Throughout the Myst games and novels, various Ages have indigenous humans (or human-like people). I'm wondering if there is a canonical explanation for this. Was there an original human population that migrated to all these Ages, or did these populations arise independently?

A game made since 2000 for sure. Computer game in which you play a man who throws hammers to kill or squish bugs and other bad guys. The view was birds-eye view. It was part of a series of games that were all on one disk. I remember playing it on a ME version of windows. You could pick up certai...

The AH deposit seems to be proportional to the duration you have an item up on the block for, and apparently 15/30/60% of the vendor cost of the item(?), but how does the AH fee work when an item sells? Is it a fixed portion of the final selling price? Is it affected by the duration?

I've obviously picked up on the fact that becoming a "Hero" in Die2Nite generates a wealth of new options for the player. "Heroic Actions" that can be used outside the town walls are arguably the most useful of these. Can someone give me a complete list of all of the possibilities that can be g...

Have you guys though about creating a computer stackexchange? One where users could post computer problems and get answers from the community. Maybe this already exists but I just don't know about it. Please, post your thoughts.

Using the Kiparis (or any other SMG for that matter), is it efficient (or at least balanced) to use the Dual Wield attachment? Is the extra firepower worth the loss in accuracy? I ask this because I don't usually see other players using it, and that makes me think it's probably under-balanced.

I bought CoD: Modern Warfare not long ago (pretty late to the party), and while I do find it enjoyable, the online multiplayer experience has mostly been me dying over and over again. I somehow feel my opponents have superhuman abilities. I can't turn and aim as fast and accurately as my death ...

Just before going on with the Liberty Prime attack on the purifier, I did part of the Head of State quest, killing the slavers at the Lincoln Memorial and setting the slaves from the Temple of the Union on their way. I know they take a couple of days to get to the Memorial, so in order to "kill ...

I've been searching for a map of griffin/boat/zeppelin travel routes for Kalimdor and Eastern Kingdoms that has been updated since Cataclysm, but all I've found using Google are out-of-date maps from years ago. I'm particularly interested in Alliance routes, but a complete map for both factions ...

I was just wondering if the DLC for Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light offers any new trophies.

Windows 7 32 bit. Trying to open Bioshock 2 within the Library menu in Steam. The Securom launcher opens, then the executable itself. Then the entire thing crashes. No splash screen or anything, just a quick appearance in the task manager and both then disappear. I've tried... checking the int...

Tag sets in Stack Exchange are very useful, and I particularly like the wild card, however, I think it would be even more useful if it was possible to add an "except tag(s)" to the sets. For example, *word* covers not only the Office product (msword, word-vba, word-2007) but also wordpress, so ...

I'm talking about the main site: stackexchange.com, not any of the specific sites. How is this site doing? Are people using it?

The title explains it all. I've played the entire game "regular" but now I'd like to play hardcore but not try and do every little quest all over again-- just the important ones. What are some tips for a "speed run" through New Vegas on hardcore mode? Thanks!

It appears that I can't make any progress before I complete some simple tutorial quests, which should presumably teach me how to control my character. The last quest teaches how to use sneak mode. It has an NPC, Jan, place an object on the ground, which I have to pick up without being seen. The ...

I've been playing Cortex Command after I got it this week in the Humble Indie Bundle and, for the most part, I think it's quite fun. However, I'm noticing that when I order a new person/robot/zombie with lots of stuff (a heavy weapon, multiple weapons, etc) they don't go upwards when firing the ...

Specifically I was wondering why TeX.SE is not included, while several much smaller sites (photo, stackapps, gamedev, stats), are.

I've recently picked up Uncharted: Drake's Fortune from the Amazon "bargain bin" and have been playing through it. Quite a fun game, actually, but I've only managed to get to Chapter 10 ("The Customs House"). The chapter's opening cutscene finished and I started to run towards the stairs inside t...

In Favimon, what characteristics of a website correlate to favimon stats? E.g. Higher traffic affecting health or number of pages on the domain affecting attack. Some sites (like Google) that I expected to be heavy hitters are surprisingly weak, so I'm looking for a more scientific method of fi...

Since ZG and AQ20 have been placed on the map, it seems like they've turned into ghost towns and lost their denizens. Naxx40 long ago flew North, but what other instances (5p or raids) have vanished, and their lore with them?

I was playing Civilization 5 as the Arabian empire, and one of my warriors found some Ruins and earned me about 70 coins. My score was 14 at the time, and didn't go up due to the increased amount of money. I spent them on a tile nearby my city, and my score went from 14 to 13. Could someone pleas...

Hey, there! I have played Super Smash Flash 2 Demo for a while now. I enjoy the game very much, but you can only Brawl there. Like I said, I enjoy the game, but I want do something different using my favorite character (Ichigo :P), other than beating up other opponents. The first version of Super...
