I was curious as to whether playing a fast or slow game had an affect on the difficulty of reaching certain paths to victory. It seems to me that Science and Culture victories would be much easier on slower games. I know that research times and build times scale, however; I was thinking perhaps t...

I have been playing a used copy of Arkham City and am thinking of purchasing the Catwoman DLC. Thing is I am already about 57% through the main story, (just defeated Mr Freeze). If I download catwoman now: will i miss out on all the catwoman related content previously in the story? If so how...

My PC is running Windows 7 and I tried installing Steam. I downloaded the program, and I attempted to update/ run it. It loads about half way and gives me an error message ' Steam.exe (main exception): ERROR delete of Steam.exe failed, Win32 Error 5 "Access is denied" ' to be more specific. I hav...

I was already level 34 when I found out about jumping puzzles. How do the rewards for these puzzles work? Is it worth it to go back to the starter area and complete those puzzles? If they do scale, wouldn't it be wise to save them until I'm level 80?

If I expand my current starter dimension (the one you get for free) in item size and buy a new one, does that carry over to the new one or is that money lost?

This question has been asked before, but it's outdated and the solution no longer applies: How do I continue downloading a game in Steam while playing? The answer used to be just starting the game, then swapping over to the Steam client and manually resume the downloads. This is no longer possib...

I have preordered Far cry 3 on steam but I can't seem to find where the extra missions are. Anyone know how to get access to the extra missions? Thanks

I got bored and attacked some redcoat convoys in the woods, and now I'm fairly notorious. I have two little icons of notoriety now (in an area where, as another question notes, the general base notoriety is one symbol). Is there a way to reduce this notoriety without going to a different area (or...

The PC release of the game wasn't very smooth at all. Servers were down for a large portion of the community so you weren't able to redeem your codes, you weren't able to play multiplayer and whatnot. Even now, the game is still plagued by lag, you are locked into games until after it has start...

When I play Black Ops 2, it seems that my xbox controller is inverted-example if I press up, my character looks down and vice versa. It was not like this before. Does anyone know how to reset the controller back to its original settings?

In Far Cry 3, when looking at items in your loot rucksack, each item has a 'Recommended Use.' Some say to craft certain things with them, but others simply say 'Sell.' I was wondering if there is any reason (needed for a quest/achievement/trophy/crafting later) to hold on to any of the items th...

I like to keep several save files as I play through games just in case something goes wrong (corrupted file, missed something important, etc.). When I started Far Cry 3 (Xbox 360) I was disappointed to see only 3 save game slots I could choose from. After trying to perform a manual save during ...

I've tried surviving on the map for as long as I could, I researched a lot of things and I've explored 2 conjoined islands (Very big in size). Both islands did not initially have a rock biome, just a few scattered boulders which I mined really fast, leaving me with about 12 stone, which isn't eno...

I've been playing don't starve for a while, and with the last update they added a bloom effect which is a huge decrease in my performance, when near fires my computer drops to 30 FPS or less. There is an option to toggle it, but turning it off then clicking "Apply" makes my monitor go dark, the...

I've set up 2 non-default game library locations. One in C:\Games and the other D:\Games. Steam is installed on C: so I have 2 libraries on C and one on D. When I go to install most games it lets me choose, but not Team Fortress 2. The dropdown to choose library isn't there. I'd understand if I...

In the Warcraft3 DotA, it is possible to have multiple Aegis of Immortality by having killed Roshan and nobody picking up the Aegis, thus when Roshan respawns after 10mins it will still be there and there you'll have two Aegis. Is this still possible in Dota2?

It is a known fact that putting wards inside the neutral spawn camps prevents them from spawning but recently, I see our neutrals camps not spawning any creeps. I checked the replay and saw that the opposing team put the ward behind the neutral camp instead of the usual in-front. This is new to ...

The main reason why I steer clear of Microsoft products in general is that they always seem to assume that I want the product I'm using to speak the language of the location I'm at. Absolutely 100% of all interaction I have had with Microsoft products has defaulted to the Norwegian language, and ...

I pretty often hear SC2 shoutcasters talking about code A and code S. What is it, exactly ? A league ? Some sort or special ranking for grand master (translation of the french name of the highest rank in SC2 ladder, not sure it's the same in other languages) ?

So I asked this a few days ago: Why was this mod flag denied? Today, I happened to notice that the non-answer in question has been removed, which makes me feel like I have a black mark against me for no reason. It also confuses me because now I still don't know whether my flag was correct or ...

Today some jerk joined the Arqade group on Steam and started spamming people with links to a lookalike phishing site. You know, like this but with "store.steampowered.com" instead of "twitter.com": Image from the OpenDNS Phishing quiz. Hint: this one is a phish. Now, I've kicked him f...
