Live action mario is good stuff

Check it out!
Good night last night at Parkway Station! The scores went flippy floppy at least twice, with those who bombed round 1 rocked round 2, and the trailers from round 2 almost aced the handouts. It was just crazy. To top it off, the last place team went big with thier [...]



**Belmont Inn Takes a Break**

November 20th, 2009 at 9:27 am » Comments (0)

Hey folks, one thing I forgot to mention in the last blog post — The Belmont is going on hiatus for the Thanksgiving Holiday and for the Civil War football game on 12/3. That means that we’ll be back in action for the Thursday Quiz on 12/10.
Apologies for any inconvenience this may cause. (Yes, I’m [...]



The Last Laugh (Belmont Inn)

November 20th, 2009 at 9:04 am » Comments (0)

I tend to spend much of my time on this blog apologizing to, more than any team in Pub Quiz, Beige Food. The Beige and I have this love/hate relationship: They love Pub Quiz and I love them for coming each and every week, but they hate when I muck up their scores (understandably so) [...]



Space Room Invaders (Space Room)

Some familiar faces invaded the Space Room for our Video Game-themed quiz on Wednesday night. It was great to see old friends “Nuts & Gum,” “Bobby Monster,” and “Bishop & Queen” again — even if two of those three teams were going by different names. You can’t slip anything past ol’ Quizmaster JPP — I [...]

Gamer chicks DO exist!

November 19th, 2009 at 10:46 am » Comments (0)

There were many at last night’s quiz, which just goes to show you – girls can be super nerdy too! Just kidding. Gamer chicks, like girls who like beer rather than fruity drinks, are awesome. There’s no denying it.
In first place last night, ninja style, was the team calling themselves “The Joysticks”. [...]



Yep… It Happened… Someone actually brought in an original Colecovision… Frickin’ Awesome!! The Thirsty Lion 11/18/09

It was indeed awesome… unfortunately they didn’t have a power cord or I would have hooked it into the big screen tv and played some Jumpman! It was a great night last night down at the Ol’ Thirsty Lion as we whipped out our joysticks and diddled our buttons for our video game quiz.
During our [...]



The key to winning tonight: A,B,B,A – Big Time Brewing Co 11/18/09

Dude, A,B,B,A was the best cheat code of all time. Unlimited 1-Ups in Ikari Warriors. That game was sweet. Speaking of sweet, how sweet was the magazine Nintendo Power? I had a subscription. That rocked, and I think it would have helped tonight. Needless to say it was Video [...]



Donkey Kong

I love it when I have a little audio to drive in the fact that you MISSED THE DONKEY KONG QUESTION. Twice, most of you.
But you do have some totally sick game systems. Check it out:

The Sellwood Public House is a great little get-away on Wednesday night, we’re starting to see some teams [...]
