1 vs 100

I love general trivia games, but I was unable to play 1 vs 100 for quite some time, as the Live games may as well as been scheduled by someone with a copy of my class schedule and a deep hatred for me. Thankfully, Thanksgiving (hurrpunnotintended) gave me a few days off of school, and I was able to max out my avatar action 10 times in a Live game last night.

I didn't really find the achievements too hard, seeing as how I'm just insanely awesome and got my first 16 questions right. The 6 instant answers took me a while though, seeing as how it's a fucking stupid achievement when a quarter of the questions are along the lines of "Which of these are longer/bigger/smaller/harder/better/faster/stronger?" and you therefore need to see all 3 answers before you can respond. I got something like 10 4-5 question streaks, which took me like 2 hours. I finally got a 5-question streak and then I got the question "In what movie does Paris Hilton play a drug-addled spoiled heiress?" The answer to that is Repo! The Genetic Opera, a cult movie that almost no one's heard of but I would have the bastard children of.* So yeah, that was pretty awesome.

All I have left now is to answer 500 questions, which amounts to around 2.5 hours of aimless button mashing as I do something on the computer, and that'll be arcade #28. Unfortunately, my ever-present foe Birky also got the game, so it's a complete wash for my arcade completions challenge that I'm probably not going to win anyway.

*This is the second time in three articles that I've mentioned having babies, I promise I'm completely male and have absolutely no gender confusion issues.
