I'm going to be moving tomorrow and won't have a connection to tell people if they are correct or not, since no one has answered this yet, the answer is Richard Nixon. The double post is to alert people that it's been answered.

The question is up for grabs.

Yoink. I'll be gentle.

Actor John Ratzenberger has a role In every single Pixar film to date (Pixar mastermind John Lassiter calls him their "good luck charm). He was Hamm the piggy bank in the Toy Story movies, a school of fish in Finding Nemo, P. T. Flea in A Bug's Life, the abominable snowman in Monsters, Inc., and the supervillain "Underminer" in The Incredibles. Your task, is to tell me the sitcom role of his that made him famous. Just tell me the name of the character; he's played him on one huge series and made cameos in several other spinoffs, but I'm not looking for the title, just the character.

Cheers, Mate!

He was also in Captain Planet, but I don't think you were talking about Greedly's minion as a role which made him famous smile.gif

I would have sworn it was Calvin. Like 100 times over. But I looked- and I was very wrong. DEAD WRONG! Blah. I guess it's seppuku again.


Correctly match 2 out of 4 of the sects of protestantism mentioned below with its leader- and where it flourished the best in europe.

Lutheranism
Anglican
Huguenot
Presbyterian

When you say the sects leader, I assume you mean the person to originally introduce it. In any case,I'll take a stab.

Anglican-King Henry VIII-England

Lutheranism-Martin Luther-Germany

True Enough.

Heuguenots was Calvin himself, and was France, for those of you who didn't know about the St.Bart's day massacre although later he would set up a theocracy in switzerland.

Presbyterian was Scottish and set up by a man named John Knox. Not to be confused with Henry Knox.

Since my knowlege is practically limited to games, I'll go there.

Which game featuring the Metal Gear name is the only one to not have been produced by Hideo Kojima?

I'm quite certain the answer is one of the two Metal Gear games for the NES, so I'll guess MG2: Snake's Revenge?

Wow, that didn't take long. Yes, the answer is MG2, snake's revenge. However there were 3 NES MG games, the other being japan exclusive, called Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake.
And IIRC, Snake's Revenge was a USA exclusive.

well, that's not correct. there is a game that actually has "mg" in the name that was not produced by kozima; mga. "snake's revenge" doesn't even "feature the metal gear name." the game's title is *not* mg:sr, it's just "snake's revenge."

it would be correct to say that snake's revenge, which is considered unofficial by kozima, is the only game in which he was not involved (apparently he had a hand in mga, even though he was neither producer nor director).

edit: from the first paragraph, where i explicitly dispute the formulation of fh's question, and from the second paragraph, where i offer an optional and correct alternative, the astute reader will note that i am clearly referring to the information -- and imparting the facts -- not making a judgment call. hurricanes cannot move mountains, but the sensitivites of a hummingbird are sundered by the autumn wind.

Well, I don't admit to being an expert on the Metal Gear series, but I had a hunch, took a guess, and FallingHeart decided I was right. Sorry Goz.

And now for the new bit of trivia, your task is to name every single Castlevania video game that the recurring character Alucard has appeared in. By "appeared" I mean he actually takes part in the plot and has actual dialogue, etc. The Kid Dracula games don't count and the Alcarde Spear weapon in Castlevania: Bloodlines doesn't count. However, the games that IGA removed from the Castlevania timeline for storyline reasons DO count.

EDIT: made the question less confusing

OK, I'm beginning to think that I'm the only hardcore Castlevania geek on this board, so that question is pretty close to ungettable without some research. The answer was five games: Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse (NES), Castlevania Legends (GB), Castlevania: Symphony of the Night (PS1), Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow (GBA), and Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow (DS). Let's try someting easier, shall we?

In which James Bond film do we meet the bizarre Baron Samedi? A hint: it's the most racist Bond film ever.

Yup, that's the one. It's the Bond movie where every single villain (and I mean all of them) is part of an underground organization of African-American gangsters and voodoo practicioners, and there's only two black people on Bond's side (they're both double agents and they both die). So yeah, most racist Bond movie ever.
