Q: What was the name of this old children's computer game set in medieval times?

I was born in 1996, and sometime when I was young, not sure what age exactly, I remember playing this cartoony point and click game where you had to solve puzzles and stuff. It was similiar to the "pajama sam" games. It took place in a castle and I think there were missing knights of the round ta...

I heard EA removed Dragon Age 2 from Steam today.

Something about how EA is selling DLC in the game.

Yeah. AKA EA wants to make it Origin only.

I hear Nintendo cut its profit forecast for this quarter by 82%. Hence the 3DS price drop.

FallenAngelEyes

Yeah. Almost maybe kinda tempted to get one now.

Powerlord

Of course, right now, Nintendo's trying to shift as many at the current price point as they can by giving away a bunch of upcoming Virtual Console titles.

But the battery problem is going to remain a problem.

Just FYI.

@Mana How strange.

Don't you agree that is strange @Powerlord?

Powerlord

@Wipqozn Do you have any idea how tempted I am to flag posts like that for moderator attention?

It'd be like if I mentioned bacon in every post I made.

Grace Note

So, not tempted at all?

Wipqozn

@Powerlord If it helps, I find that very amusing.

@Mana How was 999?

Powerlord

@GraceNote Some context is in order: Everything Wipqozn said for like an hour in here yesterday (probably 20+ posts) included the word strange.

Wipqozn

16:13

It was pretty much hilarous.

For me anyways.

Grace Note

@Powerlord Ooh, how attractive a prospect the corny response to this would be...

Wipqozn

Further context being powerlord was talking about strange weapons.

Powerlord

I talked about them for maybe 3-5 minutes.

Wipqozn

Yeah, but that was the context behind the hilarous and completely genuis joke.

Mana

@Wipqozn Oh man, I don't think I can say enough that it was AWESOOOOOME YO

Powerlord

16:15

That great. I can't find the Youtube video of the Dilbert TV show where Dilbert explains what Beating a Dead Horse means to the PHB.

Apparently Scott Adams released some other Dilbert short about Dead Horses and that's all a Google search finds now.

Wipqozn

Why would you beat a dead horse?

Also, give me a minute. I'm finding it.

Found it.

@Mana Yeah, it sounds very interesting. I might pick it up and play it on my 3DS. You know, since there is nothing else to play on it :P

Powerlord

Fun fact: EMACS has been violating the GPL since 2009.

Brant

Ooh! Explain.

Mana

@Powerlord So I just found out!

Wipqozn

Are we hating on EMACS?

Grace Note

16:20

@Wipqozn Mana's implication was that it was playable on the DS

Mana

Here is the thread.

Wipqozn

I've never used EMACS before, but I use VIM so I think I'm required to hate it.

Mana

@Wipqozn The best part of the 3DS' library is all the old DS games!

Grace Note

@Mana This is reading like an exchange in a story. "We must not lead people to violate the GPL!"

Wipqozn

@Mana Don't forget the VC games.

Powerlord

16:23

@GraceNote Well, Richard Stallman is a pretty important guy in the GPL world, and EMACS is one of the few things that he personally wrote...

Brant

@Mana Heh. Oops.

Grace Note

@Powerlord I'm aware of Stallman, which makes his dedication very noble and I quite respect that. But it also makes him the awesome gruff commander type.

RMS is like Dumbledore to the GPL's Hogwarts. Or something like that. I just read the entire Harry Potter series so I'm seeing things like that everywhere.

Hehe

Powerlord

I'm sorry, I can't believe I suggested that, even jokingly. They took so much out of the movies I have seen that... well... just stick with the books, at least before seeing the movies.

Grace Note

@Powerlord I've always been ahead of the movies with the books, and noting what is sacrificed. Some of it, for space constraints, it made sense

Powerlord

Here, I'll spoil book 7 for you: It has Harry Potter in it!

It has Snape in it!

But they took out one of the best parts of book 1 in the movie, so I've never really been all that razzled about it.

Powerlord

It has Voldemort in it!

It has [the entire cast] in it!

Mana

16:30

Oh man, my mouse just ran out of batteries.

Powerlord

@GraceNote The sad part is that book 1 is the shortest book, so they have the least excuse to remove stuff.

@Mana That's why I don't use wireless mice on my desktop.

Now I have to wait for it to recharge...

@Powerlord The part they removed wasn't even a matter of time, either, which is more infuriating (I'm referring to the "There's no wood!" "YOU'RE A WITCH!" exchange)

@Grace I think English chat puns are starting to rub off on you.

Grace Note

That's what Shog9's response was, too, as it were

At any rate, they included the scene that was featured in, with all of the elements it had, except that one exchange. It'd be at least passably disappointing if they had simply skipped the scene, but...

Argh, what's the full name of that comedy actor whose first name is Gabe?

I'm kinda stuck on Gilbert Gottfried, myself

I knew a boy in college who, when flustered and angry, sounded quite like him.

Maybe his first name isn't even Gabe. Maybe I'm just insane.

Powerlord

Amusingly, Gilbert Gottfried has done voices in at least one videogame... specifically Norse by Norsewest (aka Lost Vikings 2).

@Mana Both very logical conclusions

Powerlord

In the versions of that game that have voice, which is everything other than the SNES version.

@bwarner I'd hold out a bit if you feel it.

It's the kind of question that we can always submit better strategies for.

@bwarner You may be giving me more credit than I deserve here. I hear from @Grace that some of these puzzles are pretty devious.
