Our Gift to You Is This Super-Easy Quiz

Bah, I blew a few seconds here... I have a feeling I won't be staying in the top twenty for long.

Is it unforgivable that I needed to look up two of the questions?

(Max Payne, and Night of the Living Dead)

In light of your elected forum title... yes.

I'm really a zombie SURVIVAL specialist, and zombie archetype specialist, not a historical specialist.

In fact, no matter WHAT type of history it is, I suck at it.

But as someone with a zombie plan, the tools to execute that plan (unlike most "zombie plan posers") and an encyclopedic knowledge of zombie survival (kicked off by Max Brooks) I feel I still deserve the title.

Here's how you tell if someone is a zombie survival specialist, quote any post they have made, and say something about how in a zombie apocalypse you would use a shotgun, if they don't correct you and offer a realistic alternative, they are no specialist.

What are you talking about? Shotguns are great! You only need one of the BBs to punch through the skull to effectively scramble the brain and incapacitate them. And you're given what, a few hundred of the pellets in a shell. That's a few hundred dead Zs!!!!

OT: I always enjoy seeing the top 20 have a time of under 40 seconds. Way to be.

God I hope this isn't serious.

First of all, I hope you don't think each BB is going to spread in such a way that each single one hits a zombie in the head and kills them.

Secondly, the ammo is heavy, it's impractical to travel with (and if you want to survive, you're going to need to be able to move)

Lastly, it's loud, this is the main problem, the noise. Your best, in fact, pretty much your only defense in a zombie apocalypse is going unnoticed, if you start blasting a shotgun everywhere, you'll soon find yourself in a sea of zombies.

Yes, it was a joke.

However, I wouldn't start by immediately throwing out the idea of guns and accepting that noises attract the zombies. The thing you would have to worry about more is that by constantly firing a gun you will loose hearing in your ear that matches with your dominant eye, being half deaf is more worrisome than you would think. That is a guaranteed result of weapons fire and no one knows how zombies truly will react to loud noises since no true research has been done on it.

PS: Most Max Brooks zombie survivalists are like Dan Brown theologians, they think they know most everything because they read one book and just kept repeating it. Some of his don'ts are great ideas and should be utilized.

I wouldn't say we're that bad, Dan Brown is full of shit on things that actually exist in the world today, Max Brooks survivalists are just basing their strategies on a set of reasonable assumptions to something for which no legitimate data exists, if you don't assume anything, then you can't even begin to make a plan, since zombies don't exist today.

I said most. Good luck with your stockpiling.

I know nothing about Max Payne so I ended up with 90%. Oh well.

 

[Racthoh]

Freaking FPS questions.

 

[Logan Westbrook]

But there's another badge at stake, too. A week from now, we'll be giving out another badge to the twenty fastest quiz-takers on our scoreboard (who don't work for the site - sorry, Logan!).

Curse you John Funk, always one step ahead!

 

[Brainplant]

8 out of 10 right.

Oh well.

 

[game-lover]

*sighs* My computer was freezing through the quiz so I didn't finish in the time I bet I would have! Ugh!

On a brighter note, I got everything right and two of the questions I had to guess on 'cause I'd never played the games. Just knew other people who did.

 

[A-Heart-Of-Gold]

How did I get one wrong!?

Probably the Halo question, I nver look at the names of guns I just memorise what they look like!

 

[Folio]

I scored 100%, with 10 of 10 correct on The Escapist's The Escapist's Super-Easy Quiz 2010. Take this quiz [/quizzes/view/128-The-Escapists-Super-Easy-Quiz-2010]

I even just guessed some because I've never played Max Payne or Mass Effect... what the hell...

This quiz was so easy that I have an empty feeling inside.

 

[ThreeKneeNick]

Stupid halo. 3 generic sounding gun names + 1 unusual one. Of course i picked the unusual one >.< Got the rest.

 

[Twilight_guy]

whooo 100% yeah I got... oh wait everybody did...

I got 1:18. I'm not fast but at least I didn't embarrass myself.

 

[tombman888]

1500th out of 2482 total entries. XD

 

[The Random One]

This quiz was hilarious, and I approve.

 

[SomebodyNowhere]

I got tripped up a bit by the Halo question, but it has been a long long while since I played that game.

 

[rokkolpo]

The mass effect one was the only one for me, good guess.

The rest were no-brainers.

 

[VuvuZelaMan]

9/10, but meh. Not like it matters anyway, what with over 9000 people (okay, 2696) taking the quiz.

 

[Sh1nobu]

You didnt recognize the portal one?

*Insert Hate Speech Here*

Darn kids these days, not playing the puzzlers of their generations.

 

[Skorpyo]

Well THIS is hilarious:

I'm ranked 1337. I couldn't have done that if I had TRIED to.

 

[CrystalShadow]

Yeah.. Easy indeed, even with the questions from games I've never played.

But seriously though, seeing the results I'm always left wondering how people answer quizzes that quickly.

I mean, the mere physical act of clicking an answer, then clicking next would probably take me 3 seconds or so without even looking at what the answers or the question is.

Then it takes maybe 1-2 seconds for the next page to load.

It makes me wonder how anyone has such fast times in any of the quizzes. (although 30 seconds is still reasonable, I recall the top time in the star trek quiz was something like 8 seconds... How?!!)
