Long-Term Multiplayer Browser Strategy Games (Like Neptune's Pride)?
A few of my friends and I all want to start playing a multiplayer strategy game between us, and we're looking for the kind of long-term games that last weeks.
Browser games seem to be the best choice, but perhaps there's an iPhone or Android game that fits the bill?
Neptune's Pride is almost exactly the kind of thing I'm looking for, but you have to pay to be able to create a game, which isn't what I want.
4 AnswersVideo & Online Games8 years agoWhich fabrics are best for which temperatures?
I'm creating clothing for medieval battle recreation, and am limited to non-synthetic fabrics (which I'd imagine would be things like wool, fleece, linen, cotton, silk, etc).
Which fabrics are best when running around in the heat, and which should I be saving for winter-garb?
Trade-offs for each fabric?
2 AnswersFashion & Accessories9 years agoCan't cycle through fonts in Photoshop?
I'm using CS5.
So, when I have text selected, I know that I can click on the current font and use the up and down arrow keys to rapidly change the font of my text--cycling through the different fonts. Unfortunately, my Photoshop has recently only been allowing me to do that a few times (5 or 6) before telling me:
"Could not complete your request due to a program error."
How can I fix this?
1 AnswerSoftware9 years agoHow do I direct my owned domain to my Blogspot portfolio?

PS: If it helps, my custom domain is registered through GoDaddy.
1 AnswerGoogle9 years agoConfused about AD&D 2nd Edition Non-Weapon Proficiencies?
Looking over the non-weapon proficiencies of 2nd Edition, I'm confused particularly by the modifiers.
I understand that, when a check is required, you roll a d20, add the modifier, and then see if it's equal-to or lower than the ability score.
However, the non-weapon proficiencies seem to provide both positive and negative modifiers. So, for example, training in Seamanship (+1), seems to be adding to my score, when I want that score LOWER, not higher.
While there's, say, Airborne Riding (-2), that subtracts from my score, being an actual benefit.
I'm obviously misinterpreting something.
Help?

2 AnswersGender Studies9 years agoHow to dispose of spores in my drinks?
I have a nasty habit of leaving drinks sitting out too long.

How do I dispose of them properly? Should I flush it, or is down the sink okay? Etc.
2 AnswersBiology9 years agoHow to Unclog a Cup of Ramen from the Toilet?
So I flushed an empty Styrofoam cup of ramen down the toilet in my dorm room.
Now, nothing flushes. What can I do to solve this on my own?
I've flushed the toilet several times, and it hasn't flooded yet, but I can assume it's rather down in the pipes.
Other than calling for assistance, what can I do MYSELF to fix this problem?

1 AnswerVideo & Online Games10 years agoWhat is the name of this amusement park ride?
It was a single arm that rotated vertically, similar to a ferris wheel, with one seat on either side of the arm (the seat could hold two people). The way it was made, as one set of people was getting off, the other two were sitting at the very top, and the seat would rock back and forth.
3 AnswersAmusement Parks10 years agoWhich is healthier to drink every day: milk or green tea?
I recently bought quite a bit of almond milk, and it was actually really good. When I realized it only had a fridge-life of about 3 days, though, I quickly went from slowly savoring it to chugging it with every possible meal. Regardless, it was still very good, and I felt reassured knowing it was healthy for me.
Then I started considering other healthy drinks, and green tea came to mind. I used to drink the citrus Lipton version, and it was really good. I just haven't gone back to it in a while.
So, the question is which is better to drink on a daily basis. Consider that I would be drinking it EXCLUSIVELY, so there won't be any mixing or alternating. It's either green tea daily or milk daily.

1 AnswerWords & Wordplay10 years agoWhere can I get someone to design a fabric pattern for me?
I know incredibly little about fabric and making clothes, but I've been needing to create garb for one of my LARPing groups. I have a drawing of what I want ( http://oi52.tinypic.com/2v1kfq1.jpg ), but I've recently learned that, when making clothes, you have to first create a pattern to ensure the fabric is cut correctly.
Personally, I don't have an eye for this, but is there somewhere online that, given my measurements, someone could design a pattern for me?
1 AnswerFashion & Accessories1 decade agoHow to remove this virus?
Yesterday I began receiving several popups that all mention:
"c:\\progra~2\fogayopo\fogayopo.dll is either not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error"
And, at the top of every window, it will be titled:
"(Program I just tried to open) - Bad Image"
After searching on google, I learned that it is, indeed, a virus, but got very little help removing it.
I did see one website suggest:
"Go to Start > Run > type cmd and then click the "OK" button.
Unregister FOGAYOPO.DLL file, type in the directory path + "regsvr32 /u FOGAYOPO.DLL "and press the "Enter" button. A message will pop up that says you successfully unregistered the file.
Restart your computer,after you power on your computer, repeatedly press the F8 key,choose Safe Mode and presss Enter. Delete FOGAYOPO.DLL . Restart your computer."
But what they are telling me to type into the command prompt doesn't work. I recieve a message that begins "The module FOGAYOPO.DLL failed to load"
Any help, please?
PS: I did a full, thorough AVG scan and it didn't solve the problem.
1 AnswerSecurity1 decade agoGive hope to a future medical student?
My girlfriend will be graduating this year, and she hopes to study to become a doctor. She enjoys the idea and is hardworking and capable enough to do it, and I know that. Part of the reason she is doing it, however, is because of her parents expectations. They literally expect nothing from her other than her becoming a successful doctor.
So, my question is, can you maybe give her some hopeful advice?
She constantly explains to me the oppressive number of years to study, not to mention the rigorous hours and the burdening expectations of both her teachers, patients, and parents.
Not to mention, apparently a large number of students drop out under the strain and are left feeling wasted and jobless.
She understands it's difficulty--maybe all too well, but surely there must be SOME bright side?

1 AnswerFashion & Accessories1 decade agoSleeping disorder? Answering the phone in my sleep?
Yesterday, my girlfriend called me whilst I was asleep, and I only vaguely remember telling her to "weigh something". She told me today that I had suggested that she write her weight down and go to a website that would suggest ways to lose weight. None of that I remember.
Again, she called tonight. Not even vaguely do I remember her calling. She asked me what I was doing, and I said "Just sitting here.." and I refused to tell her that I had be sleeping, though she knew I had been.
It has been becoming a serious problem, and I'm frightened by the idea of not having control over myself while I sleep.
What exactly is wrong with me, and what can I do to solve it? (Other than, most obviously, just turning my phone off).
5 AnswersMental Health1 decade agoSCAD's graduation rate?
This page is a little confusing to me:
http://www.scad.edu/about/completion-graduate-tran...
Is it implying that only 51% of it's Caucasian students graduated after 4 years (which I'm assuming represents the time it takes to get a bachelor's degree)?
Isn't that outright dreadful? I'm just a little confused. Perhaps I'm reading this incorrectly.
Is there another source, maybe, that can give me a straighter, more optimistic estimate?
1 AnswerOther - Education1 decade agoTracking position in After Effects CS5?
I'm doing a commercial as a school project, and the idea is that I'm placing a persons mouth on a stuffed animal and having it talk.
I have two footage clips: one of the boy saying his lines, and the other of the stuffed animal being held up.
I've masked around the boys mouth and feathered it, but now I have to have it's position match that of the stuffed animal's mouth (it is being held, and it's position is constantly shifting).
I've already gone through and used the "Tracker" to track the motion of the stuffed animal's mouth, but I get confused because it turns those keyframes into "motion tracker" keyframes, and I don't know how to link those keyframes to the position of the boy's mouth.
Any help would be appreciated!
1 AnswerSoftware1 decade agoTypical Video Sizes by Length? (HD and otherwise)?
I'll be getting my first DSLR camera within a week or so (it's, honestly, my first ACTUAL camera), and one of the things I have been trying to investigate is how large some videos can be.
I was wondering what's the typical size for a 1 minute video shot in HD and a 1 minute video not, and also whether post-production color-correction or anything like that can change the typical size.
