The quiet before the storm. We thought that the projector was crap… but it turned out that we just had the (translucent) lens cap on… who makes a see-through lens cover anyway!?
The crowds discuss their answers in darkness… it wasn’t really that dark, it’s just hard to take good photos in low-light!
“Wendy’s Table of Doom” seemed to win all the prizes! Wendy won the prize for being our first ticket buyer and then her table won 3 of the special prizes… which were all the same…
Martin covets the World of Warcraft novel… a little too much. (Alternate caption: “I’ll get you my pretty!… and your little dog too!”)
Jason and Tone wrap it all up. Check out that smile and that cautious clapping.
The nights winners by six points were “Sid Meier’s Quiz Night”. Congratulations! Dharmesh from GameTraders Carillon Arcade gives them their prizes! 5x Wii carry bags and 5x $40 vouchers!
The final leaderboard. The top three were all pretty close!
Awesome quiz night, thanks guys! And I’m not saying that just because of our table being obnoxious prize-campers!
For those who are going to Swancon, I’m going to be signing two of the identical WoW books our table won with an inspirational, motivating message, and, uh “improving” them (there’ll be some… creative editing) and auctioning them off at the Swancon Auction.
Not sure what I was going to do with the profits (if any) from this venture, although I was thinking of donating them towards the next quiz night. Sound good?
Oh yeah, our team’s complete name was “Wendy’s Table of Doom…Team”. Because I like the word team. I even like the sound of the word. Team. Team. Team. You see this picture here? You think it’s a picture of my family? It’s not. It’s the A-team. [/end terrible IT Crowd joke]
It’s good to know I can still look manic when I want… Great night guys, and thanks again Minh for all your work. Looking forward to next time, Your Mum will prevail!
wow, it sure looked like a fun night! sorry i missed it
Thanks for your comments!
I really want to thank our great tag-team hosts Jason, Nick, Tone & Jim. No doubt I will be pushing for matching jumpsuits for them next time!
I hope that everyone who attended had a great time. Feel free to contact us or comment on this post of your thoughts and what you would like to see done differently.
We’d like to organise another video game quiz night and your comments would be a great help. Sorry to those who missed out, we hope you can join us at our next event!
