about him. Everywhere I go around camp and everything I do, be it fighting in a tournament,...

I fired up SC2 after a 3-month hiatus expecting to hop into a nice skirmish with some family, only to find that there were some half-dozen updates that had to be applied slowly and sequentially. It literally took all night (insert belly-aching here). I'm reinstalling Windows soon and wondered whe...

This seems to be a recent thing - questions migrated are now being shown as "closed off topic" and "migrated to ...". This was before the change. This is how it looks now

This is a Meta discussion being opened for the following question, as it does classify a general sort of question. Why didn't Aperture Science invent perpetual motion? Now, we have very firmly established that video game backstories and plot questions are on-topic for this site. If it's abo...

I've been playing this game for a few hours now and I got to the point where I need to find a place of power. Cecil Burdon mentioned a place in a forest where a witch used to live. I got to the place but it's on top of a cliff. I went all over around it but I can't see to find any way of getting ...

I've been thinking about this: Community promotion sponsorship -- new game releases for community members And an important part there is that the community member will get the game fast and will ask a lot of questions about it, fast. Why? To generate great questions and answers especially when ...

When looking at the page source it looks like this might be on purpose, but looking at it through the browser it just looks weird. Joke or mistake?

I found: the dwarven Blacksmith the bookseller across the street from him stall selling alchemy components nearby Sendler in the village woman selling herbs in the village Cedric Meanwhile, on the map I see an icon for a store to the north-west, near the man cooking a cauldron of stew. When I t...

In the Inns, you can purchase various items categorized as food. Is there any use for the food? Does it restore vitality? Vigor?

While loading up my TNT cannon, I accidentally placed a block of TNT where I shouldn't have. Firing up the machine will cause it to misfire and destroy itself and I'll have to build it all again. What should I do to remove the misplaced TNT?

Why has my HP Pavilion laptop started to crash big time? I have updated the graphics driver and that is now great, but my laptop crashes every time I want to play a game. It makes a horrible Beep noise too. This just started a few days ago. Please can anyone help or tell me where I can find a g...

The Wonder Years – Build all the Wonders, across any number of playthroughs. Is there any way to determine which wonders still need to be built to earn this achievement?

I've come across a few claims that porkchops, when held in your hand, allow you to 'lure' untamed wolves. I assume this means that they are more likely to spawn, or will come towards you if they have already spawned near you. Is there any truth in this?

I am looking for the quest giver for the Smell of Incense. I have been wandering about Flotsam and yet to meet the quest giver. How do I start the quest?

I've completed the story mode of Lego Pirates of the Caribbean, but when I go back in free play mode, there's a few things that can only be affected by Blackbeard's sword, but he doesn't appear to have been unlocked by completing story mode; How do you unlock Blackbeard, or get his sword?

I'm trying to get the she-troll head but the guy that has it won't play dice with me because I'm not good enough. I've already defeated the people at the inn. I also know that the the dwarf book trader won't play me. Who and in which order am I supposed to play?

Is there any money to be made from purchasing (or hoarding) low-end components like timber or twine, crafting them into better items, then selling? Or is crafting just an inherently lossy/expensive way to obtain the best gear for yourself? What about for potions/oils/bombs via alchemy (which at...

I seem to always find weapons with great stats except for one that completely nerfs the weapon. A sniper with a great critical rate, but 3 rounds and terrible reload speed or a shotgun that does great damage with only one shot. Am I just getting unlucky or do weapons that roll super stats alway...

I found the Contract Board in Flotsam easily enough -- it's right next to the Inn. But now that I've reached Vergen, I've been looking for a new contract board, and haven't yet had much luck. Does Vergen have a contract board? I have a feeling it's hiding right in front of my eyes...

I see lots of stats, abilities, and equipment revolving around faster recovery of Vigor, but no mention of increasing the maximum. Are you limited to two points for the whole game? If not, does it increase through levels? Gear? Plot events?

I'm trying not to be too vague here, as I suspect a complete answer would require a massive Wiki/DB, but which items are "renewable" vs "scarce" ? Obviously "boss" parts like Queen Endraga Pheremones or Kayran bits are unique, but: If I'm looking for silver ore, will there always be some around...
