Rare Legendary Weapons and Locations in Fable 3

The Legendary Weapons that are considered “Rare” can be found in the 10 silver key chest in MourningWood, a Gold Door with a Rare is in The Ossuary, (also in MourningWood) and a 20 silver key chest in Millfields. There is a Gold Door in Sunset House area and a chest inside Sunset House that each have one Rare. The Demon Door in Mistpeak Valley also contains a Rare (which requires Co-op to open). After buying the fort in MouringWood and then scoring 2000 points in the mortar game awards you another Rare (thanks ElevatedPit6503). The next ones are accessible after opening Aurora, as there is a 20 key silver chest and a Demon Door in the city. The key to the chest in your Sanctuary treasury can be reached once you’ve amassed 5 million gold.  Another one is available only if you choose to mine the City of Aurora, (which is a crappy that you have to mess the city to get the Weapon). And finally the 50 key chest in Bowerstone Castle. Which means you can get 12 Rares on each play-through.

The Common weapons can be bought in shops and with a limited number of common weapons in one heroes world, (3 shops with 4 weapons each) you will need to trade or shop in others worlds.

Since there is only 12 rares available in one heroes world, the best way to get more rares is to play-through with new heroes. Expecting to trade a Rare for a Common is unlikely to happen. And as money has no real value to anyone who has played enough to be near collecting all the weapons, gold is not a trade-able asset. Also creating an other profile with a second controller, gives you the ability to not only have more heroes to collect rares but also you can use that profile to trade weapons between your main profile’s heroes.

Unbind Controls in Battlefield: Bad Company 2

Battlefield: Bad Company 2 for the PC is a mess, the shipped product had issues that were pointed out in the Beta, but alas…

Update: I think the only item that needs to be removed to fix the spinning and not being able to move left right, is the mouse look right, left and look up, down. It appears that there is a conflict with the mouse action and the shared joystick command.

My focus here is about removing the Joystick input from game options. I had originally dug through the files in the beta trying enable the throttle and trigger for my Logitek 2.4 wireless joystick, since there is apparently no way to remove (or add some joystick buttons) from the in-game option, I started digging through the input files to add or remove unwanted lines. The problem seems to be caused by the controls being designed for console game pads.

Then when I went to play the retail version, my player would not strafe or turn right or left in vehicles, (and I could type in game using those keys). I was messing with the mouse axis “look left, right” and the “look up, down” I think I switched them and the problem went away, so I was able to play. My clan-mate would go in game and spin in circles uncontrollably, with no joystick ever have been installed on the machine. He was also unable to set or unbind keys in game. This procedure fixed his problem. Continue reading

Using Wireshark for .mp3 Recovery

Ever want to pull an .mp3 from a social site so you don’t have to load said site to listen to the kick-ass tune? Know that it will be a low bitrate file so if you find you like it that much buy it from iTunes or Amazon’s mp3 download service. There still will be some music that is just not available anywhere else but on personal pages so…

Download Wireshark, and install.
