Nobody’s seen The Room, huh? Well it’s not exactly a good movie. A lot of questions went -whoosh- at the pub last night, but I think everyone had fun regardless. Round One got a bit of a shake up, we ran 5 for 5 rather than Bingo- but only the Sandbar Developers could pull out [...]

Turkey day USA, good times, better food. I shouldn’t blame anyone for missing pub quiz the night before, but I will. You missed out! Team Orange, besides being impossible to rhyme with, took an early lead and rode the wind to victory- there may have been an upset early on but no one ended up [...]

Well, here it is! The world’s first hard drive, first introduced in 1956 — IBM’s 5MB Random Access Memory Accounting: RAMAC®, magnetic-disk memory storage. It stored information on fifty disks, which spun at 1,200 rpm. Today 5MB is nothing! If my torrents aren’t moving at least 1MB/sec I’d consider them slow. One day it’ll move [...]

There were some very good tips on saving money at Wednesday’s thrift quiz. Then again there were also some very questionable tips. If everyone siphoned gas from each other planning road trips would sure be a hassle. Three heavyweight teams showed up to the quiz and duked it out for the prize money and bragging [...]

I’ve traveled into the future from the night of Pub Quiz at the Horse  & Hound just to write this blog post. Sadly I’ve since misplaced the time machine, meaning I can’t travel to next week’s quiz. I just sort of have to wait for it to happen. Thanks to everyone who came and skinned [...]

Yes, 1990 was over 20 years ago. Don’t remind me! I wish it could have been the 90′s forever. Some kind of recursive time loop for the decade. Square Enix would still be Squaresoft. No one would know or care what an ipad was. I could see Pulp Fiction in a movie theater. Oh wait, [...]

How about the theme last night? Scare anyone away? Yeah, ok, I haven’t really watched Mad Men either. It’s one of those shows in the backlog of shows that ‘oh I should watch that, I hear it’s good’; like Boardwalk Empire or Six feet under. And yet after playing through round 2′s ‘Name that TV [...]

Best period of political pundits, right? 2000-2008. Remember the deficit we used to have? Obama and Biden throw a joke around now and then but there isn’t much to laugh about anymore. Oh right, Pub Quiz! Good times. Every team sent someone up to the mic to tell a story of a disastrous mistake for [...]

Still hot as heck in the pub, I’ve got to bring a fan next time. And maybe a desk lamp. Great game though, lots of laughs and new faces. We had a few chefs in teams incognito, serving up the cooking-related questions; but I guess none of them made it to finals or they’d have [...]

How’s having the quiz inside, huh? Stifling I’ll say, work up a sweat. Better than all that wind and cold I guess. I hope whoever sat near the speaker left with their ears intact. Bonus points are here to stay at the Horse & Hound, and I saw alot of good ones for mythological creatures. [...]
