A Ha Ha Ha Song of the 1970s
I don't remember any lyrics. I only remember that the song was popular in the late 1970s and it had four "sentences" of laughter:


 * Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Hahahahaha
 * Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Hohohoho
 * Hee Hee Hee Hee Hee ....
 * Hee Hee Hee Hee Hee ....

Anyone still remember this stupid song? -- Toytoy (talk) 07:01, 3 February 2013 (UTC)

 * BINGO! Thank you! Hahahahahahaha!!!!! -- Toytoy (talk) 09:37, 3 February 2013 (UTC)
 * And I think you'll find it's a lot older than that. Britmax (talk) 22:48, 4 February 2013 (UTC)

The most complex computer/video game of all time
Hi! I would like to find (and try to play) the most complex computer/video game of all time. One need to be really really intelligent to play it and win. One lose because he is too stupid for the game, NOT because he is too slow. Something like really deep economic strategy game or maybe something from entirety different game genre. --Blacknight87 (talk) 12:20, 3 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Link to discussion the last time this came up. From that discussion, one possible answer seems to be NetHack. --Viennese Waltz 12:46, 3 February 2013 (UTC)


 * Different question. Hardest <> most complex (or "smartest"). Super Mario Brothers game, for example, is really hard to win, but you don't need a big brain to play it (or brain at all). --Blacknight87 (talk) 13:05, 3 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Whatever, Blacknight87. It would be hard to argue that NetHack is both difficult and complex. --Viennese Waltz 17:56, 3 February 2013 (UTC)

 * Dwarf Fortress is supposed to be extremely difficult to learn, even more difficult to master, and impossible to win.  --some jerk on the Internet    (talk)  14:18, 4 February 2013 (UTC)


 * If you're interested in games with complex economies, Eve Online is worth checking out. They also encourage a certain amount of tricking/scamming other players, so being intelligent enough to be able to spot that sort of thing (or do it to others) is useful. If playing against the computer is more your thing, try some Paradox Interactive games like Europa Universalis III or Hearts of Iron III as they get quite involved and are well-made.

 * I'll second Paradox Interactive as being highly complex games. The level of involvement is pretty intense.  You generally have to dedicate a week or more to complete one session.  Longer if you plan to sleep or use the restroom or interact with other humans.  -- Jayron  32  04:51, 5 February 2013 (UTC)

Legal Superbowl streaming
Will ESPN.com be streaming the Superbowl tonight? If not, who will legally be doing this? (I'm in the US)

If you're wondering, I don't much care for sports but know the basics of the major US games. I like watching the big games but don't much care for the day to day detail of any sports. So, I never know where to go when I want to watch some big match. Dismas |(talk) 21:15, 3 February 2013 (UTC)
 * If you go to nfl.com, there is a link to watch the game.  I don't know what the requirements are, I didn't try it.  RudolfRed (talk) 23:46, 3 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Thanks. Got it on CBS.com on a recommendation from a coworker.  Dismas |(talk) 01:26, 4 February 2013 (UTC)

Japanese movie about a man moving back to rural Osaka.
The movie is about the idiosyncrasies of the man's parents and the idiosyncrasies, of the rural life (in the Osaka area?). I think there is a wikipedia article. Anyone know?Curb Chain (talk) 22:53, 3 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Well, we have a list of Japanese films in Category:Japanese films, but it is quite long. Do you have any more details; actors, director, year, genre, or even a more detail plot information etc?  Astronaut (talk) 16:30, 6 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Tokyo Monogatari?
 * No, this movie is about one man going back home I believe. I also believe it is very likely in color.Curb Chain (talk) 12:37, 7 February 2013 (UTC)
