Live Radio Trivia is Friday!
« on: October 15, 2010, 03:34:49 PM »

That means tonight, 6pm Pacific!

http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/trivia/24250

We brought back Live Radio Trivia last month and had such a great time listening to music and hanging out with you that we're going to do it again this Friday 15 October at 6pm Pacific.

Here's how it works:

Join us in NWR Chat and our live trivia stream at 6pm Pacific, this Friday, 15 October. We will play 3 songs from a video game, and you send your guess to the nominated host by private message in the chat. This week, it's James (Crimm in chat). There will be a one minute warning after the end of the last song, but remember that your first guess counts, so make the most of it! In the event that no one gets it right on the first try, we will look at second guesses, so keep guessing if you change your mind, but it's best to get it right the first time.

Similar to last time, we will have four games that have been released on Nintendo systems in North America. We're starting fresh, so songs that may or may not have been used in Radio Trivia Podcast Edition will appear. The fifth song is a scoring bonus track where the North American release rule does not apply.

In summary:

Join us at 6pm Pacific/9pm Eastern this Friday 15 October.

You will need to be connected to NWR Chat and our live radio stream. Use the embedded player here, or the MP3 stream. The links won't be live until the starting time, so use NWR Radio to test you can receive the audio.

1) We will play three tracks from a game that has been released in North America on a Nintendo platform. Guesses consisting of the game title are to be sent by private message in our chat room to the nominated host at any point until after the final song is over, when the host will give a one minute warning before submissions will not be counted.

2) The first guess counts. However, if no one gets the game correct on their first guess, then second guesses will be counted for points, and so forth. This means that it is best to wait until you are sure of the answer before you make a guess, but if you realise that you're wrong, go ahead and message with your new answer. Everyone who guesses correctly within the "guess limit" scores one point. Note that usually someone will get it right on the first guess.

3) Songs will be followed by a bonus question relating to the game. The first person to answer this in the public chat room scores one point.

And thats it!

Three tracks each from four games will be played in total, followed by one bonus track where the North American release rule doesn't apply. In the event of a tie, sudden death will be in effect with single tracks from Nintendo platform games played until one player is unable to answer while the other gives a correct answer. Winner will be decided at the discretion of NWR hosts, all decisions are final.

Hosts:
James Jones (Crimm)
Aaron Kaluszka (MegaByte)
Karlie Yeung (nwr_karlie)

Prize:
Winner takes all this week with our NYCC Okamiden prize pack!

That's an Okamiden poster signed by Motohide Eshiro, a lost Chibiterasu flyer, Chibiterasu headband, and we'll even throw in this We Love Golf Wii Remote case.

Note the new time, as we're giving it a try an hour earlier this week to see how it works out. See you there!

Darn, I don't think I'm going to make it this time. Closing shift for me on that day, I think.

I think I'll actually make this episode. Last time, I was driving into Denali National Park. This time, I'll be sitting at home! Whoo!

I'd like to say I will make it to this one... no guarantees. 6pm Pacific is 1am on GMT, so I'll brew a coffee and try to stick it out.

If my schedule doesn't implode again (it does that often), I'll be there. Maybe even get a point this time!  ;D

Note: Sorry if the headband/flyer is a little beat up. I got them near the beginning of the day at NYCC and they had to deal with being stuffed in a bag with tons of other stuff, most of which will probably pop up in future site giveaways.

Also, Wii Remote not included. :P

I'll probably try to make this. I imagine that, because of the ties last time, this round is going to be more difficult. If I were paying more attention, I would've been tied too.

QUESTION: Is that prize open to all attendees, or are staff members excluded? I WANT THAT MASK!

I'm amazed about how I won without getting a single song correct.

OHMYGOD I CAN'T BELIEVE IT.

I had to stay at work later today, then the wife had me pick up dinner on the way home. I didn't even bother checking in because I knew it would over or almost over.

SO ANGRY.

I still joined in to listen even if they were already playing the tie-breaker song.

Fate had other plans for me and the power and Internet were out the whole time.  :(


Oh well, maybe next time.
