I'm playing through Cave Story on hard, and am a bit puzzled by how fast weapons are upgraded to their maximum level. The only 'hard' aspect seems to be the limited amount of hits you can take. Nowhere can I check which difficulty level I am playing on to double check whether I did select 'Hard' ...

Some of the turrets in Bastion fire very slow-moving, pinkish projectiles. Naturally, I tried to counter-block, but as soon as I blocked the projectile, it moved behind me in a really small circle and hit me anyway. How do I block these effectively? I've seen some of the blocked projectiles boun...

I play Quake-Live a lot, and hear people claim that they miss or are at a disadvantageous because their ping may be 30s while the person they are playing with will have 20s. Sometimes it seems even more ridiculous like 20s vs 15s. If a ping is that low, does goes lower have any noticeable effect...

Some of the Gasfellas (I believe it's the higher-level, boss-type guys) spin around and around and do quite a bit of damage if the Kid gets caught in their attack. I realise they're best dealt with from a distance, but that luxury is not always available. Is it possible to counter-block them (I...

I'm looking for some good places to grind CP. Ideally they would be: Relatively quick and painless fights. Mindless button mashing at its best. An amount of CP such that it makes sense to stop and grind there. If subsequent areas of the game are going to reward double or triple CP for the same ...

I've started playing Space Pirates and Zombies, and while I am enjoying it immensely, I've come across an issue that I am sure someone here would be able to shed some light on. I have found that with one of my ships, once I fire my weapons, I do lose energy for the shot itself, which makes perfe...

Nidoru is a level 32 sneaky archer assassin thief. She has been called "dumb" by a number of city guards (all are dead now). Well, Nidoru now wants to go to college to prove all the dead guards wrong. What benefits will she obtain from going to this college and completing their quest? Is it even...

Preface: From this question, we know that experience(XP) is shared among all participants for each enemy killed. You can see your XP meter increasing as enemies are killed, so that's fairly obvious. Once the final enemy in the wave is killed, you get an additional lump sum of XP from somewhere. I...

I dropped in on a couple co-op games in the beta today and the first thing I noticed was that everyone wasn't running for loot. This is a thing of the past, apparently, as any loot that you can see is yours and yours alone. That said, is there a limit to when loot drops for me during co-op play?...

I read somewhere that staying level 1, and refusing to enter the level up screen, would allow you to get every perk. I think the logic was something like... the game doesn't increase required experience for gaining skill levels until you take the level-up. At first this seemed true, every sne...

I've been experiencing a problem with my keyboards lately. I own an Alienware laptop M11x. I've attached a USB Trust keyboard first and experienced some problems while playing FIFA 12. Namely: When the Left and Up buttons are pressed I cannot press the buttons S, G, B, N, H. S is very important s...
