Get a Job!

Get a Job!

​

In honor of Labor Day, we at The Escapist encourage you to get a job -- or at least take a quiz about other people's jobs.


Labor Day was first celebrated more than 100 years ago in the US, as part of President Cleveland's attempt at reconciliation with workers. What does that have to do with you? Not much, really, so we're asking you questions about videogame characters' occupations, instead. After all, being a hero might be good for your soul, but it doesn't go far towards paying the rent.

Some quick reminders: No need to rush, but your time does affect your position on the leaderboards. You can retake the quiz, but each attempt adds to your overall time. If you want to know what questions you got wrong, just click the link at the end of the quiz.

Special applause go out to Nivag, who helped create this quiz. Thanks, Nivag!

Ready...steady...GO! (Take the quiz. [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/quizzes/view/22])

Got a quiz of your own you'd like to submit? Send it to [email protected]. If we use it, you'll receive a special badge! Please be sure to put "Quiz" as the subject and include your forum name with your submission.

Wow, that went... bad.

 

[Abedeus]

Hah, 50%. I rock.

 

[Amnestic]

70%. I'm first apparently as well. A winner is me! ;D

 

[Katherine Kerensky]

yay, 40%
so I have a 4/10 chance of getting a job?
well, a different job anyway, slave labour isn't fussy.

 

[Kilaknux]

First place! For about 5 minutes! Yay!

 

[Anton P. Nym]

Woot! 80%, 1:32. I think I'll rest on my laurels, though.

[Hazy]

100%
Granted, that was on the second go. I got 80% first time around.

 

[Sir Ollie]

70% and I got the Max Payne one wrong, hmmmm I wonder what his job actually was then.

Edit - Found out...how could I miss that.

 

[Kollega]

50%. I don't know half of the questions - which is normal,considering i didn't play half of those games.

EDIT: Now 90%,thanks to guesswork.

 

[ghalkhsdkssakgh]

Woo! 5th place (for now).

I'll have to see if I can make a quiz.

 

[sirdanrhodes]

Max Payne is a detective!

 

[Krakyn]

Who chose that song, seriously? Offspring's "Why don't you get a job?" would've been a much better choice.

 

[Femaref]

tbh, the eve question is kinda stupid, because you can do all of it.

 

[Woem]

I'm actually curious about the Mario question since I surprisingly got it wrong...

 

[Nargleblarg]

90%......I guess I knew more than I thought.

 

[Catchy Slogan]

Yay! 50%!

Because 50's (I think) swing beats punk rock most days of the week.

Indeed. Also, when it comes to videogames, The Offspring should be limited to Crazy Taxi, because, really, you can't have that game without them.

 

[The Great JT]

70%. I'm surprsed I got the Max Payne one right, I didn't think I'd get it.

EDIT: Also I liked that song in the original post. I'm not saying that today's music is bad, I'm just saying yesterday's music was better. The further back you go, the better it gets.

Damn, I still have that game on the ps2 when it first came out, so it's a blue disk one. I want to go play it now.
