Forum Game GORSEBUSTERS

[Gorse]

Good evening, folks, and welcome to another exciting episode of
GORSEBUSTERS™!
​

What's Gorsebusters? It's the greatest new trivia gameshow right here on RGT! Anyone can play, but you'll need a strong knowledge of obscure gaming history and ephemera to win. Here's how it works:

• Above, you'll see a grid of 25 letters – each representing a video game trivia question. The next post following mine gets to choose a letter.​
• Whoever correctly answers the question first wins that letter's corresponding square, which I'll fill in with a colour unique to that poster. (If you'd like a particular colour, please do request it in your post – if not, I'll assign you one.) I'll make a record of each user's colour as I update the thread.​
• Your collective time limit on each question is 24 hours. I'm not giving any hints, either!​
• Once the grid is completed, whoever has the most squares filled in with their colour WINS!!!!!!!!!​
• You ARE allowed to use Google, YouTube, Wikipedia, or whatever you want to look up information. Not that it'll help!​

But wait!, I hear you ask! There's no "G" on that grid! Certainly not, because that's where I come in:

• If nobody guesses the answer correctly within the time limit, that letter's square becomes a Gorse space, jet-black like my soul.
• I'll ask another, even harder question, which you'll all have another 24 hours to answer.
• If nobody can correctly answer the Gorse space question, I win it. I can win the game, too!

So, there you go! Ready to play Gorsebusters? The first post following this one gets to choose a letter, so stake your claim on the board NOW! If anyone has any other questions about the format, please ask away and I'll answer 'em.

It's fun – it's educational – it's GORSEBUSTERS!​

Hello! Wow I'm only now seeing this thread, really cool ideia!
I want the letter L, and my color can be blue (any shade of blue)

 

[Gorse]

I want the letter L, and my color can be blue (any shade of blue)

You've got it, Hikari-dono!

The question for "L" is as follows:
2012's Lollipop Chainsaw taught gamers about the importance of zombies, stick candy, and blonde cheerleaders. What was the name of the real-world supermodel who portrayed the game's lead character in promotional material?

There you go, folks – hop to it! Whoever gets the right answer first gets a coloured square on the board. You have 24 hours, starting now!

 

[micheI]

I'd like the letter X, color can be anything that's not taken.

 

[Gorse]

I'd like the letter X, color can be anything that's not taken.

Ah-ah-ah, michel – you're not allowed to choose a new letter until the current one has been answered (or lost)! We're on L, right now – if you guess the answer correctly, you can choose another letter.

 

[micheI]

you're not allowed to choose a new letter until the current one has been answered (or lost)!

Ah is that so? What a pity, i didnt know. Sorry.

if you guess the answer correctly, you can choose another letter.

Oh so that's what collective time means, everyone can give it a try even if they weren't the ones who initially picked the letter. Alright, let me give this a shot.

 

[Yousef]

You've got it, Hikari-dono!

Jessica Nigri? (please please please don’t let me down, stupid brain)

 

[Gorse]

Ah is that so? What a pity, i didnt know. Sorry.

Don't worry, mate – you're still in the game! If you get the answer right, you'll have a space on the board.

Oh, and that reminds me of an additional rule:

You don't get to choose to reserve a colour until you're actually on the board. If someone gets the answer right before Hikari does, I'll let them use blue if they want to, and so on for all other colours. Fair's fair!

 

[Yousef]

Bump in case gorse needs it.

This is a though one! I'm looking everywhere but no dice!

 

[Gorse]

Jessica Nigri? (please please please don’t let me down, stupid brain)

THAT'S RIGHT!!!!
​

Jessica Nigri portrayed Lollipop Chainsaw's player character, Juliet Starling, in all video advertisements for the game's original release. She also appeared at conventions in full cosplay, and often represented the game in interviews – she was heavily involved in the game's promotions, and likely contributed to more than a few sales. I hope they threw her a few bucks for the remake!

Yousef, that means you're the first player on the board!

Yousef, because you didn't specify a colour, I've assigned you Red, like your avatar. Now, you get to choose another letter!

Scores on the doors are:
Yousef – 1

Oh I’m so sorry I missed the part where I had to choose a color, I thought only Hikari was supposed to.
Red is cool though!! You read my mind!!
And awesome, I was so worried my memory failed me. I knew it was Jessica cuz I was head over heels for her back in 2012.
Alrighty, I’ll choose the letter Y.
Y, you ask? Gee, I wonder Y…

Also, I’m really honored to be first!

 

[Deleted member 25310]

Damn! I did find Jessica dressed up as the character, didn't actually know if it was oficial or anything tho. Nice one Yousef!

Is this a trick question?
Adding to Yousef answer, Jessica Nigri AND Mayu Kawamoto.

 

[Yousef]

Yeah that’s what threw me for a loop. I was so close to mentioning Mayu.

 

[Gorse]

I thought she was a total babe-a-zoid at the time, too. She probably still is today! Bless her heart.

Adding to Yousef answer, Jessica Nigri AND Mayu Kawamoto.

That's correct, too, but Yousef was first! This game is about speed just as much as knowledge.

Alrighty, I’ll choose the letter Y.

You got it, Yousef!

The question for "Y" is as follows:
2017's Yooka-Laylee was touted as a spiritual successor to Rare's previous 3D platformers. Which e-celebrity was planned to voice a character in the game, but removed before it was officially released?

JONTRON!!!!
I knew the story too well…

 

[micheI]

JONTRON!!!!

You were quicker than me. Good job.

 

[Deleted member 25310]

Wow, that was fast!

THAT'S RIGHT!!!!​

Yousef, you're on fire! Literally. You'd better sort that out.

Pick another letter, Yousef-baby!

Alright, I’ll pick O.
Why O?
O, I wonder why…

 

[Antilocal123]

TLDR

 

[PrismRed]

Oooohh I love how the questions are actually kinda obscure.
I hereby restrict myself from looking up the internet as self-imposed challenge.

 

[Yousef]

TLDR

This isn’t TikTok, gotta respect the gorseshow.

 

[Gorse]

Oh my-my-my, you've got it!

TLDR

It's worth it to play GORSEBUSTERS, chumberland!

The question for "O" is as follows:
Oddworld is one of gaming's best-known Western platforming series. In the PS4-era remake of the first Oddworld title, an in-game advertisement for which other real-world game appears?
(This question has multiple answers, and I'll accept any one or more of them.)
