> Nice job there Emmie,looks like you have put a lot of work into
> that mate.

> The question where you ask which movie character 'Solid Snake'
> was based on should provide some amusing answers !!!.
I think there might be a problem with that question as it can be one of several correct answers (4 in fact).
> So is it just me vs pb so far?
SO far yes lol - so make sure you remind everyone about it, and get as many people involved as possible!
As for the Snake question - i know that the character was heavily based on a movie that the creator was fond of and the name and characteristics were similair to this movie (granted there a couple of the movies but if it has caused a problem let me know and i can change / remove the question)

There are different characters for the name, the look and even the body and face (not to mention the front cover). I only realised this when OPM had a whole spread dedicated to MGS4 and the history of the series. I think if you stick with name it's probably the one you're expecting to see.
Well if there are any other questions then please let me know and i will try make them more clear.
It's quite sad really ^_^
Still only seen 3 people submit answers, no more staff members wanting to get their hands on a GAD?? Hippyman, pete, Nin - where are the usuals at?
Or any newcomers that would like to get their winning off to a good start!
I'll probably find I get the ones wrong that I think are right now!
I really enjoy making the quiz and seeing what answers i get back, especially knowing it will have a reward at the end, feels almost as good as winning one myself lol
