Founding Fathers is tough. I have the first 3. Are the last three the same type of thing as the second and third things?

The last three are games for the first thing.

That's what I was afraid of.
Edit: Got 'em by brute force! Pretty hard for someone who has no experience with the topic.

Well I just finished the Can I Get Some Quarters quest thanks to this. Most nonsensical quest yet

Still have only the first item for Founding Fathers, too

Can't figure out "By Her Powers Combined" either. This is annoying.

Also, feel free to follow me too, duders.

Truth.

I figured it out. Since it's only by hint I'll give you two.

She's isn't white.
She hasn't been in a lot of Bioware games (only two), but a bunch of Black Isle stuff.
"A different world" is a hint as well.

I still need the last thing for the Quarters one.
Is it more or less recent than item No. 5?
Edit: I had already searched for No. 6, but I was only thinking of the original.
 
Got "By Her Powers Combined" by searching A Different World on IMDB, opening every link to a female actress in a new tab, and going down the list one at a time until I saw a Bioware credit :lol

A Dragon Age developer?
Looked up all the ones I recognized couldnt find it.
 
I'm still having trouble with Up and Atom on the last one. Even the hints that were given a while back didn't help me.

Just think of the other most famous actor who has provided his voice for the game.

You might be taken aback when you figure out the answer, so much so that it winds up on your list of things you should've figured out on your own.

It is in an obvious place on the wikipedia page of the game in item 1

Ice Ice Baby #2, Flash in the Pan #2 and Secret Quest in Music 101 help would be appreciated.

Hint for the secret quest in Music 101:

Was recently featured in one of the GDC podcasts I believe, and is best known for his work on a Fox network show.

I'm also missing the first two, but I think the Music Appreciation 101 secret quest is the one that's all about a recurring guest on conference edition Bombcasts. He was very hospitable for one conference, if that helps

Flash in the Pan #2. 3 hints:

the console is a huge collector's item. Considered ahead of its time and still popular today.

rarest games on this system can easily sell for over $1000 on Ebay.

debuted at a crazy price, $650 USD

Ah, I actually thought about that but I didn't think it failed or whatever so I didn't bother going to the page.

And still got nothing for the secret music one, I don't listen to the Bombcast.
 
I love Giant Bomb's videos and podcasts, but I haven't signed up for the site. Seems totally cool...I just prefer the media they put out.

Thank you, I finally got it. Could have sworn I clicked on that page but perhaps like NameGenerated I didn't consider it a failure and didn't click on it? There are much better examples of failure than that console though

If you don't listen to the Bombcast you probably won't get it unless someone links you straight to the pages
 
I was looking for this quest shite yesterday, or the other day that ain't yesterday, and I couldn't find it. Do I need some sort of GiantBumb account to appreciate the goodnesses?
 
You guys that are posting your profiles in this thread to get followers should follow back the people that follow you so that we can all get that quest.

He not only composes soundtracks for television and games, he also did the controversial theme song to a podcast that often gets posted on GAF.
 
After doing some quests, i think the whole thing is genius. Ive navigated more the past few days through their elaborate maze of data than i have in the last 3 years. I guess it's really that easy to rip off achievements.

Are you sure you're going to the right one? I noticed last night that there are two separate pages for "Martin O'Donnell" and "Marty O'Donnell", and only one works for the related quest.
Click to expand...
Oh man, THANK YOU! So that's why I couldn't complete that quest.
I was going crazy looking for obscure past games he might have worked on (and Flintstones-related entries...).
 
"By Her Powers Combined" was actually pretty easy once I just started looking through the credits pages on Black Isle games. :lol

I just need to find the Secret Quest from the Music Appreciation 101 set and I'm done with the whole set.

So far I know:
He was on one of the GDC podcasts, and he has done work for a TV show on FOX

Another hint would be appreciated!
Click to expand...

Here's another hint then:

The name of the quest is "Everyone loves Chris!"
