Question

Why can't I focus on my game?

Community Answer

Sometimes a game may have a strong aesthetic quality, but the gameplay may be less than engaging. This may be due to a number of reasons. However, if you find that playing the game is not keeping your interest, but you enjoy the other aspects of the game, you may want to step away from the game for a while and come back to it later. You may find that you are more receptive to the game play another day.

Question

How do I play Halo 4 on a PC?

Community Answer

You simply can't. Halo 4 is a Microsoft branded game which means it is only for Xbox. Some of their games can be purchased on the Windows store and are playable on your PC, but Halo 4 is not one of those.

Question

What do I do if the keyboard and mouse don't register at the same time?

Community Answer

First check the batteries if you have a wireless keyboard and mouse. Second, if it's a wireless board and mouse with a single wireless adapter, it can make it difficult to get both to connect. I suggest turning either the mouse or the keyboard off, letting only one connect and register at a time. I would also suggest doing this even if they both have their own wireless USB plugins. If they're both wired, you may want check for software updates for either the equipment or your computer. If none of this works, maybe the equipment needs to be replaced.

How do I get comfortable while playing a game, as far as where to sit and how to look at the TV screen?

Sit on a sofa or your favorite chair and rest your arms on a big pillow. Position the chair/sofa, if necessary.

Question

What to do when I stop for the day, without losing progress?

Ming

Community Answer

Depending on the game there is usually a save button. Most games have this feature. If there isn't any save button, then either leave the tab open or accept that the game isn't meant to be saved.
