NeophobiA 1,503 Report post Posted January 28, 2015 How To Google Not everything on the internet is true 'Google-Fu' is a martial art that gets better with practice, but here are some quick tips to help sharpen your searches.Don't google the question, Google the answer. 'Watch Dogs crashes Randomly' will give dozens of forum posts, but the answers will mostly be a mix of blandf advice, requests for detailed crash logs and suggestions of things to try. Instead, Google 'Watch Dogs patch notes' and you can quickly skim the list of bug fixes to see if any of them address your problem.Ignore search results that are YouTube videos. A video is much harder to skim and the comments section offersvery poor feedback.Avoid slideshows too. '8 tips for getting Watch_Dogs running smoothly' is just a way for commercial sites to generate page views. Six of those tips will be genericthings like 'upgrade your RAM' and 'install the latest drivers' and the other two won't apply to you.Use the wisdom of crowds. Don't look for a single forum post with definitive 'right' answer, skim all the sites on the first page or two of the search results and look for common patterns. If the same fix is confirmed on several different sites, it's more likely to be reliable.Know which sites to trust. Search results from stackexchange.com are particularly valuable because they use a rigorous voting system for the answers. Game developer forums and answers.microsoft.com are the next tier down. Sites like answers.yahoo.com and answers.com are garbage. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
