This is the thread for the Push Square Forum Weekend Quiz.
I don't think the topic needs anymore explaining really does it?
Well regardless every weekend (usually) a member of the forums makes a quiz.
The rest of you lovely folks of the forums try to answer said questions in the quiz. Or ya know make hilarious joke answers if ya don't (especially so if you're Gremio108).
Somebody wins (Though since it had been rekindled there's been a couple of draws too!) and then somebody different makes a quiz the following weekend.
The original topic was made by KratosMD (Hence the MK-II in the title. It wouldn't feel right not acknowledging that at the least)
... And uhh... Yeah. Get quizzing? 😅

@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy we used to have random quizzes which changed thread every week and @KratosMD organised it into one thread when it was his turn up. Good call all things considered.

@nessisonett Hm... I might actually be okay at this. I've missed the last couple of quizzes so I need to knuckle down.
1. Molyneux. Forgotten his first name. Not the Canadian alt-right guy
2. Will Wright
3. Hideo Kojima
4. Tim Schafer
5. Goichi Suda, aka Suda51 as the cool kids call him
6. SWERY, which is a sort of shortening of his surname. Which I've forgotten
7. Fumito Ueda
8. Keita Takahashi, absolute god
9. Argh. Can't remember. Danny Dyer? Not confident
10. I don't even recognise these games. I'll say Red Hot Chili Peppers guitarist John Frusciante. Again, not confident
11. Michel Ancel
12. Shinji Mikami
13. Barry Scott of Cilit Bang fame
14. Disgraced publicist and mogul Max Clifford
15. Johnathan Blow
16. Should know it. Do I get half a point for saying he's Japanese? Probably not
17. LSD: Dream Emulator? That's got Angela Lansbury written all over it
18. Spector. Forgotten his first name. Not Phil
19. Phil Fish, and weirdly I only remembered his first name because of the Phil Spector gag in my previous answer. Freaky
20. No chance. Could be Mr Blobby for all I know
That was a great quiz. I'm all right at developers, so I thought I might ace it, but it went to pieces a bit in the middle.
I can't believe the quiz thread is another casualty from KratosMD leaving.
Good job, Parappa. You can go on to the next stage now.

By my count, that makes the results, with an extremely tight race for the top:
@Kidfried is the winner with a brilliant 14 points! @Gremio108 next with 13 1/2 points, one day Angela Lansbury will give you the win @mookysam with 13 points @RogerRoger with 12 1/2 points @ralphdibny with 7 points (two half points for your Ueda and Schafer answers)
And @crimsontadpoles and @Th3solution tied with 3 points!
Good job everyone, who would like to volunteer for the next one?
Question 2. Not quite sure at all there to be honest. The Unfinished Swan?
Question 3. I have no idea here either. I guess I'll go with Metal Gear Solid V
Question 4. I actually recognise this... But I don't know the name at all. Castaway?
Tagline Round
Question 5. ... Nope I have nothing for that one.
Question 6. Metal Gear Solid... Surely?
Question 7. That's for the Jak & Daxter spinoff Daxter presumably
Question 8. Spider-Man?
Question 9. ... Mercenaries?
Question 10. I'll... go with Medal Of Honour?
Guest Star Round
Question 11. A
Question 12. B?
Question 13. C?
Question 14. D?
Music Round
Question 15. No Man's Sky because why not?
Question 16. Sonic Forces?
Question 17. No clue about the gaming relation if I'm being honest.
Question 18. No idea for that either. I'm gonna hedge my bets and say No man's sky again because for some reason that's all I can think of. And I'm not sure why. I've never even see footage of it
Question That Couldn't Fit Anywhere Else Round
Question 19. ... Angela Lansbury? Or is it a trick question? I can't remember if it is! It's been too long! 😅
Good Quiz there @RogerRoger with some tricky questions that's for sure!
1. That's Burnout Paradise I reckon
2. This is like the good old days of holiday snaps, when you get to the end of the reel and there are some really random photos that someone took just to use up the film. No idea. Death Stranding?
3. Armoured Core IX: A Hike to Remember
4. Hmm, feel like I should know it. Can't even formulate a guess. I'm intrigued by that glowing thing in the background though
5. Hopefully this is the Rocky game we got on PS2, because that would be an excellent tagline for it
6. Too obvious to say Metal Gear Solid, surely? Pretty poor effort if so. They should have used "You've had liquid, you've had gas, now try... Solid"
7. It's one of the Jak and Daxter games, but I don't know which one. Let's go Jak 2
8. Spiderman, must be
9. Civilization?
10. I remember the tagline, unsure of the game. Medal of Honour Frontline?
11. Guess time! B
12. A
13. D, let's do the big man justice
14. A, because I like to think I would have heard about that
15. This is the music that plays when I have to think really hard, such as when the cashier at the petrol station asks me which pump I used
16. This is the song I sing to my children at bedtime
17. Every winter, usually on Christmas Eve, I shovel snow from my elderly neighbour's drive, dressed as a topless santa. I demand no fee, my only request is that she plays this music at full volume so that the entire street comes out to watch
18. This is my celebratory music for when I have solved a particularly tricky sudoku puzzle. My family must stand to attention while my youngest son brings me my ceremonial quill on a velvet cushion so I can write in the final number. If the quill is not preened to my satisfaction then we must begin the process again
19. Is this it? Is this the Angela Lansbury moment?? I might cry if it isn't. I might even cry if it is. Don't toy with my emotions like this
This might be a tricky quiz for me, but I'll guess with all my heart.
1) GTA V. Probably not this since I don't recognise the car, but the scenery looks right.
2) Hitman 2. Some obscure room I missed?
3) Fallout 4 Again, complete guess
4) Uncharted: Lost Legacy. It's very Uncharted-like scenery, but again another guess.
5) Horizon: Zero Dawn
6) The Legend of Zelda
7) Daxter (Jak series) Glad I pay attention to these quizzes, I think Daxter being an Ottsel was a question the other week. He did get a standalone Vita game called Daxter, so it must be that surely.
8) Marvel's Spider-Man
9) God of War
10) Call of Duty
11) b) Alisa Bosconovitch
12) d) Star Ocean: Anamnesis. He's in Smash. Surely he must be a playable DLC character in Catherine too, so that just leaves a 50/50 guess between the other two.
13) d) All of the above, plus telekinesis and mind control. I want this to be true so bad, but I'm worried that the answer might be a).
14) d) Shovel Knight. He has cameos in a lot of smaller games, so I'm hoping that you were being evil RogerRoger and put him there as a red herring
15) Track 1: Sonic Forces. No actual idea, but those first few notes are killing me. They sound very familiar.
16) Track 2: Devil May Cry V. I really like this song, but not something I recognise.
17) Track 3: Kingdom Hearts 3. It's an old Christmas jingle I think, but I have no idea which game features it
18) Track 4: Final Fantasy VII? As fun as music rounds are, I don't do well in them.
1. Gran Turismo Sport, perhaps?
2. No clue, Detroit is blue so I'll say that.
3. Maybe The Surge?
4. Shadow of the Tomb Raider but I'm not sure.
5. Tomb Raider 2013
6. Metal Gear Solid.... something?
7. Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy
8. I'll say Spider-Man
9. Nope. Maybe Killzone or something.
10. CoD World at War?
11. Got to be Alisa, she's the most popular there.
12. B, Phantasy Star Online 2.
13. D, I remember him being proper OP.
14. Lara doesn't sound like an obvious fit to me.
15. Oh dear, drawing a blank. The Outer Worlds?
16. Sounds like Devil May Cry music so I'll say DmC V.
17. ...Carol of the Bells? I have no clue what game that's in!
18. This is not my round. I'll randomly say Infamous.
19. The myth, the legend, Queen of Cabot Cove, Angela Lansbury. Gremio will be chuffed!
Definitely a fun one but for someone who listens to a lot of music and soundtracks, I'm utter pants at those music rounds.
My gosh I have no idea what the answers are,I will do the quiz but it will be mostly guesses or jokey answers so here goes....
1. Something James bondy? No idea, I'll say days gone
2. Dreams?
3. Firewatch?
4.uncharted 4?
5. Resident Evil survivor (actually I think this might be tomb raider)
6. Resident evil 2+3
7. Resident Weasel
8. Drive club unlimited?
9.far cry 5?
10. Call of duty something
11.B
12.B
13.D
14.D
15. No idea, jedi fallen order maybe?
16. Deffo heard this one recently, is it metal gear rising revengeance?!
17. Is this like batman returns or something?! Sounds very Danny elfmany
18. no eyed deer, gonna guess at horizon zero dawn as I've never played it
19.dont know, Emma Thompson?
just looking at other people's answers now, for some reason I was thinking the taglines were all PS4 games 🤦♂️but I feel like I knew that solid one would be MGS but couldn't place it on a PS4 game, oh well, I'll stick to my original answers!
4) I remember this game came out a few years ago on PS4, exploring a world that's flooded, traversing by boat, I recall it was poorly reviewed, but the name escapes me completely.

THE TAGLINE ROUND
5) A Survivor Is Born Tomb Raider 6) Evil Is Powerful, But Courage Is Solid Metal Gear Solid? 7) Half Otter. Half Weasel. All Hero! Daxter 8) Take New York For A Spin Spider-Man 9) War Is Your Business Killzone Mercenary 10) You Don't Play, You Volunteer Touch My Katamari
***
OBSCURE GUEST STAR ROUND
11) Which of the following characters from Tekken 6 also appeared as a bonus playable fighter in Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 2, wearing an outfit designed by Masashi Kishimoto? Lars Alexandersson
12) Joker (the one from Persona 5, not the one from Gotham City) has stopped by many games for a cameo, but which of the following only saw his outfit make an appearance? Catherine: Full Body
13) In LEGO Marvel Superheroes, once you've rescued Stan Lee from all fifty of his perilous situations, his unlocked playable minifig (rightly) comes equipped with some superpowers. Which ones? d) All of the above, plus telekinesis and mind control.
14) Out of the following four options, can you identify who has not (yet) been a playable character in Ubisoft's free-to-play fighting game Brawlhalla? b) Rayman
***
THE MUSIC ROUND
15) Track 1: The Outer Worlds? 16) Track 2: Sounds like a Miracle of Sound track 17) Track 3: An exciting remix of Carol of the Bells, the only game I can think of that might use such a soundtrack would be Kingdom Hearts, as it has a Nightmare Before Christmas as one of the worlds. 18) Track 4: Wonderful, I feel I should know this one, but I'm unable to place it. Feels like the end credits to something. Tomb Raider?
***
OBSCURE BONUS QUESTION
19) In the English dub of Kingdom Hearts II, who voices the talking teapot, Mrs. Potts?
[/quote] No idea, the orginal voice actress from Beauty & the Beast? I seem to recall this being mentioned in a previous conversation so will be interested to see who it is.
Great quiz! A tough one but I think I put in some decent guesses. Loving the music round as always even though I'm not sure where any of them are from.
