Mario Party

What do you think is the hardest game in the Mario Party series (by hardest, I mean hardest to complete 100%)? 58.168.209.250 (talk) 09:08, 7 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This page is for factual questions. If you want to talk about it, you might want to move this question to a discussion page.--Dlo2012 (talk) 14:28, 7 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

i only saw the first one, but i have to say Luigi's Engine Room was the hardest board. as for the mini-games, i guess the one where you had to rotate the stick round and round as fast as possible to kill the Fly Guy. that one sucked. my fav was the minecarts.

How good/bad is this show? БοņёŠɓɤĭĠ₳₯є 15:09, 7 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

According to this its "strangely unsatisfying" Think outside the box 17:38, 7 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Individuals' responses to TV shows and movies vary enormously. One man's meat is another man's poison. This is completely subjective and there's no good anwer to your question. But request factual information about how many people watched it, and of them, how many said they enjoyed it, etc - that we can have a go at. -- JackofOz (talk) 09:06, 8 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Where did this thing start out?

I mean, it seems to be everywhere, was there a movie or a game or website that invented it, then everyone made pictures of it or something? Does it have a name?

Song Title With "Alleuia, Alleuia" Refrain

There was a major hit a while ago with "Alleuia,Alleuia" in the lyrics. It is very compelling.

Hallelujah (song) --Elliskev 20:47, 7 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Jason Castro sang it on American Idol this week. There are probably youtube videos of it. Corvus cornix_talk 20:17, 8 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The West Wing - "I want a seat at the table"

Hi all. In the "War Crimes" episode of west wing (script), Hoynes (the vice president) uses the phrase "I want a seat at the table", does anyone know what that's in reference to? It not really connected to the rest of the conversation during that scene. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Akamad (talk • contribs) 23:20, 7 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

There's a rather large chance I'm incorrect, but when I watched it I took it to mean a metaphor for a guarantee for being on the ticket come the next election -- that is, remaining as VP. But as I say, I could be wrong, I'm not entirely sure. AllynJ (talk | contribs) 23:25, 7 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I just noticed that on "On the Day Before" (script) Josh uses the same line describing a Senator. I'm thinking it could be the cabinet (which would also go with the VP wanting to be on the ticket, since that means he can attend cabinet meetings). - Akamad (talk) 05:45, 8 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The expression "a seat at the table" is used in various contexts, not necessarily anything to do with U.S. politics. It broadly means to to be kept in the loop, to be involved in discussions, to be kept in the picture, etc. -- JackofOz (talk) 09:02, 8 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The expression was used more narrowly, I think, to mean, "I want to be part of the decision-making process", not just "in the know". Trekphiler (talk) 17:26, 20 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
