Superquiz: Symbolmania! - Page 6

Thank you for the quiz!

The ones I recognized and could name had of course been taken and while I recognized around 10-12 other symbols, I could not remember where I've seen them before.

As I usually do my notes on post-it notes (and have gotten a bit too used to games/hogs that put everything like this in your in-game notebook) I haven't any records from previous playing to check either.

Sorry.

Déj�* vu? I could have sworn I read this before...

Let's see. Your post was the equivalent of me walking up and saying "I've just seen a movie about something-or-other that I enjoyed, I'd like to see more films about something-or-other" and having you reply with how ignorant I am on the intricacies of film-making.

So, really, the point you're conveying is fine and all, but holds very little relevance to my comment that had no purpose other than to simply say "hey, I've played a quiz about cursors before, I enjoyed it!". Basically, shoot the breeze as best it can be shot over a forum.

Would a cursor quiz be difficult to do? Possibly, but I'm not obligating you or anyone else to do it. Would people enjoy it? I enjoyed the last one I played. I imagine I'd enjoy another one, so, I don't know, maybe, yes? Unless you're insinuating people like me aren't really people (I have been dreaming of a white unicorn running through a misty forest lately...

).

For what it's worth, I used to do trivia games back when I frequented Abandonware sites. I'll be sure to send you my trivium vitae ASAP, so you can better determine my qualifications to voice a thought on the matter from now on.

Well, I'm glad we cleared that up.

The first one, of course. Or the first one I saw you post before you started editing and deleting your posts left and right, anyway.

Exactly. I think there are many unique cursors out there, but it would be a tough quiz to assemble for one person.

I recognize at least 6 of those immediately.

I've removed the two posts Gonchi considered offending, so as not to ruin Trunkyo's quiz thread.

Gonchi · 03-29-2011, 07:10 PM

I didn't think of them as offensive at all Fien. I frequently visit the forums of the highly prestigious gaming magazine, so I'm not very prone to being offended.

Your posts were perhaps a tad surprising and unexpected considering how long we've both been around, so I teased you. No offense was meant from my part, kindly accept this animated dove I'm leeching from somewhere as a peace offering.

So many familiar cursors.... *bangs head against the wall* why can I only recall ooooone!

Gonchi · 03-29-2011, 10:37 PM

It's a tough quiz no doubt. Didn't you play in it Skeeter? You got at least 2 back then (or at least someone named Skeeter did).

skeeter_93 · 03-30-2011, 12:46 AM

Uh.... I think I did play it... I must've been smarter back then

I don't think there's another skeeter here, but I have seen someone on another board.

zobraks · 03-30-2011, 01:06 AM

There's another skeeter at Mystery Manor (the one that failed miserably in Fall Tournament

).

I'm the skeeter on a few adventure game sites, except I'm not skeeterUK on gameboomers. Basically, if it's a skeeter/skeeter93 it's me.... unless they are good at the quiz's, then it's not me
