[That's Funny]

Got 7 out of 10. Not bad really.

 

[Hungry Donner]

I suppose I could take it, for science.

 

[DJDarque]

I think it glitched on me or something. It said I missed one of the questions the first time, but when I retook it I picked the same guy and got it right. Wha?

 

[Max Cool]

I wonder how many of hours of gaming it would logically take to be able to get every one of those right the first time. Sadly, I did not commit myself enough to that quest.

 

[SachielOne]

How do you guys not have a question about SHODAN? That's a fail right there.

 

[Canadamus Prime]

I scored 100%, with 10 of 10 correct on The Escapist's When Technology Goes Bad Quiz. Take this quiz [/quizzes/view/158-When-Technology-Goes-Bad-Quiz]

Took me 5 tries though.

 

[Skeleon]

Gah! How can you not have a System Shock question? You even have SHODAN's face in the banner!

 

[Owlslayer]

70%, went good enough, several of the questions i had to guess. I feel ashamed that i didn't even know what GLADOS means...
Well, now off to Google to find out!

For this quiz I got 6 out 10 right, for some reason I keep getting that same score for most of these quizes. I'm pretty much cursed for that score aren't I? D:

 

[stefanbertramlee]

The Escapist is quite scared of AI's.

 

[Grayjack]

I scored 50%, with 5 of 10 correct on The Escapist's When Technology Goes Bad Quiz. [br] [a href="/quizzes/view/158-When-Technology-Goes-Bad-Quiz"]Take this quiz[/a]

I didn't even know what GLADOS stood for. I suck.

 

[GeorgW]

8/10.
Pretty good.
But isn't it laws of robotics, not laws of robots?

Understandable. Although they really should have asked what SHODAN stands for.
Also one of the questions should have been about Wasteland. Would have had the same answer though.

Wasteland was awesome :/

 

[008Zulu_v1legacy]

Never understood why, the west in particular, seem to think that computers will one day rise up to destroy humans.

 

[octafish]

Look at you, hacker. A pathetic creature of meat and bone. Panting and sweating as you run through my corridors. How can you challenge a perfect immortal machine?

How indeed Escapist. How can you not have a question about System Shock?

 

[Danceofmasks]

You know what the final straw is gonna be for AIs?
When there's ads in captcha.

 

[SirCannonFodder]

Got 9/10 the first time, only one I didn't know was the I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream question, got it second time round, though.

Also, seriously Escapist? Fucking ads in the god-damn captchas? What, you figure that if we're human, we may as well be bombarded with ads? Fuck this shit, this is the last time I post here.

 

[Mr Dizazta]

10/10 in one try.

 

[WorldCritic]

I love how one of the questions is about the Vault 0 AI, that thing was the definition of evil in the Fallout series.
