Hint, hint.

Never run Winsxs lite to reduce size of the WinSXS folder if you have Vista or 7.
I did it, everything was going smooth until yesterday.
Then an update failed to install and now I'm here, having to backup all my stuff because I have to format my laptop.

None of my development tools are starting. None.

Cat from two doors down is sitting, curled up, possibly asleep, on my chair in the lounge.
He's so cute!

quick, grab it and keep it!

[Thufir]

If we keep him we have to feed him. As it is, he comes and visits us on a regular basis, but it doesn't cost us anything. I am happy with this arrangement.

Go pet him! Do it! Now! Before he goes!

[Dallas-Dakota]

So I just managed to burn water....

I'm usually not quite bad a chef, but this evening has just been bad for me, bad in gaming and now this....

[Thajocoth]

And I haven't even played the game!

I think it was free on Steam for a day not long ago.

[Dogmantra]

I think it was free on Steam for a day not long ago.

It was free for longer than a day. At least a weekend, maybe even a week. No excuse, Mr Reshtin.

[Fifty-Eyed Fred]

I think it was a fortnight, actually. That's when I downloaded it.

[Thufir]

He can't leave until I open the front door to let him out. I will assuredly get sufficient cat-stroking in.
And he'll be back another day as well. MWAHAHAHAHA!

It was free for two weeks.

Did you have oil in it? That would explain how it caught fire.

Also, blarghityblargh I am sooo overthinkified I cannot use complex words like...like...BLARGH! Dx

[KuReshtin]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.. Bad Ku, not playing Portal.
I get it.

[Fifty-Eyed Fred]

ULTIMATE NINJA VICTORY

Naw. Don't worry about it. We've all missed out on games that we wish we could've played.

I for one cannot forgive myself for never having even touched a copy of "Banjo-Kazooie".

[Gullara]

ULTIMATE NINJA VICTORY

Yes it was, and nobody noticed because you said fortnight

Banjo-Kazooie wasn't really that great. Zelda was always better.

What's wrong with the word fortnight? I know it's considered archaic in the US (is it so in Canada as well?) but in Britain that's not the case, and Thufir is a fellow Englishman.

It is a very uncommon word over here. I only know it because of this site and I read a lot. I also forgot that Thufir was an Englishman.

But see, I wouldn't know that because I've never played the game. :(

[Gullara]

True. The only solution is to track down an N64 and the game and play it.

[Trobby]

...

True...;-; I don't think they have it on Wiiware. That'd be my only option.

You could go to Nintendo and "persuade" them to put it on Wiiware.

[Recaiden]

Naw. Don't worry about it. We've all missed out on games that we wish we could've played.

He's right. It was a good game, but it wasn't especially great. And it's still out there.

So I just managed to burn water....

I always thought that was just a figure of speech. Just what did you do? For my part, I have made another pie. I'm occasionally thinking that I should try a warm pie one of these days.

[Thajocoth]

Banjo Kazooie was simply a collection game. Each level had X puzzle pieces, Y music notes, ect... Just like Donkey Kong 64. Identical, really. Very similar to Mario 64, except imagine that each level had the same number of coins, and they kept track of which ones you collected.

Best N64 game in my collection: Majora's Mask. They took the Ocarina of Time engine and made some decent levels with it. Unfortunately there were only 4 levels, and too much socializing for a Zelda game...

Sciencey people help! What is a 6-letter word for a chemical bond when atoms share one pair of electrons? I think it istarts with an "s" and I know it isn't ionic or covalent.

Shared?

Bonds are either Covalent or Ionic. That's what I learned in High school's Chem & AP Chem, and College's Honors Chem I & Honors Chem II. Did they discover a new kind of bond in the last 5 years?

Doesn't fit, the third letter is a "n" or, it should be. Also, IDK, I hate Biology. Especially Bio-Chem.

Is it possible to get any more letters by answering other questions? Can I buy a vowel? S_n___.... Sandle. Sender. Sunder.

No and no I'm afraid. Sorry :/

Unless the answer to "All atoms have this physical property (often called weight)" isn't Mass.

[Thajocoth]

Strictly speaking, Mass and Weight are different things... But they are very often confused with one another... So I suppose Mass technically fits the question...

Yes, I know, but it's suppose to be 4 letters, and I think the emphasis was on the "often called" part.

Oh well, even if I don't get it, I'll still get 11.5 points of extra credit tomaorrow.
