Is anyone else playing this?  It goes all afternoon starting at 7, and Saturday has live games for prizes.  It's based on the show, but I've never seen it, so I don't know about that.

It's a lot of fun, though, and the questions are genuinely challenging.  Also, it really shows how weird the avatars are.  Once they're in-game they get this really creepy pedosmile.

So come on, don't be a stranger.  Hit me with your best shot.  I'm Muffles1234, and I just lost a huge streak because I thought Singapore was the Pearl of the Orient.

EDIT:  Wrong secction.

Me and my brother played it for a while, seems pretty fun and all. Its good you can win acctual prizes, i think its only MS points atm.

Also, funny comic explaining 1 vs 100

Whatever, I'm out of here, these people cheat.

How can like half the players have twice as many points as me when I've gotten just about every question right, promptly?

Turbo controllers.  Hax.  Firin lazors

I do like the way it trips people up though.  Earlier one of the questions was "What's the scientific name for a cold-blooded animal?" and one of the answers was "Cryotherm".  That tripped up pretty much everyone.  Not me, though.  I'm Cthulhu.

Cryotherm seems like such a factiod scientific word. Like news reporter would use it. Or Rush Limbaugh. Or a reporter and Rush Limbaugh with the topic - Abortion and Evolution

Cryotherm?  That's bull.  Google has never heard of that word aside from the name of some company.  Er, companies, plural.  Same with wikipedia.

This is the kind of game you play with a laptop next to you.

The problem with that is that you score most of your points by answering the fastest, and i think you only have 8 seconds to answer the questions themselvse.

It would be very difficult to google the answers and still get a good score.

And yeah, Cryotherm wasn't the answer.  It was Poikilotherm, but you know everyone picked Cryotherm.
