Nope, I'm busy all day, oh well, like I said these last few rounds can wait since they're going to decide the winner. A little anticipation never hurt anyone. ;)

Darn. Seems like an eternity since we had the last round.

Oh well, I want Urge to be a part of the Python round though.

Yeah, I don't think any of us mind waiting a little bit to get to the good rounds.

Disease 05-13-2008 02:24 PM

So I take it there is no trivia tonight...

Rats, I finally get some internet time and then.....

Despare 06-10-2008 08:55 AM

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.

neverending 06-10-2008 08:58 AM

Meh. I'm a working stiff. I don't get vacations. Looking forward to the last rounds, however.

fortunato 06-10-2008 10:56 AM

ah, finally!

_____V_____ 06-16-2008 08:07 PM

And the next date is?

Ahh...dang. I hope she recovers soon.

My best wishes and prayers.

neverending 06-16-2008 08:29 PM

Glad I didn't miss it. I have food poisoning and have been in bed all day.

Hope you feel better!




& thanks _V_, I'm sure she'll be ok (broken hip) but the biggest thing is the family trying to put her in a nursing home even though she's sharp as a tack. My mom's taking her in AND her siblings found out that she has power of attorney so there's a lot of squabbling right now.

Despare 06-23-2008 08:34 AM

Wed. morning.

11 AM EST

_____V_____ 06-23-2008 09:03 AM

We will be here.


Will you?

Despare 06-23-2008 09:06 AM

Remember, this is general trivia, anything goes. There will be prizes.

neverending 06-23-2008 09:32 AM

As it turns out, I have an appointment that morning. I'll try and make it back.

Despare 06-23-2008 09:38 AM

Bah, I hope you can, you're a one two punch being both a great sponsor with your radio station and a trivia genius.

fortunato 06-23-2008 06:44 PM

ahhh, i'll be at work.

with no internet access.

bummer.

Darn, this prize round will include the VHS collector's edition, widescreen presentation of "Lucio Fulci's Zombie" among other things.

fortunato 06-23-2008 07:36 PM

suck.

oh well, i just really hope i can make it to the rest of them.

Despare 06-24-2008 07:39 PM

_____V_____ 06-24-2008 07:46 PM

Really cool! :cool:

Despare 06-25-2008 08:13 AM

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. ;)

32 points are still up for grabs so, while unlikely (especially with Neverending's skill), a newcomer could even take this contest.

Here's the points so far...

Neverending - 30

fortunato - 18.5

Angrymob - 12

Newb - 12

Disease - 2

Gorephobia - 3

Cactus - 6

Jenna26 - 4

Rayne - 2

Dude Guadalupe - 1

Freak - 2

AUSTIN316426808 - 3

I'm expecting a long work day on Monday, so not sure if I'll make it in time. If I do I'll be wasted from working all day.

Despare 06-30-2008 08:00 PM

There will be one more 12 question round to determine first and second place winners... I'll announce the time and date as soon as I can. Congratulations go to Fortunato who won the Python package, Neverending for winning the special prize round, and Cactus for winning The Princess Bride. (Neverending and Fortunato's prizes will be picked up by UPS on Thur. while Cactus has already received his.)

Neverending - 37

fortunato - 28.5

Angrymob - 12

Newb - 14

Disease - 2

Gorephobia - 3

Cactus - 9

Jenna26 - 4

Rayne - 2

Dude Guadalupe - 1

Freak - 2

AUSTIN316426808 - 3

missmacabre - 1

As always, thanks to NEW Radio for the amazing job providing an incomparable soundtrack to our game. :)

_____V_____ 06-30-2008 08:41 PM

With 12 points still up for grabs in the final round of HDC Trivia, I say it's anyone's game between NE & Fortunato.

It makes the final round all the more exciting!

neverending 07-10-2008 11:02 AM

neverending 07-11-2008 11:44 AM

If you come in third place I'll send you an unopened Batman Forever bath soap!

Despare 07-11-2008 03:20 PM
