[@shiitagi]

What the fuck are you talking about, love? Friendship? What are you - What is even - It's Chronomancy! Also, um actually, Chronomancy is not the greatest power, it's the most powerful magic. So yes, Omnipotence will beat magic by a mile and more.

[@terry_the_terrible]

I will take the ability to durably influence and persuade everyone around me, aka love, anytime over Chronomancy. Pound for pound, you can achieve a lot more with fewer side effects with "Love" than with Chronomancy just because I can influence everyone on earth and combine their expertise and resources whereas Chronomancy is limited by the fact that you are literally casting from lifespan everytime you do-over or go back in time. That's assuming that you're talking about Chronomancy. If you're going to tag-on ludicrous effects such as teleportation, the ability to revert your body back from death while keeping the knowledge that you should have logically lost, the ability to stop time and yet still be able to interact with objects without having to fight against momentum, or the ability to still see and hear when you times stop when neither light nor sound can bounce to your eyes and hear...then there's no contest because either you're using more than 1 power or Chronomancy is so poorly defined that you can basically make it do anything

Of course you don't have to worry about photons reaching your eyes or how remembering things from the future works... what's next, complaining about conservation of energy being disturbed by fireballs, or how you can disturb anyone's brain so that an unusual, unconditional sort of "love" only applies to the magic user and doesn't disturb the rest of the victim's personality or relationships?

[@rebeccabrittain979]

Um, Actually, Zac is right. In Who Censored Roger Rabbit, Roger creates a doppelganger of himself (which lasts only a few days). Roger's doppelganger works with Valiant to solve his own murder, crumbling into dust shortly after the mystery is solved.

[@Krwzprtt]

Um, actually, in the Andersen story, the sea witch doesn't take the little mermaid's voice. Instead, she CUTS OFF HER TONGUE. Granted, that's roughly the same effect, but the specifics matter in this game.

[@TuberTugger]

I think you've identified the method for taking her voice. Not that her voice wasn't taken. Which wasn't specified in the question.

[@shiitagi]

Um actually, nope, you can still make gurgling sounds without your tongue. It just means that she can't speak or sing. Also, minus one point to @Krwzprtt for meta-gaming.

[@sternis1]

H.C Andersen and the Grimm brothers were a little more hardcore that Disney could stomach. Would be cool to see Disney movies that were closer to the source material, mainly for the gore.

[@thegalmalpal9908]

Also she appears in the story after the first deal, because the sisters go to her to try and get Ariel out of it. They trade their hair for a knife and if Ariel kills the prince with the knife, she'll live.

[@TuberTugger]

​@@zvign7554 Umm actually, medical science had no advanced to this specific degree during the writing of that story. So, the implied meaning of "voice" IS speech in this context. The distinction you're referring to hadn't been made yet.

[@thegalmalpal9908]

Um actually, the sea witch DOES appear in the story after the deal. Ariel's sister's go to her to try and keep Ariel from dying (because in the original the consequence for Ariel not seducing the prince is death), and the sisters trade their hair for a knife. If Ariel kills the prince with the knife she can turn back into a mermaid. Spoiler alert: the prince ends up falling in love with some other random princess and Ariel refuses to kill him, so she turns into seafoam.

[@ashildrtheswift3028]

I was thinking this as well, but I don't think the sea witch actually appears. I believe her sisters just tell her they went

[@Blake_Stone]

Um Actually, Ariel's sisters mention visiting the sea witch to get the knife but she does not actually *appear* in that part of the story.

That being a temporary copy of him that he made to run an errand, before the original accidentally got killed by a genie. Because the book is wild. So the question claiming that he only had "one" clue, is incorrect.

Um actually, in Twilight the vampires don't necessarily have to be dismembered. Fire alone would suffice, they only dismember them to make the process easier. In the movie they show a vampirised toddler and they don't rip them apart, they just throw a toddler into a bonfire to kill them :) Also Werewolves aren't the only thing that can dismember a vampire. Other vampires do it and since Jacob's tribe is just shape shifters and not real werewolves, it is never 100% confirmed that werewolves can kill vampires. Although it is strongly implied when the Volturi (oldest and most powerful vampire clan) call real werewolves their mortal enemies.

Um, actually, Quirrell was not a dark wizard in the sense that he chose to follow Voldemort. While travelling in the forests of Albania Voldemort essentially forced him to become a host for what was left of his soul. Though at the end of the first film, Quirrell is depicted as power hungry from the start, Voldemort took advantage of the weak-minded Quirrell, then afterwards Quirrell was corrupted by Voldemort living inside of him, turning him into the loyal servant he is at the end of Harry's first year. By that standard, anyone who did bad things under the influence of a Horcrux would be a dark wizard, including Ginny, Ron, and Harry, which we know is not true.

[@VVheeli]

Um Actually, because it's still technically canon, in "The Cursed Child" it turns out Cedric Diggory turned out to be a Dark Wizard and a Death Eater after getting thoroughly embarrassed by Harry in the Triwizard Tournament. This is when the kids travel to the alternate timeline and Cedric lives but is injured, so he falls back on blood supremacy and turns Dark.

[@cool9378]

Um actually, there are dark wizards whose house we don't know and so could theoretically come from any house, like Barty Crouch Jr. Especially since his parents weren't dark wizards. Corban Yaxley's house is also unknown. Also, we don't know whether Igor Karkaroff ever attended Hogwarts. Since he was at one point the headmaster of Durmstrang he just as likely attended Durmstrang. And if Fenrir Greyback was a wizard, it's unknown whether he attended school, and if he attended Hogwarts, his house is unknown.

[@gormster]

Wasn’t Peter Pettigrew a Gryffindor?

[@sarahmcgoodwin5911]

(I know it’s been 8 months but) um actually, the question wasn’t worded in a way that implies ALL dark wizards in the world (e.g. Karkaroff) are from either Slytherin or Gryffindor, just all the ones who we know attended Hogwarts and whose houses are known - there’s a little wiggle room, as you pointed out, since the first sentence of the question does say all dark wizards who attended Hogwarts were either in Slytherin or Gryffindor, but the second sentence says there are no KNOWN dark wizards from the other houses. But it’s pretty safe to assume Karkaroff went to Durmstrang since he was their headmaster, & the question doesn’t exclude that possibility

2:27 Um actually, on page 13 of the DMG under Forces and Philosophies, it states that classes like clerics and paladins can be committed to ideals or serve philosophies, and thus deities aligned with those ideals and philosophies will grant them powers.

The reason you can use plain bleach to sterilize water is that, when exposed to the air and sunlight, the chlorine in the bleach water solution becomes quite volatile and evaporates.

1:24 um actually there is even more wrong. The sea witch, although she doesn’t physically appear, is not limited to her deal with the little mermaid. In the original Little Mermaid by Hans Christian Andersen, the little mermaid’s sisters come to her with their beautiful hair cut off. They reveal they have made a deal with the sea witch: their hair in exchange for a loophole in the little mermaid’s deal. They give her a knife (given to them by the sea witch) and instruct her that if the little mermaid kills the prince with it before sunrise, she will not be turned to sea foam.

[@SportyMabamba]

Just appending onto this: Sinclair’s actor, Michael O’Hare, was struggling with severe mental health difficulties during the filming of Season 1 (we’re talking paranoid delusions and hallucinations). They offered to suspend filming Season 2 for him to seek treatment, but O’Hare did not want to jeopardise the series nor the jobs of the many people involved in the show. It was agreed between O’Hare and Straczynski that Sinclair would depart Babylon 5 between S1 and S2. The cast and crew were not informed of the full details but were told the parting was “mutual and amicable”. It was also agreed that O’Hare’s condition would be kept private until he passed away, at which point Straczynski would reveal the full circumstances. O’Hare would film some additional scenes as minor cameos in S2. A two-part episode in S3 closed Sinclair’s story arc.

Um, actually, the method for marking "Order Up" questions is flawed as it can lead to issues like Alex had here (where one item is out of place and causes most of the rest to be marked incorrect, even though he correctly assigned them relative to each other). Instead, you should mark "Order Up" questions by working out which player would need to exclude the fewest number of items in order to get a valid ordered string - in this case, Alex would have only needed to exclude one, and therefore would have won the point. Alternatively, you could include the size ranges (as seen in the "answers") and just have players match the size range to the item, which would allow you to retain the current methodology for marking.

[@justincoleman3805]

Let me guess. You got them all wrong and you’re mad.

[@KW-hs7ss]

You’re sorta right. In order theory, an order is a transitive, reflexive and antisymmetric relation on a set (that is, amongst the members of that set). Alex has 4 of the 18 relationships wrong. Zak has 1 of the 18 relationships wrong, since he has everything right except that he has switched space amoeba and Cromulon. Both Alex and Zak can achieve a fully correct order by eliminating one alien from the order. Haley did worst, getting 5 of the 18 relationships wrong. Giving her second place for this game (though it has no score for second place) is wrong.

[@sternis1]

I have two favourites when it comes to killing vampires that are about as stupid as Twilight in general. One is from Terry Pratchett, where you have to put lemon or orange slices in mouth and/or ears of a vampire, then cut their head off. The method varies slightly depending on where the vampire is from (as in, which location they're from). The other is from the anime Chibi Vampire (a.k.a Karin). When Karin discusses with her dad about how to kill vampires (because they have a rather useless vampire hunter pretty boy after them) she mentions that vampires should be afraid of stakes through their hearts. Her dad replies with "That's barbaric! That would kill anyone!". Later in the series, the vampire hunter actaully gets to Karins family and puts stakes through their hearts. However, Karins family does NOT die because "Vampires are built more sturdily than humans", as her father puts it. Basically, a wooden stake through the heart kills anyone EXCEPT for vampires.

UM ACTUALLY Ursula has ZERO tentacles. As an octopus, she has arms, not tentacles. Tentacles have suction cups only on the tip of the appendage, while arms have suction cups all the way down to the body. She has six octopus arms, and two human arms, therefore she has eight arms, one of the defining characteristics of an octopus. Squids, on the other hand, do have tentacles.

[@RabblesTheBinx]

Um, actually, while the modern convention is to refer to shorter appendages as "arms" and the longer ones with thin stalks as "tentacles", the word "tentacle" is, itself, an umbrella term and those kinds of arms are a type of tentacle.

They all have. They've been uploading the full versions of the series's episodes for awhile, they're not making any new ones. They previously uploaded just half-versions and left the full versions for Dropout members.

[@caspianh.5537]

um, actually, Stephen Franklin has NO flaws and is perfect

Someone should write A Million Years of Dawn. No idea what it would be about, but perpetual dawn sounds like an interesting premise

[@bramvanduijn8086]

About a planet that becomes tidally locked for a million years, so there's a ring on the planet where the sun is always on the horizon. The story starts with a short description of how it happened, and how the then-owners of the planet sent a space probe with an AI to fix it, but the probe's propulsion breaks so the AI has spent a million minus thirteen years going insane while the probe accumulated all sorts of damage to its systems. At the end of the first book the AI has slowly learned how to be somewhat sane again because of a strange young voice on the radio. During the second book it becomes clearer and clearer to the reader (but not the AI) that the young voice is from a child alive on that tidally locked planet, in the thin livable strip of continuous dawn. At the end of the book the AI thanks the voice for healing its mind and the probe procedes to complete it's mission only 10 years after arriving in the system. This starts an irrevocable process which three years later will result in the complete destruction of the biosphere, including the helpful kid. The book ends with the AI realizing what will happen to her only friend. The third book is the AI frantically trying and failing to stop it, in the end only managing to upload an imperfect copy of the kid's mind into the probe which requires the destruction of the AI's personality to make space. The third book ends with the kid/AI continuing on to it's next mission, a million years of travel away.

re: The first letter in the corrections: Um, Actually, he should've asked for it to be 100 percent larger, and also to have 100 percent as much usable living area. Just doubling the volume of space wouldn't do a whole lot without the extra/larger livable planets to go with it.

27:13 subtitles missing: Quirinus Quirrell, who is in the very first book. Quirrell was a Ravenclaw

[@lvlHive]

3:02 Um, Actually the greatest power is CHRONOMANCY.

[@riddick1128]

Um, actually, in twilight you dont have to rip the vampires apart first you only have to burn them and in fact one of the volturi members has the power to make vampires entirely unable to feel or see anything and they can use that to kill you while youre whole

[@GamerTagCaptCluel3ss]

I’ve definitely already watched this

[@R-Tex.]

Um actually love is not the greatest power, it's either friendship or family.

[@tracyh5751]

This episode is a rerun OF a rerun.

[@TuberTugger]

I don't think that's how reruns work. Either it is a rerun or an original showing. You'd have to somehow prove that each is iterated off the previous for that to make sense.

[@mykel723]

@Derek Gooding Um actually, he doesn't have to prove that for it to make sense, i.e. you explained how it could make sense without proving the claim. You are correct that for it to be a rerun of a rerun it would need to have those qualities, but those qualities aren't necessary for the statement to be logical.

[@TuberTugger]

@@mykel723 The statement is incorrect. Logical has nothing to do with it.

[@mykel723]

@Derek Gooding Logical has to do with everything, especially when you're being pedantic about something.

[@TuberTugger]

@@mykel723 No, the game is to correct people. Not to logic people. You're incorrect here too. Shh... go to sleep sweet prince.

[@kolosmenus]

19:18 I mean, irl Soviets literally lost an entire generation of men during the war. If that didn't happen then the Cold War could surely escalate into an open conflict, and that's what Red Alert is about.

[@franciscopozole]

True, though you also have to factor in the countries of eastern europe also had their populations and infrastructure destroyed to a greater extent than Russia, so they would be much harder to influence than the post WW2 eastern bloc.

[@rebeccahumphreys6843]

These Friday uploads get me through the workday 😍

[@danielhoughton7917]

So the captained by recently widowed captain is technically not correct. The Original Commander of Babylon 5 was Jeffery Sinclair who divorced. It wasn't until Season 2 when Sinclair's actor had to leave the show did the introduce John Sheridan who was widowed.

[@SportyMabamba]

Just appending onto this comment: Sinclair’s actor, Michael O’Hare, was struggling with severe mental health difficulties during the filming of Season 1 (we’re talking paranoid delusions and hallucinations). They offered to suspend filming Season 2 for him to seek treatment, but O’Hare did not want to jeopardise the series nor the jobs of the many people involved in the show. It was agreed between O’Hare and Straczynski that Sinclair would depart Babylon 5 between S1 and S2. The cast and crew were not informed of the full details but were told the parting was “mutual and amicable”. It was also agreed that O’Hare’s condition would be kept private until he passed away, at which point Straczynski would reveal the full circumstances. O’Hare would film some additional scenes as minor cameos in S2. A two-part episode in S3 closed Sinclair’s story arc.

[@ethanmattix]

Um, actually, there aren't any werewolves present in the Twilight series. In Breaking Dawn it's revealed that Jacob and the other wolves are technically just shapeshifters and that the real werewolves have been hunted to near extinction by the Volturi. So, we actually have no idea if a werewolf could kill a vampire like that. Shapeshifter can, werewolves maybe

[@JKPancake]

Um Actually Zac is right sort of, in the book Roger made a sort of clone of himself that only has a few hours to live before disappearing and helps eddie solve the case

[@ZipplyZane]

For certain values of "help," anyway.

[@MrRabbit772]

21:50 the space amoeba is one cell of a larger organism so.. unless im misremembering the episode

[@christinehelgeton4686]

Um actually, in the original The Little Mermaid, the sea witch does appear again, or at least she's a plot piece later on. The little mermaid's sisters go back to the sea witch to make a deal for her to get a chance to return to the sea as a mermaid. Also, she doesn't really "trade for her voice", the sea witch cuts out her tongue, which sort of works with the phrasing, but we're here to be pedantic-

[@jean-paulaudette9246]

YAY! I got to enjoy 28 minutes before shutting it off because Title Of Words! Almost the whole episode!

[@oops3798]

Well now I need a full version of The Robots of Gods

[@man4437]

17:27 I almost said out loud "what, as opposed to beating it off?"

[@Azrdraco]

The best part of Red Alert was the sound when you run over soldiers with large vehicles. That should be in a sound game.

[@bmorgan5707]

Um actually, I don’t believe Professor Quirrell can be considered a dark wizard, as he was not a convert to Voldemort. In hunting for Voldemort, Quirrell was no match for Voldemort’s power (even in its weakened state) and Voldemort took control of Quirrell. While Quirrell did attempt to resist he was no match for the Dark Lord.

[@ZipplyZane]

From what I can tell, there still are points where Quirrell operates on his own--albeit under threat from Voldemort. So, while he didn't join willingly, he does seem to actually be working for Voldemort.

[@jessalyngrant-bier8219]

I know I know it’s been said already and will be in the corrections for the next episode but Um Actually neither of the two commanders of the Babylon 5 space station were recently widowed: commander Sinclair was never married and commander Sheridan may believe his wife is dead, but for most of the show she is actually alive and working for the Shadows as either a bioship pilot or an emissary.

I have Iodine solution in my survival kit since you can use it both to sterilize wounds and for emergency cleaning of water. Bleach is kinda a one trick pony and it goes bad far faster as well. As I see it, when the zombie invasion comes I want to limit the weight of my survival kit so anything that is multi purpose is great and who knows, Iodine put in quickly might just stop that zombie bite from turning me.

[@silentkobold3924]

Um, actually, Love was in Unearthed Arcana subclasses part 2 to be played tested. However many people disliked it for it is mind control like powers and poor taste in how love works.
