  • How should I paint my skateboard?

    So I've just gotten my first skateboard, but I don't really like the look of the bottom of it, so I'm considering painting it. Is it ok to just sandpaper it off, paint it (in this case just plain white) and apply lacquer, or do I have to do more than that? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

  • How can I improve my Wi-Fi?

    I've just moved house and finally got my internet up today after going without for over 5 weeks due to slack ISP's, but sadly it is of substantial speeds. My PC has always been able to connect to wireless fine, but now it is having great troubles.

    I have full bars of reception and Windows says my speed is 135mbps, but when i do a speed test it is unbearably slow. The other desktop in the house is connected via ethernet cable and works fine, so I've come to the conclusion that it has something to do with the router.

    There is one wall between my PC and the router and I have a wireless USB dongle to connect. I have moved the router to be over a foot away from the modem and two feet away from the microwave, but still performs terribly. I did some Googling and thought that overcrowded channels might be an issue, but there is only one wireless network within range and it is using Channel 11, and my router is set to Auto. I tried channels 1, 7 and 13 but experienced little variation in performance.

    Security type is set to WPA2-PSK and the Radio Type 802.11n.

    Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

  • Should I get The Amazing Spider-Man or Spider-Man: Web of Shadows?

    I've read about and watched videos of both of them, but I just want your guys opinions. If it helps my favorite Spider-Man movie is The Amazing Spider-Man. I am a little disappointed about how there is only a limited amount of street crimes but I suppose if there is a lot of content overall this shouldn't be a problem.

  • Which Skyrim faction are the Starks from Game of Thrones most similiar to?

    When I FINALLY get my new PC, I'm going to be starting again, and I want to base my character on Eddard Stark from Game of Thrones and am still deciding whether to join the Imperials or the Stormcloaks. So far in both my previous characters I joined the Imperials because I prefer to be on the side with the law, but I'm still not sure. Any opinions would be greatly appreciated.

  • What does it mean to dream about saving a girl from the devil?

    Now this is a little complex, so I'll dumb it down.

    Basically there's this girl I like at school, but I've never really talked to her much. I had this dream about her where I asked her out, and she accepted. The next day at school I approached her and she seemed like something was wrong, I asked her and later found that she was possessed by the Devil. To make a long story short I separated her from the Devil and the dream ended.

    I know this sounds crazy, and I've never had a dream this weird before and was just wondering what it all means.

  • What skill should I invest my spare points on in Skyrim?

    I'm one of those people who like to map out their characters for the future, so I've been using http://skyrimcalculator.com/ to plan out my future perks, and have realized that after purchasing all the perks that I want, I will still have 20 spares.

    This is my planned build: http://skyrimcalculator.com/277934

    I have Ebony armor now with the Ebony mail, and will move onto Daedric when I can. I always use greatswords (Ebony at the moment), and supplement that with my bow for long range engagements.

    I was thinking about using the leftover perks to max out the Enchanting skill tree, and that would work great in conjunction with my Smithing to make some really powerful weapons and armors, but what do you guys think?

    Thanks.

  • Should I buy Far Cry 3 or Tomb Raider (2013)?

    I have an Xbox 360 and am trying to decide which one to get. I have never played a Far Cry before, but I've played a little of Tomb Raider Anniversary. A few of my friends have Far Cry 3 so I could play with them if I had that, but I'm still not sure. If it helps I like Red Dead Redemption and Skyrim.

    Thanks

  • How can I unlock the region code on my Blu Ray player?

    I ordered a copy of Skyfall on Blu-Ray (http://www.amazon.com/Skyfall-Blu-ray-Daniel-Craig... but didn't realize until after my purchase that it is region coded to A/1 (North America, Central America, South America, Japan, North Korea, South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Southeast Asia) and I live in Australia.

    I have a Sony BDP-S390 Blu-Ray player which is region locked to Region B. How can I bypass the region code with a hack or something?

  • How do I fix my save file in Grand Theft Auto San Andreas?

    After the first mission, and when beginning the second it explains how to save the game to you and to walk into the icon. Upon walking in I choose a slot and press save. The game then exits without warning, and there is no popup or message afterwards. Upon starting GTA up again, and when I try to load it the save has a crazy name with heaps of characters and the word 'null', and when I try to load it it says 'load failed'.

  • Should I get Harley Quinn's Revenge?

    I absolutely loved both Batman Arkham Asylum and Arkham City, both of which are in my top three favorite games of all time. I have the Catwoman DLC for City, but didn't particularly enjoy it, but from what I've seen Robin seems alright to play as. I can't wait for the next game in the franchise, so will Harley Quinn's Revenge satisfy me until then? I've just finished all the side missions recently and will use any excuse to venture back into Arkham City.

    Thanks.

  • In Skyrim should I spend perks on Illusion or Alchemy?

    I am playing a thief/assassin build, spending perks in stealth, one handed, archery, lockpicking, pickpocket and light armor. I simply don't have enough perks for Illusion and Alchemy so which one should I use, keeping in mind that I would commonly be using invisibility from these.

    Thanks guys.

  • At the end of Halo 4 did the Didact die?

    So we are led to believe that he was killed in the beam of the Composer, but I thought that it only works on Humans, and the Didact is a Forerunner. Also I read on Halo Nation (the Halo wiki) that the Composer's function is to turn Humans into Prometheans, so why did everyone it was used on die? And if that is what it does, then the Didact is definitely NOT dead.

  • No reward in Skyrim Amulet of Talos quest?

    In Solitude I did the miscellaneous quest when you have to give the woman her executed husband's Amulet of Talos, but when I finished it although it was marked as complete, I kept the amulet and she said I would get a reward, but none came. I did not get the amulet from the guy's corpse after the execution, but in the catacombs like you are supposed to. Also what is the reward that I did not receive?

  • Should I restart Skyrim?

    I am almost level 30, and am going for a warrior build, but I has spent about 5 perks on speech, lock-picking, battle-axes and war-hammers that I have decided was a bad idea, as I am now using great-swords.
