90s DOS/PC game? edit
I'm looking for a 90s video game. Not neccessarily pc game but anyway.
It was a platform 2d game. it had a dark background with lots of colored pipes, leading all around but they were just a part of the background and moved around when the player moves. And it was like a kind of jumping game or action, I don't know. It was from the 90s, I think, atleast seemed like that. it wasn't 70s but could be late 80s. There were also bigger pipes nearer to the player but these also moved with the screen. Thanks!

- Sounds like Super Mario Brothers. --Jayron32 06:10, 8 February 2014 (UTC)
- Those pipes didn't move with the screen. If they did, we couldn't warp. InedibleHulk (talk) 19:58, 8 February 2014 (UTC)
- If you're not the same person who asked about two years ago, here are some potential clues. Oddly enough, same first answer, too. InedibleHulk (talk) 20:03, 8 February 2014 (UTC)
I'm the same person. but I never got an answer to this. It was none of those mentioned there. and the games in the last line, it looked earlier then all of those. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 31.209.159.215 (talk) 12:18, 9 February 2014 (UTC)
- A few guesses off of my (not so reliable) memory: A few levels from The_Lawnmower_Man_(video_game) might fit, or perhaps Blackthorne? There's one other NES platformer that's hanging just on the edge of my memory but I can't recall it... OrganicsLRO 11:47, 10 February 2014 (UTC)

- You've already asked this on the humanities desk. Please wait for responses there, rather than cross-posting here. -- Finlay McWalterჷTalk 15:34, 8 February 2014 (UTC)
Sochi Olympic Opening Ceremony: Who is the creative director? What is the symbolism of the creative choices? edit
I've searched the internet and Wikipedia looking for detailed information about who was selected to be the creative director of the Sochi Opening Ceremony. I found it a spectacular performance and visual piece and would like to research the various creative talents that went into the show. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.50.151.239 (talk) 16:23, 8 February 2014 (UTC) This is the best I've found: http://www.nytimes.com/2014/02/08/sports/olympics/russia-opens-sochi-games-with-pageantry-and-pride.html?_r=0 Konstantin Ernst, director of Channel One, Russia’s largest state-controlled television channel — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.50.151.239 (talk) 16:34, 8 February 2014 (UTC)
