Thanks, folks!
I’m not a man of words - I prefer funny pictures, so here’s how I see the final standings:

Yeah, and you don’t use far too many smilies too:

You like to express yourself through pictures, I use emoticons instead. (Someone once said on this forum (I think it was kate me) that I probably have my own smileys collection. That person was right ).

What I actually meant is that I prefer little meaningless chit chats over boring game discussions that never end (mostly because I hate reading everyone’s replies )

Oh and I love the picture as well   Although I think this one looks even better.
Of the three actresses Michelle is the one who resembles me the most (Hey you even got the hair color (blonde) right! ), although I’m much younger than her.
And good old Jack suits you perfectly. He is known as being a womanizer, and you can’t stop talking about getting laid so…

Nice one zobraks!

@ Sweet D
Ah yes, the smileys collection. Yep!
I also have a bunch of them and lots of other gif files too.

@ chrisie and TimovieMan

New quizzes?! Can’t wait to see them!
I also have something but still need a few more pics. So, not yet…

I’ll be looking forward to your quiz. Can’t wait for it to see the light of the day.

New quizzes?! Can’t wait to see them!

I repeat:

(long term project, don’t get your hopes up yet)

I’m still amassing bucketloads of screenshots, and I’m nowhere near completing this insane project (somewhere along the lines of “still months off”). But if all goes well, I’ll have 10-15 supersize quizzes…

In order to make super quizzes you need not only a huge stock of screenshots. What you need more is a gaming experience. I bet Lady Kestrel, Lucky Eddie SuperEdy, HandsFree, Bastich, Fien (I know Fien had), Trunkyo and the likes had played hundreds of AGs, so they are able to pick a picture that isn’t characteristic of a game and doesn’t give it away easily (Trunkyo is a master of uncharacteristic details and a living encyclopaedia of in-game trivia).
I know I can pick a shot or two that don’t look like they’re from the game they’ve been taken from, but (luckily for the participants of my non-existant quizzes) I have played too few AGs (and have taken too few screenshots by myself) to make a (decent) quiz of my own.

BTW, shouldn’t we discuss future enterprises here?

Demotivating me isn’t going to help…

Besides, they can’t ALL be difficult - it needs a few gimmes…

It’s still “too distant future” to be discussing it at all, really…

The problem is that’s it’s very hard to predict which ones will turn out to be easy.

If you post a screenshot that features on every famous AG site (like the one from “Tunguska”) - that’s easy, if you post a screenshot from the most famous AG there is (like Syberia) which is hard to find on the Internet - that’s hard.
I believe it doesn’t matter so much whether a game is obscure or famous as much as it matters whether a screenshot is obscure or well-known.
There were screenshots from Grim Fandango, The Longest Journey and the likes that a lot of people failed to guess just because those screenshots were unique and/or not well-known.

BTW, it crossed my mind that #37 might be Syberia, but I had played the game and I didn’t remember that boat and couldn’t find the same boat on the Internet, so I concluded (wrongfully) that it wasn’t Syberia.

The stranded quiz might have been a little too difficult too.

As always, it depends on how much you know about the subject.
Once the people had figured out your quiz featured (almost) every AG published in last two years, the guessing (at least part of it) became quite easy. I never heard about Doc Apocalypse and Reperfection before, and I was only vaguely familiar with Secret Files 3, Doctor Who, The Lost Chronicles of Zerzura, To the Moon, Hector: Badge of Carnage, Resonance.
Oops, I seem to have divulged a secret of the trade. And I additionally disappointed Adventurere.

Heh, the Syberia boat was one of the ones I accidentally stumbled upon…
