Far Cry 4

[Question moved from RD/M] Tevildo (talk) 08:16, 22 October 2014 (UTC)

Does anybody know the recommended system requirements for Far Cry 4?? And also will they be putting that DRM crap on this bad boy? — Preceding unsigned comment added by AlchiLayo (talk • contribs) 14:27, 19 October 2014 (UTC)

Far Cry 4 is published by Ubisoft. Ubisoft's recent PC releases, including Far Cry 3, Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag, and Watch Dogs, have included Ubisoft's Uplay DRM. This says they're selling the FC4 Season Pass on the Uplay service, so there's every reason to believe that FC4 is just like the others. -- Finlay McWalterᚠTalk 09:11, 22 October 2014 (UTC)

[massive copyright violation removed]

I haven't read most of your post, as I was stopped in my tracks by "Jacques Offenbach said this in 1932". In fact, he lived between 1819 and 1880. Even if this were a typo for 1832, he was only 13 years old then. You must mean someone else. -- Jack of Oz ^{[pleasantries]} 21:41, 22 October 2014 (UTC)

Just so Jack's post won't be taken out of context, I've removed a massive, non-sequitur copyright violation. The original can be found here, and I will be discussing this with the person who did it. Otherwise, carry on. --Jayron32 23:51, 22 October 2014 (UTC)

frosty the snowman

is there any information as to the animated special with regards to the line "happy birthday" and an explanation and why romeo muller decided to write that as frosty's first greeting ~Helicopter Llama~ 21:41, 22 October 2014 (UTC)

You aren't the first person to ponder this question. This may lead you to some possible avenues for researching the answer. --Jayron32 22:17, 22 October 2014 (UTC)

yes i saw that but did romeo muller hisself ever confirm this in interview or book ~Helicopter Llama~ 21:00, 23 October 2014 (UTC)

It immediately puts you at ease, lets you know he's sentient, and aware of the fact that he's just been ensouled, and not some threatening monster. Kids know birthdays are good things. It's a matter of considering the audience, although I am not quite sure what the relevant literature term or article would be for that concept, some sort of rhetorical device like market demographics in screenplay writing instead of advertising. μηδείς (talk) 18:51, 24 October 2014 (UTC)
