Nope, Python and these last few rounds are a long time coming simply because I want more people to be able to take part in the "prize rounds". :)

Alright, the HDC Battle Royale is over and although I'm sad to see it go I am glad that I'll be able to finish the last few rounds of trivia. I'll keep you all updated but we'll be having three rounds very soon.
1. General Trivia
2. The often hyped "Python Round"
3. Horror movie trivia for the win.
Maybe this hiatus have given some people time to watch a few more movies, and hopefully be dismissed from classes for the summer.

Well, another round down and another prize awarded. Neverending seems to be wrapping his victory up BUT there's still two rounds including the oft delayed "Python Round" (with over twenty points!) which may take place Friday... we'll see. ;)

Here's the points so far...
Neverending - 30
fortunato - 18.5
Angrymob - 12
Newb - 12

Gorephobia - 3

Thanks to fortunato for the intense competition. I really only won by being around for the first few rounds where not many played and racked up the points early, and then scoring a few points every round thereafter. If fortunato had been there in the beginning he'd have beat me for sure.

:rolleyes:
Here they are thanking me to the skies and I disappear just when the final round was due! Some host I am...hmph! :mad:
Sorry, Des...and sorry, folks! Yet again my absence would have made my co-host twitch a little bit (I can understand the 10 minute break) but he did it quite solidly, and covered tonight's round quite smoothly. Kudos go to Despare!
And many, many congratulations to NE for winning HDC Trivia Contest. Good job of giving him a REAL run for his money, Fortunato.
And Newb nailed 3rd with plenty of beers too!
Good job, gentlemen!
I would like to thank NE for the awesome radio soundtracks he provided throughout HDC Trivia Contest Rounds, which made them very colorful. Thanks to all those who participated in every Trivia Round in the past few months.
Ciao folks...I hope I can discipline myself good enough to make it to each one of the rounds when and if we have another installment. Adios till then!

Consider missing tonight's round your "hibernation". ;)

Consider missing tonight's round your "hibernation". ;)
And missing other rounds? :o
I did manage to give you quite a few "shocks" and "tremors" in the schedule.
