 Posted: Wed Jan 03, 2007 2:39 pm Post subject: New TV and Movies Quiz Section! |
 |
|
Hi all,
Just to say that the new TV and Movies quiz section you might have read about on the home page now actually has some quizzes in it!
As well as quizzes focussing on the individual fandoms now hosted here at OSA, there will also be more general quizzes on topics like the history or science behind certain fandoms as well. So fans of things like CSI or Bones can test their forensics knowledge, fans of the Mummy can see how much they really know about Egypt etc, and those who might not be fans can also have some fun and test their general knowledge!
At the moment there are three sections, TV, Movies and General, with three or four quizzes in each. More quizzes will be added over the next few days. At the moment, most of the fandoms covered are those I know fairly well, but I'm hoping to cover everything eventually.
If anyone has any suggestions or requests for quizzes, please send these to quiz@openscrolls.net
To find the new quizzes, click on TV/Movies in the 'Fic Archives' menu on the left hand side of the screen, then click 'Quizzes', or else follow this link; Quizzes
Many thanks
SW

If it's any consolation, you did better than my dad 
I'm planning on getting a range of difficulties, if that makes sense. The general Moulin Rouge one, once I actually stop faffing and finish it, I would imagine you'd ace  And I have some general ones on different aliens in different movies and some other ideas. As I said, hopefully over this next week or so there should be a lot more coming.
Congrats though, Al, on being the firstest ever quiz-taking person in the new section!

And what a brilliant first it was.  Anyone else will do better at least.

WOOHOO!
EDIT: Just went and did the Red Dwarf quiz. I scored 8/10 in 2 mins 10 secs... not that anyone will see it because I'm an admin.

I'm so glad folks have enjoyed it so far! (and Do, I sympathise - I got 8 out of 10 on a quiz Ghetto sent me, but I can't play it for real )
Anyway, just to let everyone know, there are three new quizzes up now.
There is now a 'Harry Potter Spells quiz', which is in the movies section, so you can see how well you'd survive in Harry's universe.
Also, thanks to the lovely Ghetto, there is now a quiz on 'Rome' the series in TV, and a 'Lost' easter egg quiz, to see how many of the finicky details in Lost you actually spotted! Ghetto very kindly donated both of these, so check them out and see how you do!
And once again everyone, thanks for your support and participation!

That one is quite a challenge! 6 out of 10 while I am mostly pleasantly distracted by Mr Southern Comfort when watching Lost (yes I had his question wrong LOL) So yeps, these quizzes are a great addition.

*thinks about that for a second* I think I wouldn't mind taking sips of Sawyer..., but when it comes down to whiskey, I prefer Jameson. I think you can buy that here, but I hardly drink alcohol. So yeah...
