Who knew again?

[krogothwolf]

Xenogears

[Geminex]

Humm. I'm torn between Bioshock and Mass Effect 2.
Gonna go for Mass Effect 2.

[Masked Jedi]

Dungeons and Dragons. Any edition.

[Ape Boy]

Let's roll with Final Fantasy VI (III)

[DarthMauler64]

Super Mario RPG

[Archbio]

Warhammer: Fantasy Roleplay.

Severed limbs ahoy!

[Si Civa]

As Seil didn't choose Chrono Trigger, I will pick it.

(Though I curse Ape boy)

[Wigmund]

Paranoia

[42PETUNIAS]

Kotor

[greed]

Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne

[Krylo]

MaskedJedi--Fuck D&D.

Greed--Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne--This some kinda weeaboo shit, son?

Seil--Vagrant Story--Never played.

Archbio--Warhammer Fantasy--Never Played. Probably cool though, with the greenskins and all. The MMORPG sucked, though.

Wigmund--Paranoia--Sounds kinda neat, never played it.

Bard--Fallout 2--In so much as I've said that FO2 is a good game, I've also said it's not a game that I particularly enjoy.

Whomper--Dragon Warrior--Thou hast slain the slime. Thou hast increased in experience by 10.

DarthMauler--SMRPG--Campy and fun, but not like... mind blowing or whatever.

Ape Boy--FFVI--Tied with XII for best of the series.

42Petunias--Kotor--Fun game, but I couldn't quite bring myself to play through a second time. Did enjoy Bindo and my Guardian though.

Si Civa/Krogo--Xenogears/Chrono Trigger, respectively--These are probably better games for their genre than the winner, but I prefer WRPGs with branching storylines to JRPGs, so while I would, were I attempting to give an objective analysis, rate these games higher than that which actually won, filtered through my own personal biases they tie for second. The fact that this means I don't have to choose between them is just icing on the cake.

Geminex--Mass Effect 2--This is the only game on the list that lets me punch reporters and shove mercenaries out of windows. A winner is you.

Instant winner would have been Dragon Age. Probably. Other high rankers would have been pretty much any of the Wild Arms or Breath of Fire series.


Geminex, take it away.

[Professor Smarmiarty]

I make it 5 days dead so Imma get this going again based on a rant I had today:
Most ridiculous academic subjects

[krogothwolf]

It has to be Philosophy and Star Trek.

https://myaccess.georgetown.edu/pls/bninbp/bwckschd.p_disp_detail_sched?term_in=200930&crn_in=18008

[Geminex]

Astrology.

[Ape Boy]

Considering the source, let's say Physical Education

[Professor Smarmiarty]

These are all terrible answers. I'll give till tonight- maybe someone will come up with something good.

[Krylo]

Fine, then.

Stab in the dark: Literary Theory.

[42PETUNIAS]

Drama

[Professor Smarmiarty]

My brain is too tired to write up-
so
Runner up- Krylo
Winner- Archbio
Everything else was terrible.
Autowinner was economics/business or all subjects are shit.

[Archbio]

Hey, what's the hold up in this game? Oh.

Well, lets try this:

Best Specific Fictional Location.

[Si Civa]

Pepperland.

[42PETUNIAS]

Discworld

[McTahr]

Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory.

[Bard The 5th LW]

Pandora (from Avatar)

Everything there glows! Whats not to like! Its perfect if you're a Na'vi, or N'vi impersonator.

[krogothwolf]

Sunnydale!

[Ape Boy]

Rapture

...Or does 60's steam-punk sci-fi not count?

[The Artist Formerly Known as Hawk]

Raccoon City.

[Krylo]

Candyland.

[Wigmund]

Arkham Asylum, Gotham City, somewhere up in the Northeastern region of the United States

[Seil]

Metropolis

[Archbio]

Pandora (from Avatar) - Bard - Didn't see it! Penalty for hyperhype. Or Hypehype.
Discworld - 42PETUNIAS - Didn't read about it!
Candyland - Krylo - Isn't that a board game? At least it's magical.
Metropolis (Superman) - Seil - In itself it's a pretty generic place, isn't it?
Sunnydale! - krogothwolf - One half of it is hell and the other half is worse, isn't it?
Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory - McTahr - Penalty because of my hate for Wonka.
Metropolis (Fritz Lang) - Seil - It's a classic!
Arkham Asylum, Gotham City - Wigmund - Awesome atmosphere, but functionally a joke.
Raccoon City - Hawk - Functionally a disturbing, creepy joke.
Pepperland - Si Civa - Magical undersea land. But I don't really care for music, do I?
Rapture - Ape Boy - Steampunk wins everything ever. Also underwater.

[Ape Boy]

HOO-RAY for punks and their steaming!

I'm thinking about a Daily Double. Two topics, winning poster will be the one who has the aggregate best answers.

Lets go with "Best Singular Web Comic Strip" (provide link) and "Best Dessert" (provide pic).

Example answer:

Comic (http://www.lfgcomic.com/page/1) & Dessert (http://miemo.net/photos/dessert.jpg)

[Archbio]

Carrot Cake (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/25/Carrot_cake.jpg) & Hark a Vagrant! 213 (http://harkavagrant.com/index.php?id=213)

[Wigmund]

Lackadaisy (http://lackadaisy.foxprints.com/index.php) (every single comic is the best) & Key Lime Pie (http://thegreencuttingboard.blogspot.com/Key-lime-pie.jpg)

[Whomper]

Spirit (http://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/spirit.png) (XKCD) and Boston Cream Pie (http://www.sangabrielvalleymenus.com/images/reviews/onlyplace/bostoncreampie.jpg)

(Seriously, that comic nearly made me cry it was so well done.)

[brown_tiger]

Looking for Group and ice cream

(trust me LFG is freaking HALARIOUS)

[krogothwolf]

Dr McNinja and a Sundae.

I'll link things later, going for supper!

[Ape Boy]

Let's give it to Whomper for this one

[Whomper]

Favorite movie character.

[Wigmund]

Nikola Tesla in The Prestige

[Si Civa]

Indiana Jones.

[Whomper]

Hmmmm.... so many good choices, it's hard to decide!

I think I'll go with Indiana Jones.

[Si Civa]

It's like people went to movies into another theatre. (That was lame and I know it)

I'm going to be old fashioned guy all over again and let you guys suggest me the best The Beatles song and because I'm such a nice chap you can always take their solo songs too. Jolly good, isn't it?

I really didn't know what to else ask. :/

[Viridis]

Hey Jude, because somebody's gotta say it.

[krogothwolf]

Helter Skelter?

[Archbio]

I am the Walrus.

[Professor Smarmiarty]

Octopus's Garden or you are doing it wrong

[Krylo]

Yellow Submarine.

It's at least the catchiest. Tune never leaves your head.

[Whomper]

When I'm Sixty-Four

[Si Civa]

5. When I'm Sixty-Four - Paul boy has written better things than this one. The scene in Yellow Submarine was very beardy though.

4. Helter Skelter - Slightly better but I'm not fan of heavy music (I'm totally bad at being Finn you know). Also the connection with Manson kinda kills every positive thing about this song but I didn't let this affect in rating.

3. Yellow Submarine - I remember how I once joked that I would rather play this song than Black Sabbath's Paranoid. The instrument was of course air guitar.

2. I am the Walrus - "Let's see the fuckers figure that one out"

1. Octopus's Garden - The best song by Ringo, no doubt about that.

1. Hey Jude - Not the best song Paul has made, but it's still quite damn good.

Nowhere man, Across the universe, A day in the life, While my guitar gently weeps and maybe some of their solo songs would have topped this list though.

Their best one was of course Abbey Road medley. The whole album kinda rolls and rocks.

[Viridis]

Favorite junk food. Sugary stuff, salted snacks, carbonated beverages, etc.

[krogothwolf]

Donuts with Sprinkles.....mmmm Donuts

[The Artist Formerly Known as Hawk]

THIS (http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/3092/images/3092_MEDIUM.jpg) chocolate cake!

[greed]

As I had it tonight, fried chicken.

[Wigmund]

Dr Pepper

[Kerensky287]

Gummy worms.

[Geminex]

Battered Mars Bar. Heaven. Pure heaven.

[Token]

Deadpool cookies.

[Viridis]

Going go with Dr. Pepper, the drink I inhale, but all the answers were good. Deadpool cookies would have won if I'd ever actually had any.

[Wigmund]

Favorite city-destroying menace

[McTahr]

Mecha-Streisand.

[The Artist Formerly Known as Hawk]

Gota go with the king of city destruction here; Godzilla.

[Viridis]

Megas XLR, made all the worse better they never mean to.

[krogothwolf]

The Hulk!

[Whomper]

DRAGONZORD

[Archbio]

Akira!

You won't even know what hit you.

Seriously, you won't know.

[Wigmund]

6) Mecha-Streisand
5) The Hulk
4) Dragonzord
3) Godzilla
2) Akira
1) Megas XLR

Megas XLR would have been an instant winner. However, since Viridis had the round just before me I'm gonna give this to McTahr for being such a good sport and coming in last place.

So take it away McTahr

[McTahr]

Favorite chemical equation.
Specific or general.

[Archbio]

I'm going to go with the classic (or uninspired?) H2 + O → H2O.

It's a life saver!

[Geminex]

In general, I'd say oxidization is cool. Though I haven't actually thought about that yet.

[krogothwolf]

Glucose Fermenting to Ethanol!!

C6H12O6 → 2C2H5OH + 2CO2

I think I got that right! I always thought it produced energy to though...man it's been so long since I took chemistry

[Si Civa]

Lead to gold.

Alchemy is fantastic.

[Wigmund]

ClF3 - Chlorine trifluoride (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chlorine_trifluoride)

It eats everything (http://pipeline.corante.com/archives/2008/02/26/sand_wont_save_you_this_time.php):
"It is, of course, extremely toxic, but that's the least of the problem. It is hypergolic with every known fuel, and so rapidly hypergolic that no ignition delay has ever been measured. It is also hypergolic with such things as cloth, wood, and test engineers, not to mention asbestos, sand, and water-with which it reacts explosively. It can be kept in some of the ordinary structural metals-steel, copper, aluminum, etc.-because of the formation of a thin film of insoluble metal fluoride which protects the bulk of the metal, just as the invisible coat of oxide on aluminum keeps it from burning up in the atmosphere. If, however, this coat is melted or scrubbed off, and has no chance to reform, the operator is confronted with the problem of coping with a metal-fluorine fire. For dealing with this situation, I have always recommended a good pair of running shoes."

[McTahr]

5. Wigmund. Chlorine Tri-fluoride. Not a reaction, just a chemical.
4. Si Civa. Lead to gold. Theoretically possible with the removal of enough neutrons and protons (Basically via neutron blasting or some shit if I remember correctly, and I probably don't.) and I believe it's even been done once, but the energy required far far outweighed the monetary value of the gold itself.
3. Archbio. Forming of water from elemental gases. Boring.
2. Krogothwolf. Forming of ethanol from fermenting glucose. Booze am nice.
1. Geminex. Oxidation (In general). Now we're talkin'. Oxidation is one of the driving forces behind the crazy shit you see that there ClF3 doing, resulting in effectively explosive reactions from little or no ignition, pushing along chemical fires and generally just horribly awesome things.

Combustion or creation of rocket fuels would have also been good answers.

Geminex, do stuff.

[krogothwolf]

STOLEN!!! Favourite Spaceship.

[The Artist Formerly Known as Hawk]

Millenium Falcon.

[Viridis]

The Heart of Gold.

The Satellite of Love

[Archbio]

Ragnarok, (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NoCYz6bbDu0) from Final Fantasy VIII.

[krogothwolf]

7. Wigmund - Satellite of Love - Meh, it was alright I guess.
6. Si Civa - Non Exploding Death Star - There is no such thing!
5. Archbio Ragnarok from FF VIII - Bleeea?
4. Hawk - Millennium Falcon - A PARSEC IS NOT A UNIT OF DISTANCE!
3. Viridis - Heart of Gold - Sweet!
2. Greed - Star Trek: NG Enterprise - I liked this ship for some odd reason.
1. Masked Jedi - Serenity - I love this ship!

Masked Jedi has won it! Take it away toys!

Instant winner would have been........The RED DWARF!!!

[Masked Jedi]

Gah. Um.

Favorite Musical

Stage, Internet, Movie, whatever.

[Viridis]

Ugh.

I guess. Viridis wins. Since he was the only one to mention a musical I like. Or have seen.

No Rocky Horror? No Once More? No Singin' in the Rain? No motherfucking Spirng Awakening?

*cries*

[Whomper]

I would've mentioned Mamma Mia just to spite you, but I wasn't in the mood to think of something if I had won.

[Fifthfiend]

Going go with Dr. Pepper, the drink I inhale, but all the answers were good. Deadpool cookies would have won if I'd ever actually had any.

They were delicious.

Ugh.

I guess. Viridis wins. Since he was the only one to mention a musical I like. Or have seen.

No Rocky Horror? No Once More? No Singin' in the Rain? No motherfucking Spirng Awakening?

*cries*

I would have posted Glee.

[Viridis]

Crap totally forgot I won this.

Most existential/depressing moment? Personal experience or from media.

[A Zarkin' Frood]

Ho-kay. If you don't know the greatness that is Berserk I'll change my thingy. TO METAL!!!

Metallica's One (http://lyrics.wikia.com/Metallica:One)

?One? was written in November 1987 by Metallica?s principal composers ? rhythm guitarist/vocalist James Hetfield and drummer Lars Ulrich. This song details the life of a soldier after he becomes a decerebrated paraplegic. During his time in the hospital, he reflects on his life and things his father told him. The doctors become worried because he does not die. The soldier finally uses Morse Code in an attempt to communicate. During a visit to the hospital, another soldier recognizes the code and tells the visiting general that the Morse Code is saying ?Kill me.?

[Fifthfiend]

Crap totally forgot I won this.

Most existential/depressing moment? Personal experience or from media.

This question

[Krylo]

The day you realized your parents had to have sex to have made you.

[Fifthfiend]

"Hey I'm Viridis, I'm gonna make people relive every terrible depressing fucking thing that's ever happened to them in their lives for the sake of winning a contest."

"Hey look there's Fifthfiend with a knife"

*stabstabstab*

[Fifthfiend]

Has Viridis not answered or did I literally stab him to death to snake the next Who Knew topic? A mystery for the ages!!

Either way -

Stupidest invention

[Archbio]

The anti-bandit bag.

http://thecampussocialite.com/blog/images/banditbag.jpg

Description from here: (http://www.thecampussocialite.com/inventions-for-imbeciles-part-i/#more-11987)

This bag was designed to prevent thieves from getting their greedy hands on your stuff, only it doesn’t work all that well. On the anti-bandit bag, invented in 1963 by John Rinfret, you pull a chain and the bottom of the case falls out, scattering your belongings on the floor. Um, but then the thieves can just grab your stuff off the ground. The bag causes a minor inconvenience at most for the robber and if anything puts your safety in even greater jeopardy as you now have to deal with a pissed off assailant who is in no mood to pick up all of your belongings.

[Krylo]

This. (http://www.bladderbuddy.com/)

[Si Civa]

Fifthfiend

[Sun-Wukong]

This. (http://www.bladderbuddy.com/)

Not even close. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whizzinator) (NSFW, literally it would seem)

[Fifthfiend]

five months later Sun Wukong's thing attempts to circumvent the law which I philosophically approve of, I am not a valid response, Krylo's thing is man I'm just not gonna give the win to an invention that involves pee, Archbio's invention was neither 1. me or 2. involving pee thusly ARCHBIO WINS

[Archbio]

Lets see if this thing picks up:

Favorite henchperson or henchthing.

Offhand, I must say Bad Horse's Chorus (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7X1VjGsZeyw).
