I love mastering macro, almost as much as I love building robust defenses. But like the Maginot line they always get breached and I lose my starcraft games if the defender can fight off the early on slaughts of Marines and the late onslaughts of cruisers. What I sincerely suck at is balancing g...

I know that every potion in The Witcher 2 has a "toxicity", but both the manual and the game provide less than adequate explanations of what toxicity is, and how it works. For instance, much of the latter half of the Alchemist tree deals with effects 'while intoxicated'. What does it mean to bec...

The title says it all. Vs zerg opponents, protoss will grab Templar tech as a little stepping stone, and just 2 base mass archon/zealot. I've only run across it a few times, and in 2v2, but each time left me spinning. They never gave me trouble before, but with the post-1.3.3 range, and in th...

I've seen coming Soon™ attached to some Valve and Blizzard products, but did it start with one of them (and if so, which)? What was the first game (or other product) that was to be launched with the blatantly tongue-in-cheek Soon™?

Trying to make a cool Machinima video and I want to record the audio I'm saying and the audio I hear from the gamers I'm playing with. I've found a couple of links but they don't really solve my problem: http://www.roxio.com/enu/products/game-capture/console/overview.html?gclid=CMWx-NWagqkCFRNr...

I'm currently using a necromancer with a high distribution of skills on raise skeleton and skeleton mastery/summon resist. To compliment this I have kept my henchman from Act II who has the Blessed aim aura, which all my skeletons obviously inherit. Simple question: will my henchman work up to ...

I'm a beginner StarCraft 2 player, and I've watched a few VODs and played a few games. I always seem to have either excess minerals or gas, and I've noticed experienced players seem to do the same. So I was wondering, is there a generic difference between minerals and gas; for example, is gas u...

By the end of most scenarios I have some pretty high level heroes ; mostly warriors, dwarves and mages - and the occasional specials like blademasters and paladins. When I create parties using the inn, I group a 2 to 3 high damage wariors/dwarves and have a warrior as the leader and a cleric for ...

I noticed a strange thing about Demolitionist that I do not see mentioned on wiki. Practically on my world I created immediately a good number of houses with all requirements needed to accommodate an NPC. The first NPC that arrived was the Nurse. Then I found many bombs but Demolitionist never ...

When the "Fancy vs Nasty" update went online I downloaded and installed nearly all of the models (weapons and hats) available. Now that "Australian Christmas" update brought most of the items into the game it's getting a little bit anoying. While examining backpack I see pretty much the same icon...

im quite new to eve, played the trial about month ago and just yesterday decieded to have another go, so got a month. ive finished all the intro-y missions at the University i was part of and now im kinda at a loss for what to do.. ive just been floating around mining near the uni and storing i...

While making a storage room for all my mined cobblestone from my quarry, I came across a rather cosmetic problem with my chests: not all of them face me. I realized that chests only face towards me when they have a block blocking it from behind, but it is rather ugly: So, how do I make them al...

I'm stuck right at the beginning of the game right after you hammer the blue sign. Apparently I'm supposed to get up the steps but my character can't seem to make it. I jump as much as I can and somehow it won't go higher than the actual step. Is this because the character I'm playing is really ...

I have a question about Call of Duty World at War. We are 3 players who want to play in LAN mode, without internet connexion to zombies mode. But it doesn't work... (we have 3 official games patched 1.7). Do you know if there's a patch or something which allows us to do that ? Is it possible to s...

I have installed FIFA 11 on one of my drives and also added a patch to it, I have added a new league to it. I want to play online but my FIFA is no more compatible with online playing, so I want to install FIFA again on my PC but it detects that it is already installed and doesn't let me install ...

This is a Meta discussion for the following question, which is getting somewhat of uneasy looks as well as repeated flags. How Can We Get More Players on Our Server? A friend of mine runs a Minecraft server, but so far we haven't been getting a lot of traffic. The few that DO show up, ha...

I'm building a new terminal for my minecart tracks: Currently there are 8, I may add more later. What I'd like to add is a single arrival/departure track, with buttons to select destination. Pressing the button would switch the track layout to connect the departure track to the correct outgoin...

I was thinking about using a large HD TV as a pc monitor and wondered if any of you had opinions on this. Currently I used a 24" 1080p monitor and it's great. But with my remote keyboard I'm often computing from different areas of the living room, sometimes even standing at the kitchen counter. I...

I'm unable to get the merchant NPC to spawn. I already have the demolitionist and the nurse. There are a couple of spare NPC suitable rooms, and 50+ silver coins, but even after waiting many nights, still no sign of a merchant. Is there anything I could be doing wrong?

There's a distance climbed and a distance fallen, so it can't be those..and it wouldn't be actual flying since they are mods.

Some common swords are with better hit points than that silver sword..Im 7 level now and dont see where that sword is special?! Why do i need 2 swords, when i can use just 1 at a time?

There are several different blade oils available that cause more damage to certain classes of monsters, e.g. spectre oil, arachnid oil, necrophage oil and insectoid oil. Most of the monster classifications are pretty straightforward, but I don't know the correct classification for every monster ...

In the comic, lab rat puts chell on the list to be the first one that gets to be tested. In portal 2, when wheatley takes over, he puts you trough the test chambers GLaDOS made. He also says that it is really easy to put these rooms together. He only has to clean the room of skeletons. But if che...

One of my main frustrations in Witcher 2 so far is that whenever I run into a room filled with loot, I'm forced to spend minutes running Geralt like an idiot into every object that looks like it might contain loot until that special pop-up appears. Is there any pattern or special appearance to lo...

I was looking through some old journal entries today when it clicked with me that Geralt can't be the one writing down these journal entries, since it discusses Geralt in the third-person. Furthermore, the writer refers to himself in the first-person in several of the entries. I can't recall who ...

When I approach Vincon Traut in Chapter 2 in an attempt to obtain his enchanted armor, he warns me that it was a mistake to go there by myself. Spot on, Vincon -- I thought I was fairly comfortable with the combat system but your blade and your conspirators are making me look like a complete fool...
