Board 8 > New competition, just a head's up

(+) Yeah! (+)

I remember someone from Board 8 commented that they wished someone had told the board that a new competition was going on. I'm usually hesitant to do so since discussion of the answers isn't allowed, but I figure I'll do it here since this is kinda right up the board's alley.

So, FYI, there's a new competition up. http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/20-gamefaqs-competitions/60489780

Thanks DDJ! I remember asking you something like this at some point, so it may have been me, but regardless who asked, thanks!

Sent one in, got a few of the seemingly-obscure ones but a couple others I had no idea on.

If you can't slam with the best, then jam with the rest.

Oh my god #5.

I've wanted to know the name of that game for ages.

I guess I'll find out soon!

Points are based on percentage correct, that's good. Better than the hard-coded values like for scattergories.

I got like the first 8 and then less than half of the rest.

Some of these seems impossible...

Thanks DJ, I follow your twitter now and saw you were getting ready for another. Busy couple of weeks but I'll try to make the short time to enter.

Took a lot of effort, but I sent in an entry with 22/25 filled in.

I'm actually pretty confident on most of them, though a few of the obscure ones took quite a long time to find any info on at all.


I don't suppose I'm allowed to say which 3 have me currently stumped? Not asking for help or anything.

2 out of the 3 of them feel like they are on the tip of my brain. Like I feel so close to knowing what I need to look up to potentially find them, but the necessary thought simply eludes me.

The other one I have just given up on.


But a bit of work goes into knowing generally which game it is and then narrowing it down to the exact game. Pretty fun I guess and I wont be too disappointed if I don't win anything.

Man I hate it when I recognize which series it's from but forgot which game it was.

I think i know enough of the obscure ones to negatively affect other peoples scores but not enough to get me a win.

Get the X out.
Vinateri was using his god powers on the Pats and then was like "Wait I'm a Colt now lol" and now you have it.

This was fun, although I only got 15 or so (even that took a solid amount of work)

^5 me too

One question I have though, there are a couple on there where there are other games that have the exact same title but are actually completely different than the one pictured, in those cases do we need to identify exactly which game system the one pictured is from?

Nah, just as long as the title's correct you're fine.

Hrm. Got 23 so far. And I'm pretty sure I've got the right versions of each game too.

Still the number one reason for the success of the Internet.

I just have 2 left, which I can hopefully figure out by tediously checking all the games I think it could be.

Thank goodness for MobyGames.

Yeah I didn't want to put in the extra few hours it would take to check down the 3 I don't know yet.

But I still have some time yet so maybe I will change my mind.

Youtube's video statistics gives you all the referral links, so you can find cheaters pretty easily using that.

Would have changed the results of the name that tune contest apparently!

Pardon my stupidity, but I've checked and I can't find how to get to that. Where is that?

Huh, interesting, good to know. Are you seeing anything there that specifically lets you know the results would've changed, though? All I see is a few threads linked to private forums.
