That's probably a bit unavoidable Isaac Send a noteboard - 13/03/2012 09:24:39 PM
I was throwing together number 4 a few days back (listed as number 3) when I noticed I'd never posted number #3, which was actually a different quiz I'd scrapped as being 'a bit too obscure' at the time, this is it with some modification, or one of them anyway, the original quiz Vol 3 was on trilogies but that was just a mess and that ship has sailed. They're meant to be a bit arcane on some things, but I try to put some easy ones in and it's very hard to gauge.

Movies and TV shows are international enough, as are, admittedly, cartoons and anime to some extent (though of course anime is a rather binary thing, you either watch it or you don't), but American comics don't have all that much international appeal, at least not in actual comic form.


Probably, I know the movies make their rounds, the anime references are a bit shoehorned to make it diverse appeal since I really don't watch them much myself either. The upside to Amerocentric quizzes, I suppose, is that the media is so widespread you foreign devils have at least a shot at it. I had to google just to try to find a Belgian cartoon... and this is what I got, WTF and NSFW. Which frankly scares the hell out of me and I assume is a parody but nevertheless was right up near the top of "Belgian TV shows", showing the futility of searching that one and tempting me to open up an entire thread on it. Ideally I'd like to do quizzes on the really more obscure arcana like 'what was the name of the actor who played Romulan Commander in Stark Trek episode 'balance of terror' and what other role did he play?' but I think that stuff's got to be reserved for down the road themed quizzes, till then I'm just going for whatever seems pretty well known for the genre, and that's probably gonna be 90% US stuff.

Still, I probably should've gotten Sideshow Bob. Guess I've never watched the Simpsons enough.


For Shame! Though I do think the series kinda died after season 15.

I take issue with three of those. - 15/03/2012 04:29:39 PM 561 Views
Well the definitions aren't that ambigous - 15/03/2012 06:11:03 PM 635 Views
These seem to be getting increasingly obscure... I suppose that makes sense in a way. - 13/03/2012 08:49:04 PM 525 Views
Mostly a byproduct of why this quiz appears so soon after the last - 13/03/2012 08:58:43 PM 574 Views
On this one more than all the rest, nationality will tell, I guess. - 13/03/2012 09:03:12 PM 519 Views

I totally remembered his name until you asked the question. - 13/03/2012 11:14:19 PM 694 Views
I only knew 1, 3, 5, and 10. - 13/03/2012 09:20:56 PM 581 Views
1, 3, 5, 7 for me - 13/03/2012 09:34:55 PM 686 Views
16; not bad for a non-comic geek, IMHO. - 13/03/2012 10:58:48 PM 753 Views
