    Hahaha, this is a blast, I love what they've done with this! All they need to do now is get less pop culture questions and fix the announcer.

    Less Pop culture Questions? Do you just not watch trivia gameshows outside of Jeopardy?

    No, and I understand it's what they do, doesn't mean I can't wish they change it :)

    Edit: Seems so. I'm downloading it (again?) now.

    Someone really needs to post whether or not the time in the thread title is EST or what.

    Yes, the trivia show should focus on less trivial things. ;)

    Ha ha ha ha! Oh man. It was awesome and horrible watching the mob get wiped out when they asked what the 24th letter in the alphabet is (A, X, or B). There were some other jewels, but that one really tops them all.

    No.... you pretty much had to actually watch them to get some of those.

    Also, there's going to be 5 shows in a row tommorow.

    Half of the Mob got this wrong though...

    That fax paper one was the best. I actually got the alphabet one wrong. It was like one of those damn brain age tests. I hit the x button instead of the answer x.

    I didn't have my computer on when I was playing last night, so I didn't get a chance to post here or on the xbox.com message boards.

    I had a couple of minutes of internet/XBL fame last night. During the live game I was the number one overall scorer for the longest single round they had (19 questions and I scored a tad over 34,000 points). Within 30 seconds of my GT (BlackDragon1066) being shown I was inundated with about 25 friend requests, 15 XBox Live Party invites, 10 additional game invites and about 25 text and voice messages.

    The text and voice messages were down right frightening. I had 2 guys congratulate me and/or say I was smart. The rest were variants on I am gay, I need to get a life, or I touch small children. Needless to say, some assholes got bad reviews and a couple of complaints filed.

    Extended Play is basically just what the crowd does during Live games.

    You just answer about 35-40 questions, and try to get a streak going so you can earn the most points. There's no mob, or One. It goes towards future Live shows to improve your chances of being in the mob or be the one.


    During that large extended play of nerd/game questions, I only got one wrong, but I skipped about 4 that I picked the right answer anyway :x

    I just played this for the first time, and it's outstanding. If the final product costs points, it's worth every penny, (but probably not due to the ads for deodorant that will get me laid.)

    Do cheaters have their laptops next to them? Does Major Nelson check the One's IP and has them killed if they cheat? :D

    How are people getting "0" response times on answers? Seems shifty. I've picked a ton of answers before the timer starts and I'm still getting micro second response times. Also, how are people like 133tdood69 getting perfect full game streaks? I seriously doubt with names like that they've got a modicum of brains.

    I'm not sure about cheaters, but I've been near the top since the first live beta last Monday and I don't have a laptop or any web device near me. I just play with my lonesome and bounce ideas off my group.

    I also need to re-set my account settings for messages and stuff. I was again in the top 10 twice in games tonight (I'm not playing in the currently going on game) and both times I was flooded with friend requests, Live Party requests, and messages ranging from congratulatory to just plain nasty/malicious.

    Otherwise it's a fantastic diversion and a great game. I've been really suprised and the speed and performance of it given the number of simultaneous users.
