I'm thinking of buying a Wii to play GameCube games and play some first party Nintendo games. Will I be disappointed? Can I use a GameCube controller on the Wii?

All the new wiis from two years to now no longer support gc.

Older ones support everything but the gb player, online and lan gaming.

I have a car with a CD player and no auxiliary input. Besides an FM transmitter, is there any way I can play the songs from my phone over the car speakers? I find the quality on the FM transmitters to be spotty at best, so that's not a route I want to take. Not being able to play my songs through my car speakers is the only thing stopping me from getting Spotify Premium.

You sure there's no aux? Some models hide the slot in the most bizarre of places.

No tape deck i presume?

If not, no spotify but you can make a 300 song mp3 cd

Swap out the CD player for something with an AUX in? Beyond that, I think the FM transmitter is your only option.

I figured as much. I wasn't sure if there was some option I was overlooking, though.

I'm sure there's no hidden aux in anywhere, and no, no tape deck either. Besides an MP3 CD or FM transmitter, I guess my only option is to install a DIY aux in somehow. I'll look into it.

I appreciate the responses, guys. :)
 
How the fuck do you navigate this new youtube shit to find like random videos. You know how they use to have like most viewed video of the day? Or most popular? I can still do it on the phone/tablet, but on the an actual desktop? No all it show me is my subs, or suggested shit.

And keep on the car topic (I'm very ignorant with cars) both my CD and tape (i used to use this tape that connect to my ipod) are broken what can I do?

I figured just get something like these

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/searchp...##0##4&list=y&usc=All+Categories&nrp=15&iht=n

But I would have no clue how to install them or anything so do local bestbuy install them for you? And if so how much?
 
I'm looking for a web game that was really short it involved you burning a the rope to a chandelier to kill the boss, and than it rolled the credits. Does anyone know where to find it?

There was an ex-colleague of mine from the uni (we weren't even friends, actually) who asked for my help a couple times, on Facebook. She wanted me to review and correct her translation homework. I accepted and corrected her papers but when she asked for help a third time, I didn't answer because I wasn't getting any kind of reward and it takes some time to correct someone else's homework.

The day after, I got a notification saying she'd just removed me from her Friends list. Why do people do shit like that?
Click to expand...
Give to give, not give to get. That sends the wrong vibe and could very well be why she deleted you. People may suck sometimes but sometimes it's on you too. You're both at fault here imho. But I agree, that was very weird behaviour and she probably just used you for her own benefit.
 
I used the search function but came up with nothing very relevant..

Anyway,

Thanks in advance.

Anyone that knows Arabic that can translate?

اللھم اِجعل سيرتيّ حسنہَ بين خلقِک فيّ حيآتيّ وَ بعد ممآتيّ ، إلھي حينمآ أموُت هَب ليّ من ينتظِر ثُلث آلليلِ ليدعو ليّ #يارب
 
A few months ago (or maybe more), a gif was posted of some sport that gaffers were trying to identify. It looked like rugby, but it wasn't. Does anyone remember which sport it was, or where I can find the gif?

I realize I'm not offering much help, but that's literally all I can remember: that is looked like rugby but with certain differences.
 
You mean like the actual question itself or do you really want to know how to reset the power or do you mean like formatting the hard drive to cleanse it of Windows files or whatever?

cleanse the entire computer. but i dont have the factory CD.
 
Alright, so after doing a little detective work, I have found the video I was asking about.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a5dcRdWsf-4

I don't remember if the entire video was posted on GAF, or just a gif, but I remember people being confused about which sport was being played. I've searched "dog on field," but I can't find the specific thread in which it was first posted.

Once again, thanks SaskBoy. I couldn't have found this video if it wasn't for your post jogging my memory.

The fuck is the point of life
Click to expand...

Biologically, to procreate and create stronger offspring through choosing a genetically diverse partner.

Personally, there is no point to life inherently, the point of your life is what you make it. The point I have given my life is to help people, improve their lives in some way and do good if I can. Be it a friend, stranger or person on the internet. If I impact on someone's life, I want them to be better for having interacted with me.

If you are depressed or feeling down there is a thread on gaf where people can help:

I have a Micro Biology Exam at 11:00 that covers 6 Chapters extensively. It is the most difficult course my college offers, according to other professors and very experienced students.

So my question(s) is/are:

Should I just make a pot of coffee, stay alert and constantly busy, bust my ass, and try to cram all of the information in before the exam?

OR

Should I just take a breather, relax, go for a run or something, drink some water, and come back and study for a couple of hours before the exam?

I'm open to other suggestions as well.


EDIT: I really wish I could create a new thread, I'm not authorized to do that yet though. Considering there are a lot of college students on these boards, I assume some of them have some questions about their study habits, schedules, learning methods, etc. and some of them may have personal advice they might would want to share.

I thought a thread of that nature would resonate with a lot of members here.

Do you have access to some form of new Windows installation files in some fashion? If you have an USB or DVD, try booting your pc from that. There should be an option to format the drives from there. Hope that helps somewhat.

Question of my own! Are there any online databases with open source sound files? I need horror themed sounds for a small UDK project and I have neither the time nor the competence to make my own sound effects.
 
Couple of truly worthy of "stupid questions" tag:

1) Does anyone actually get less offended if a swearword like cunt or fuckin' is censored like c*nt or f*ckin? Or event c**t?

2) Why do everyone want to see a video of some random gif even if the gif is clearly the best part of the video

1) I think it's more for preserving the ignorance of children than for creating the illusion that a cuss isn't present.

2) Context.
 
How do American addresses work? If someone lives at (5-digit) some street, I'm guessing there aren't 10,000+ houses on that road.

It depends on how long the street is. If my address was "123 Fake Street," then it might go up to 300 Fake Street before the street itself ends due to an intersection or whatever.
 
Ok so I'm feeling dumb here, but I've downloaded a ton of games from ps+ over the past few days and today when I went to play some I can't find where all my games are?

Help pls?

Nah, just means they live on a really long street. Typically, addresses with that many digits will go up by 5 or 10 or more as you go down the road, ie 10000 Fake St, 10010 Fake St, 10025 Fake St etc

As mingus suggested, you may have purchased and checked out without actually downloading them. If you did indeed download them, they should appear in a folder in the 'game' section of your cross media bar. The folder will probably be the bottom item on the list. Open that bad boy up and they should be in there.
 
I have a probability and statistics test in 9 and a half hours. Test is worth 25% of my grade.I feel pretty under prepared for the exam. I'm kind of panicking and I'm finding it hard to sleep right now.

We're allowed single sheet of paper, one side, for the exam with whatever notes we feel are necessary. I have filled it out. With the relevant formulas. I have read over the notes many times now. Despite that, I'm still having trouble with a good bit of the book work. Some of the stuff is really easy and some of it is confusing.

I don't think I will outright fail the exam, but I don't feel great about it either. What would you guys and gals recommend I be doing right now? Get some sleep, pull an all nighter, eat a bag of Doritos...?

doing an all-nighter doesn't sound healthy, so go to bed. You'll perform better if you're rested.
 
Hmm...

I came home today and my NAS were shut off, so I started it up and the 4 hard drives' light were orange. But now it's starting up but why is it that it's stuck at starting up? All hard drives can't have died on me at the same time? =/
