RGT's Video Game Trivia

[MasterEn]

motherfucker you just had your turn what

edit: also i feel like a bigger issue is that 2/3 were about the same series

yeah, that is a fair point. i have been playing a lot of pikmin lately, so i had that up front in my mind. so naturally, that affected the questions.

 

[PrismRed]

i'm sorry if i was rude

in any case:

2. New Age? I dunno what it's called genre wise, I call it 90s mall music.
3. I dunno the guy but I faintly remember on internet someone bragging about appearing in MTV cribs but he posted it on his youtube channel, if its same person if I have to choose out of 4, considering he is a habitual liar, I pick A.

This looks fun, we should get it going again.

As far as the difficulty of the questions, what if we went with this approach? Either:

1. A somewhat obscure fact about a very well-known game or franchise

Or

2. A common fact about an obscure game or franchise

Having a very common fact about a well-known game often isn't satisfying(though fun sometimes), and wanting an obscure factoid for a niche game feels completely cryptic and unguessable to anyone not well-versed with the subject matter. Of course the difficulty is going to vary, but I'm assuming that's why participation has dried up. Looking through the thread, I've seen a pretty even mix of questions I either knew the answer to or could reasonably guess at, as well as hyper-specific things I could never in a million years randomly guess.

Of course, if you're not sure how approachable the questions are, multiple choice works well. Or, for a number-based question, how about whoever guesses closest gets it? Expecting someone to guess the exact numeric answer is kind of unrealistic unless there are only a handful of possibilities. Since we aren't expected to need to look up the answers to reasonably guess at them, it would help if they were at least somewhat approachable.

Then again, that's just my two cents, or three and a half cents after inflation.
