How can I jump across the bridge?

I'm playing Half-Life 2 Episode 2 and I need to get this car to the other side of the bridge. Perhaps I'm missing something dead obvious, but how on earth do I do this? It seemed some in-game event triggered the bridge to move, when I reloaded the game it was pointing the right way. But if you jump on the middle part (there's another part behind this one), it triggers the event where the bridge tilts. So jumping to get the cars out of the way seems a no-go. Since I didn't trust the current answers, I went looking elsewhere . . . [More]

Does the Cursed Scythes buff not work with the Zweihander?

Why remove redstone dust from my command block contraptions?

Whenever I show my command block contraptions to my friends, they always comment that I should remove the redstone dust from them. They say it causes lag and that redstone can be unpredictable, but I've never had a problem like that.  Even if I did, I would just slow down the clock I'm using a bit and add comparators or repeaters to get it to work. Besides, if I don't use redstone dust, how am I supposed to activate things like pistons and redstone lamps? If I need redstone dust in order to make my command block contrapti . . . [More]

Is it a problem if the wall portion of a bedroom overlaps with another one in Dwarf Fortress?

I've just recently learned that a bedroom should contain the walls too, but I only have a 1 tile wide wall between my bedrooms. Is it a problem if these room designations overlap? Question from user Adam Arold at stackexchange. Answer: The short answer is: Bedrooms that share walls simply have walls that exist in both rooms simultaneously (with no loss of value or function). In this sense, there's no problem with shared walls. The slightly longer answer is: Engravings are directional. If you engrave the walls, the engravi . . . [More]

Best way of accumulating large amounts of Candy Corn in GW2

The new Blood and Madness season has begun in GW2. New items have become available from the TP. These items range in price from 1 - 12 Candy Corn Cobs. The only way I know to get 1 Candy Corn Cob, is by combining 1,000 pieces of Candy Corn. I know three methods of getting Candy Corn:. Mining Candy Corn nodes around Tyria, each one producing maybe 10 pieces of Candy Corn if you're lucky. Buying them on the TP.

What do I get for collecting the golden coins in Bowsers Fury? What advantages does it have?

When I play Super Mario 3D World, I get an extra life for every 100 coins I've collected. In Bowser's Fury there are also plenty of coins I can collect. But I don't see a counter for Mario's lifes. So what is the advantage of collecting these coins? When Mario dies, of course, the amount of coins is reduced. But it seems: never to 0 coins. Question from user jmizv at stackexchange.

How to view your Steam Year in Review from your profile?
