The Random Question Thread
 

Got a question or problem you'd really like answered, but don't think it's worth making an entire thread for? Look no further, for this is the answer! Just post your question here and await a posted response. Since it was my idea, I'll start with a few of my own.
When answering a question, be sure to quote and credit each question to clarify whose question you are answering.

1) How do I get the Hadoken upgrade in Mega Man X?

2) Is it possible to find sheet music for Final Fantasy songs? If so, where?

3) How do I earn the ability to play Splitscreen Mode in Star Wars Battlefront?

4) Why are liberals referred to as "left-wing," and conservatives as "right-wing?"

5) How do I get Trillian to keep up with people continuously changing their MSN display names?

4) In the old days in either England or France, people in meetings were seperated according to politics. Conservatives sat on the right, liberals sat on the left, and independants sat in the middle.

1) Armadillo's stage. Ride to end of level. Jump off of the cart, and climb up the wall to find an energy thing. Get it and die. Repeat four times. On fifth time, a capsule will replace the energy thing. Go in it and you get the hadoken.

2) http://ffmusic.ffshrine.org/
See the side bar, clearly label.

3) You get it from the start... Under multiplayer/co-op (No idea what it is called, but I know I've used it already).

5) You can't it seems http://www.ceruleanstudios.com/forum...?threadid=9045

For all but three, a google search answered it. Google can answer all questions, so this thread probably isn't needed.

"Duct tape to hold it down, WD-40 to get it moving, and Google to replace the goddamn broken part."

1 - On addendum to that, You'll need to have everything in game, including sub tanks, powers, heart upgrades, armor upgrades, and all sub-tanks must be full.

5 - Just use MSN Pesterer. It's easier. Although a Google run should help that.

Make sure you already have ALL the upgrades and weapons.

Also, sometimes Google doesn't answer questions so well. That's why I've always wanted one of these threads.

But for me, the option is dimmed and I can't select it. I don't know what's wrong. That's what I missed, I'm pretty sure. Thanks! XD That was the idea.

How come when Superman gets hit by Mungo is Justice League Unlimited it knocks him back like 20 feet, and somehow Batman survives when hit by said Villain. Shouldn't his skull be insta crushed?

Thats the ONLY thing I've ever wonered about any superhero cartoon ever that didn't make sense.

Mungo knows that Batman doesn't have any meta-abilities, so when he punches him, he's not really trying that hard. Against Supes, he puts his whole strength into it.

Before we get on that subject, Wonder Woman saves Superman in every fight they get into in Justice League because they're avoiding being sexist.

should I think of questions, I shall post.

MammothTank-#3-Make sure both controllers are plugged in properly before you start the game. You might have to jiggle them a little in the port, I sometimes have to.

#4- More specifically, it goes back (elegedly) to the French Revolution's Parliment, where the overly political delegates would sit clumped together, with the liberals usually taking the left side of the room, and the conservative ones the right. I also read it thearorized somewhere that it has to do with handednes- left-handed people tend to be more creative and sensitive (liberal traits) and right-handed people tend to be more analytical (conservative). So, pick whichever you like.

How come hot dogs come in packages of 16 but hot dog buns come in packages of 12?

So that you have to buy several of each to balance them out, probably. That's the Industry Greed answer.

'cuz some people prefer the sausages over the bread. More for greedy people.

4) Why are liberals referred to as "left-wing," and conservatives as "right-wing?"
-To be even more specific than others have been, following the French Revolution the more extreme reformers, The Jacobins, sat to the left in the Assembly. Those who were relatively moderate (Really, they were only the moderates by now because anyone more moderate than them had been removed), The Girondins, sat to the right. A better question, however, might be to ask why those to the left are now called "liberals" and those to the right "conservatives" when (1) in most Western Democracies there are no political parties which are not, in general, liberals and (2) Liberalism, as a policitical philosophy, can just as easily lead to a right wing economic theory as to a left wing one? The answer: it's easier for people to keep track of if you only think of these things in one dimension. What would a 2 dimensional depiction of political philosophies look like, you ask?
