You guys rock...especially my co-host, Des!

And Neverending provided some awesome swinging music to the 1st Round. Way to go!:)

Let's hope for more turnout come Sunday night...hopefully Fortunato and neverending will get a REAL run for their money!:cool:

At the end of Round 1 of HDC Trivia, the scoreboard is :

Between my work and the comp, I am pretty busy. 8 hour shift, plus stuff here at HDC, keeps me totally involved. Its like this : Morning - comp, afternoon & evening - work, nights - comp, late night - sleep.

I hope you both do. I know Urge has a secret love for trivia, and would most likely make the 2nd round on Sunday as well.

Despare 03-13-2008 05:40 AM

Hopefully the 11 PM start works for everybody and remember, you can always stay and answer a few of the first questions and leave anytime if it gets late. We'll keep your score. :)

angrymob 03-13-2008 06:47 PM

AAAAHHH!Lost my on line service for three days.pissed that I missed round1..WILL BE HERE SUNDAY.

Kane_Hodder 03-13-2008 07:07 PM

Damnit I missed the first round.
I will be here on Sunday for the next one.

_____V_____ 03-15-2008 09:13 AM

***BUMP***

Dont forget, folks...Sunday night at 11 PM will be Round 2 of The Official HDC Trivia Contest, sponsored by NEW Radio. It will be conducted in the Modern Horror Movies section, so be online and keep an eye peeled on that section.

Also, we have been debating over conducting Round 3 (and possibly subsequent Rounds) in the mornings. But traffic is usually higher at evenings and nights, hence the nocturnal timings right now.

What do you say? Your choice is our command.:)

We are here only to serve you so as _V_ said, please, let us know what you think. If there's an outcry to have an afternoon or morning trivia round once in a while I'm sure we can swing it.

Kane_Hodder 03-15-2008 06:15 PM

It would be good to have a few rounds on weekdays in the mornings, I guess.

Despare 03-15-2008 07:03 PM

Well, less than 24 hours now and we have questions in hand already just waiting to be answered. One thing though, NEW Radio is the sponsor for this little contest and I just wanted to remind people to start listening before the game is afoot. Neverending does such a great job with that station and you're really doing a disservice to yourself if you play along without listening.

_____V_____ 03-15-2008 07:09 PM

Yep...check out NEW Radio for sure. Neverending does an awesome job giving background scores with some really groovy and jamming music.

We still await the majority's views on conducting some Rounds in the morning/day. Have your say, folks.

neverending 03-15-2008 08:06 PM

Thank you both for the praise. Setting the mood for these HDC events is very fun. I like it even better when people tune in and enjoy it! Since the next round is all horror movie trivia all the music will be from horror films. You're sure to hear Goblin, Carpenter and many other favorites.

angrymob 03-15-2008 08:18 PM

Please excuse my ignorance on the matter,but how do I find the tunes?Not sure where to look for neverending.

neverending 03-15-2008 08:47 PM

NeverEndingWonder Radio can be found at http://www.NeverEndingWonder.com - however I won't be playing the horror soundtracks till the trivia contest Sunday night.

_____V_____ 03-16-2008 08:58 AM

Tap tap tap...

Just a small reminder that tonight is...



...TRIVIA night!:cool:

angrymob 03-16-2008 09:34 AM

I cant wait but I am nervous about being able to log in.Sometimes it lets me and other times not.The screen reads 'THANK YOU FOR LOGGING IN..." but I am unable to post.Anybody out there know why?

angrymob 03-16-2008 05:06 PM

a machete! Sorry,just warming up.:)

_____V_____ 03-16-2008 05:37 PM

10 minutes remaining for Round 2 of HDC Trivia Contest, which will be staged in the Modern Horror Movies section.

And my friend Despare is not yet online...which is a bit worrying.

Anyway, I would like to request all Trivia players to head to the Modern Horror Section for Round 2, which starts shortly...

angrymob 03-16-2008 05:39 PM

Quite.:confused:

neverending 03-16-2008 05:40 PM

Well, you were late last time!

NeverEndingWonder Radio will be broadcasting horror movie soundtracks in keeping with this evening's theme of Horror Movie Trivia. Uncle Ozma will also be providing commentary. Tune in at:

Our official sponsor, NEW Radio, is now online...all set to do the soundtracks for Round 2. Check it out.

All trivia players, please move to the Modern Horror section for tonight's Round 2.

Man, I thought for sure if I had it after noon but before 1 PM you would be sober. I forgot about your Friday rule though... should have made it at 8 AM and caught you before the first few rounds. Ah well, you'll just have to suffer.

angrymob 03-16-2008 06:58 PM

Yeah,dont miss out on a good time!join us friday.Outstanding job _v_ and Despare.Incredible music by Nevermore.Thanks all! HAd a blast!!:)

_____V_____ 03-16-2008 07:02 PM

Yep, NEW Radio is our official sponsor, and will continue to bring us rocking music for all the Rounds!

Thats the leader-board as it stands now. I leave you with it. Good night, folks!

neverending 03-16-2008 07:03 PM

Really great job V and Despare, in making the questions creative- not just the run of the mill trivia questions. You two rock!

Not sure if I can be around for the next one- but I may be able to set something up to play soundtracks for the duration.

Darnit...I sure hope you are on, Never. Round 3 is Classic Horror Trivia, and you simply HAVE to be online.

neverending 03-16-2008 09:01 PM

Gotta pay the bills somehow!

Can't you play AND pay bills?

neverending 03-16-2008 09:04 PM

Not when paying the bills includes working for a living.
