Quickie Questions

You know what, related to the OP:

I'm sure I remember a cartoon series with a similar theme. That of different sets of instruments in a war against each other. Or was it instruments against music-hating dudes, or something?

It was a series from the 80s or 90s, I think.

• What was that movie where a computer developed a crush on a girl?

Demon Seed?

No, not that one. It was an eighties movie.

I can't view archived threads. I don't know why, and I'd like to know how to do it.

Because they're deleted.

Gone.

But you linked to a thread that I can't see here, and I'm curious as to why.

That's from before it got deleted (which was earlier this month).

^Oh. Would it be a bad idea to ask what it was about?

There's also some archived threads in the Master List of Liveforuming, which I can't access either.

It was about Perverse Sexual Lust.

Electric Dreams perhaps?

That's It! Electric Dreams! Thank You! XD

Question from a friend: " i want to know if the knowing of the probability distribution of a random variable allows you to know its mean and standard deviation"

^Uh...I don't know what s/he's talking about.

Also, if it's okay to post You Know That Show questions in this thread, then I have three Sega Genesis games that I really want to remember the name of:

• Some sort of top-down game where you played as a soldier, with two different play modes. It was a one word title, I think.
• A game starring an angel or cupid, where one of the first levels was somewhere in the clouds.
• A boxing game where you could do different things between matches to increase various stats.

Sorry for the bump/double post, but I remembered another game whose name escapes me; I think it's also a Genesis title:

• A game where you fly a jet, shooting down enemy aircraft. The view was always from the cockpit, and there was a timer that was continuous from level to level; when it ran out, it was game over. I never did get to the end...

I can only think of Jet Wave Racer or something.

Anyway, why is the WMG Guy wearing a Tinfoil hat?

Yeah that!

I hate "quickie questions" too. They always SAY it's just a quick question, but it takes so long to find an answer that satisf... oh.

Because WM Gs sound like conspiracy theories?

I can only think of Jet Wave Racer or something.

Youtube doesn't show any results for that game; none of the games were racing games, either. I was talking about the aircraft kind of jet.

Anyway, why is the WMG Guy wearing a Tinfoil hat?

Because WMG = conspiracy theories?

Why is it considered OK to make fun of Tom Cruise by implying he's gay, but not OK to make fun of Elena Kagan by implying she's gay?

I think I know the reason, but I'm interested in seeing how people respond.

Question from a friend: " i want to know if the knowing of the probability distribution of a random variable allows you to know its mean and standard deviation"

Yes, though be ready to do some potentially icky integrals/sums to get there.

And I'm linking those Wikipedia pages because they were considerably more helpful than my actual statistics course, professor, and textbook combined :|

This might seem Attention Whore-ish, but I'm kinda irritated that no one's bothered to answer most of my questions in this thread. They are, as follows:

• This Giant Bomb Quick Look is filled with Brad Garrett hate, and no reason is given, outside of the possibility that Everybody Loves Raymond wasn't a good show. I'm also annoyed and disturbed by the "There should be a game about killing him" thing.

• I'd like to know what the titles of these Sega Genesis games are (the fourth one might not be one...):
  • Some sort of top-down game where you played as a soldier, with two different play modes. It was a one word title, I think.
  • A game starring an angel or cupid, where one of the first levels was somewhere in the clouds.
  • A boxing game where you could do different things between matches to increase various stats.
  • A game where you fly a jet (the aircraft kind), shooting down enemy aircraft. The view was always from the cockpit, and there was a timer that was continuous from level to level; when it ran out, it was game over. I never did get to the end...

• Alternatively, a link to a list of all (or most) Genesis titles might work too.

What's this? An alternative site for You Tube or something else?

EDIT: Huh, it's not linking to the right page.

I'm not sure what you're talking about...

Also, I found the games I was talking about:

• The top down game is called Mercs.

• I got some things wrong about the angel/cupid game (Mega Twins/Chiki Chiki Boys); apparently the main character is a warrior, and the heaven stage is the second one.

• Boxing game is Greatest Heavyweights of the Ring.

• Jet game is G-LOC Air Battle. It also seems that there aren't a lot of videos on this one...

What were those toy cars that could open up to reveal monsterous teeth called?
