This is the thread for the Push Square Forum Weekend Quiz.

I don't think the topic needs anymore explaining really does it?

Well regardless every weekend (usually) a member of the forums makes a quiz.

The rest of you lovely folks of the forums try to answer said questions in the quiz. Or ya know make hilarious joke answers if ya don't (especially so if you're Gremio108).

Somebody wins (Though since it had been rekindled there's been a couple of draws too!) and then somebody different makes a quiz the following weekend.

The original topic was made by KratosMD (Hence the MK-II in the title. It wouldn't feel right not acknowledging that at the least)

... And uhh... Yeah. Get quizzing? 😅

Oh, I didn’t even realise this was a Kratos thread too! I think this weekend is my turn so I’ll try to do him proud.

@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy we used to have random quizzes which changed thread every week and @KratosMD organised it into one thread when it was his turn up. Good call all things considered.

@nessisonett Great quiz. Though trying to remember names you "should know" can be so frustrating, haha.

@nessisonett Hm... I might actually be okay at this. I've missed the last couple of quizzes so I need to knuckle down.

1. Molyneux. Forgotten his first name. Not the Canadian alt-right guy
2. Will Wright
3. Hideo Kojima
4. Tim Schafer
5. Goichi Suda, aka Suda51 as the cool kids call him
6. SWERY, which is a sort of shortening of his surname. Which I've forgotten
7. Fumito Ueda
8. Keita Takahashi, absolute god
9. Argh. Can't remember. Danny Dyer? Not confident
10. I don't even recognise these games. I'll say Red Hot Chili Peppers guitarist John Frusciante. Again, not confident
11. Michel Ancel
12. Shinji Mikami
13. Barry Scott of Cilit Bang fame
14. Disgraced publicist and mogul Max Clifford
15. Johnathan Blow
16. Should know it. Do I get half a point for saying he's Japanese? Probably not
17. LSD: Dream Emulator? That's got Angela Lansbury written all over it
18. Spector. Forgotten his first name. Not Phil
19. Phil Fish, and weirdly I only remembered his first name because of the Phil Spector gag in my previous answer. Freaky
20. No chance. Could be Mr Blobby for all I know

That was a great quiz. I'm all right at developers, so I thought I might ace it, but it went to pieces a bit in the middle.

I can't believe the quiz thread is another casualty from KratosMD leaving.

Good job, Parappa. You can go on to the next stage now.

By my count, that makes the results, with an extremely tight race for the top:

@Gremio108 next with 13 1/2 points, one day Angela Lansbury will give you the win
@mookysam with 13 points
@RogerRoger with 12 1/2 points
@ralphdibny with 7 points (two half points for your Ueda and Schafer answers)
And @crimsontadpoles and @Th3solution tied with 3 points!

Good job everyone, who would like to volunteer for the next one?

This was a really cool quiz, and so different from many of the quizes before. Really tapped into a certain type of knowledge.

@nessisonett Excellent quiz, and congratulations to its winner, @Kidfried (a force to be reckoned with; you've won quite a few now, haven't you?).

I can post a quiz Friday evening, if nobody else wants the honour?

@nessisonett This is the closest I've ever come to winning. Got to be pleased with that

@Gremio108 Just think, if that really was a game by Angela Lansbury, you would have pipped it by half a point.

@Gremio108 Given some of the questions I've been preparing for Friday, I think you might stand half a chance this coming weekend! Be ready!
