Very interesting reasoning. The actual answer, however is: FAMILY.

It STARTS with the meeting of TWO FAilures.
They NEXT bring about TWO who they thought others would adMIre.
But ENDING wrong this had to pay dearLY.

Techincally, you have the answer. But, to go one step further, you have to explain your reasoning. See if you could find the real clues.

Amusing

However, as you said, it was false.

As for hints, the answer refers to something that was around since well before modern civilization.

It's something that's around today and will probably remain for a very long time.

There is a hidden word in the words.

Yes, there's a typo. It should be OF two failures. However, it could have been asked at any time.

It starts with the meeting of two failures.
They next bring about two who they thought others would admire.
But ending wrong THIS had to pay dearly.

What is it?

I was thinking of writing a list of questions that a number of people ask over the years as far as games go but they never get answered. Most of these questions are ones that are linked directly to the game world logic but I'll also accept a few that deal with real world logic. The examples I have a...

It WORKED! My Top 10 list made it to the site's featured lists! People did think it needed pictures and a bit more writing but it was featured today, February 28th! Thanks for the feedback!

The Top 10 Kangaroos in Games Kangaroos: one of nature's most famous animals and yet very little is actually known about them. The kangaroo is an animal that happens to show up very little in the media of games and yet, when they do, they can be forces to be reckoned with. Of course, their best know...

Thank you. I managed to find 10 kangaroos although there are two that I'm not certain of. The first being the Kangaroos you find in Animal Crossing which I added since they are kangaroos that appear exclusively in video games and not anywhere else. The second one is Ikanger from Teleroboxer since it...

I decided that I want to do a Top 10 Kangaroos in Video Games list. However, I've run into a road block: I don't know of 10 kangaroos in games. Here's what I have: 1. Unnamed Mother Kangaroo (Kangaroo) 2. Roger (Tekken 2) 3. Roger Jr. and Mama (Tekken 5 and 6) 4. Ricky (Legend of Zelda Oracle Series...

Top 10 Weird Rules of Video Games 10. Rideable animals are expendable. You can always find more. The most famous of these, of course, is Yoshi from the Super Mario Brothers series. How many times have people jumped off his back sending him to fall to his death just to avoid falling themselves? And i...

I was looking to see if you think I should change around the order of these things. Other "rules" I have in mind: 11. You never have to hold your breath under water. Even if you can't breathe there. 12. Objects, regardless of size or weight, never inhibit your movements. 13. Just touching ...

Yes, this is me and not my brother. Anyway, I wanted to have this posted on another site, but they want more than just the list, they want explanations for each one. However, I wanted to run this by a few test audiences to see what they think before I put more effort into this. Let me know what you ...

Sigh. It seems it happened again. :o I apologize for the board getting spammed like this. You're probably wondering why I "ran off" for months then came back with this kind of post. It wasn't me. I happened to go away for a couple weeks on vacation and had my younger brother house-sit for ...

Like Lamb said, you're a sociopath. I'm not. I'm not... See, I'm not a monster. I'm just ahead of the curve. Love is an emotional storm: an animal reflex to be controlled by the rational mind. As humans, we pride ourselves on being better than other forms of life on earth. However, that's a bad jok...

Ah yeah. The way I see it, THEY don't respect ME. In most cases I don't treat any human any different from any other human. The thing is: when someone comes to me looking for some form of companionship I feel I'm being treated differently than anyone else. And it is like they say, "Treat others...

There's plenty of people that go through life without sex/physical needs. Sex comes into it AGAIN?! :rolleyes :x See THAT'S one of the reasons I made this vow in the first place. That's even why I chose the Collin Farwalker statement: "You are far away from LIFE and LOVE and HOPE." Thing ...

I just don't know why you're bragging about it... I'm bragging about it because anyone can give in to the bio-chemical reaction designed by nature to make sure that our genes get passed on. ANYONE can follow the trends of the rest of the crowd just to fit in! ANYONE can satisfy so-called "need...

I don't think the World Guiness of records will go to your house to see you losing at yet another game.

That wouldn't be necessary. They would want to see that I still have all the deaths still collected on my computer, which I do. I think it would be great to be a World Record holder though.

I am MrWhitman of YouTube. I am the one who does most of the Ways To Die/Lose vidoes on YouTube. Anyway, I was thinking: do you think I could hold the World Record for the most ways to lose in games that has been recorded and published for public viewing? If so, do you think I should try to apply fo...

I also think you may think much to highly of yourself if you feel that women who talk to you are romantically interested in you. They're not just sex-machines that talk to men for the sole purpose of mounting, claiming and getting romantically involved with them. I don't see how gettting "roma...

I don't know if you remember my mentioning that I don't like getting attention from those who think of getting romantically inclined with me. However, I finally found two ways to deal with it. The first one: A woman came and sat next to me in the library with a flowery toned, "Hi, big guy."...

I came up with this game plot: You start out in an animal body. However, you know that you are not an animal and are: in fact, human. You notice that you are wearing a badge but you are a quadruped and the badge is in a spot you cannot reach it with your mouth. So, you start the game trying to find ...

I am looking for permission to make a minimalist run of this game, King's Quest III: To Heir is Human Redux and post it up on YouTube. I will respect the decision made by the makers of the game. Thank you.
