You know, I actually almost forgot to enter this and only did so a day before the deadline...

...and now I can give my R4 to my mom and replace it with a new Acekard 2.

Congratulations to all the winners!

(I can also see where the Question 11 concerns come from... but any game which was originally rated Adults Only and had to go through a struggle to see release in the UK has to be considered just a *little* controversial. Fair enough to exclude it though.)

19 / 25 (more like 20/25 see below)

I only got 5 wrong, not 6, because on question 11:

QUOTE said:
11. Which Wii title stirred up a large amount of international controversy?
• Bully: Scholarship Edition
• Manhunt 2
• No More Heroes
• Resident Evil 4
• All of the above
Your answer: Manhunt 2
The answer we were expecting was: Manhunt 2. This question not been taken into consideration in the final results.

I got one wrong because I overlooked the hello kitty question..oh well. It was way easy to look up the questions this time anyway. The last quiz was better imo.

BTW, I thought the online wi-fi question was a little iffy, because if I remember right, technically you could take the GBC online through your mobile phone in Japan. But then again, wi-fi is generally considered to be wireless LAN, so then it rules out cellphones

Are you serious? Controversy question was easy!


How many people got all 25 right, including controversy question?
It had no correct answer, so it certainly wasn't 'easy'. Out of curiousity, which answer are you claiming was the 'easy' correct one? It certainly wasn't Manhunt, which I assume is your unlucky guess:

Bully was extremely controversial in Britain, actually, to the point where it got the attention of the government and spawned multiple protest marches: Here.

Likewise it was controversal in Canada: here.

It was banned in Brazil.

And it was controversal in the US and elsewhere for homosexual content: Here.

Looking at all that, you can't really tell me you don't think this is a large amount of international controversy.

Those were all over the news. That is a 'large amount' of controversy by any standard. If you answered Manhunt, you definitely got the question wrong, and five seconds of googling would have revealed your error. Obviously, Manhunt was also controversal, but not particularly more than Bully (which had a much longer-lasting controversy over its multiple releases, devoted to many seperate aspects of the game.) Neither one can reasonably be called a correct answer.

Of course, No More Heroes and Resident Evil 4 were much less controversial than those two, so 'all of the above' was also not right (although I would argue it was the closest, since those two at least had some limited controversies.)

But really, the question had no correct answer. I knew something was wrong with the question as soon as I looked at it, since it gave a list of two of the most controversal games in recent memory, and two that weren't really that controversal overall.

Manhunt 2 was the clear choice. The controversy around Bully was before anyone played it, and it subsided after everyone found out it wasn't GTA in school, but a slightly deviant adventure game.

There was little controversy around Bully being released on Wii, certainly not to the extent Manhunt 2 received.

The answer was obvious to me and to the majority of users. No use arguing though, the admins took your side.

Cause of course you have to post to be a member/reader of a website

Anyway that's another topic.

See you for the next quizz

Out of the 357 correct entries (taking Q#11 out of consideration), out of those 357 correct entries 82 people got Q#11 wrong which makes the correct number of winning entries at 275, so its highly probable that out of those 82 people who got Q#11 wrong, a few of them were selected as winners, so depriving some true winners from winning their Acekards.

I'm sure everyone would like to know, out of the 87 who shouldn't have been in the draw in the first place, how many of those actually got selected as a winner?

The original release of Bully on the PS2 was called Canis Canem Edit in PAL regions so the ill-informed outrage of "OMG a videoma-game where you bully people!?" didn't really hit until the Wii version came out, complete with the original 'Bully' title.

There was also controversy specifically over the Wii version which caused some of the largest retailers, who had stocked the PS2 version, not to sell it.
QUOTEthe article in The Telegraph claims this version will be "even more realistic" and let Wii owners physically replicate the actions, prompting retailers Currys and PC World to already decide not to stock the game.

Hopefully in the next quiz, questions like #1 are thoroughly explained.

1. What is the best selling Nintendo DS game worldwide?
• Mario Kart DS
• Nintendogs
• New Super Mario Bros.
• Pokémon Diamond

The correct answer was: Nintendogs

Now look at this question....I could ask which version of Nintendogs, that's like saying something like Megaman Battle Network 3 Blue and White are the same game, when there's like what 5-6 versions of Nintendogs, the writer of this question needs to be flogged with a rubber chicken.

Mario is the correct and right answer, especially since Diamond and Pearl weren't considered one game and separated accordingly, like all the versions of Nintendogs SHOULD have been.

And the Bully / Manhunt 2 controversy question being thrown out....bullocks.

Anyone with half a brain knew Manhunt 2 was MORE controversial. Banned in the UK, given AO rating in the US, until resubmitted and changed for a M rating, banned in Australia, banned in _____ (put country here). Let alone with the little flack Bully stirred up, there was no question as to the correct answer. Let alone throwing it out, for no good reason, especially when #1 was a more flawed question.

Anyway throwing out #1 and putting #11 back in, I only legitimately missed one question, the one about VoIP, I've never played Hunters, so I didn't know the answer.

Now that I'm through venting, how's about we institute a time limit for the next quiz (if that's what the contest will be) having unlimited time and also being able to research this stuff (while nice) takes some of the true challenge out of the contest. Anyway, it was fun, but please no more questions that leave too much leeway as to what the correct answer should be or at the very least be thorough with the answers for the questions.

Ex. This is how the question SHOULD have read to begin with

1. What is the best selling Nintendo DS game worldwide?
• Mario Kart DS
Nintendogs Dalmatian or Nintendogs (all versions)
• New Super Mario Bros.
• Pokémon Diamond

Anyway like I said it was fun, and next time no F'kn cheaters, man it's supposed to be for fun, if you wanna cheat do it in a game, leave something like this alone, you do nothing but disrespect everyone with crap like that.

That's all, peace.
