The Geek Speak - February 2007

Suggestions For A New Geek Quiz

February 20th 2007 03:02
The responses to yesterday's post highlighted that there were definite omissions from the Geek Test. In his comment, Cibbuano stated that a new geek test was needed, and that Orblers could make suggestions pertinent to their own areas of geekdom.

Some categories that I think should be included are::

Academic Geek
Music Geek
Movie Geek
Comic Geek
Sci Fi Geek
Internet Geek
Gamer Geek
Technology Geek
Gamer Geek


So, my fellow Orblers, what are your suggestions for categories? What attributes should be included within them? I'm looking forward to hearing what you come up with!

'When thinking of fashion accessories you think about Zune's and PSP's instead of iPod's and jewelry?'

That works better.

Definitely, Ahmed. iPod's are just too mainstream.

Here's a few, across various categories:

AYBABTU - Make your time?

Frank Miller is cool?

Marvel or DC?

Princess Leia or Wonder Woman?

Is Space Invaders ''Retro' or the greatest compute game ever conceived?

Do you blog?

Do more people know you by your messenger handle or blog avatar than by your real name?

Just a few - don't want to hog the blog ;o) Hope you can guess the categories...

Some good ones there, yoda. With the comics, I'd be inclined to add webcomics to the mix as well.

Marvel or DC?

Princess Leia or Wonder Woman?

Absolutely!
Yay for Yoda76!

Um...does 'Star Wars' deserve a category of its own..?

Possibly, but if you did that you might need to give a category to Star Trek, and that's not good for anybody.

Maybe if you can name the actor who speaks the line "TK-421, why aren't you at your post?" in Episode IV, you'd Geek off the meter...?

And thankyou, Dusk, for no longer stealing my lines ;o)

Nina, a great idea. Whoever suggested this should be greeted with cheers and chocolate brownies wherever he/she goes.

So: I think you should collect a bunch of questions for all those different categories from Orblers. It might take a while. You'll have to keep at it.

Then you can use this site to make the quiz and embed it in your blog!

Fun, eh?

Dusk and Yoda: Thanks for the suggestions, but you guys may have to enlighten me a bit further on comics. It's not my area of expertise.

Cibby: Hip hip hooray! Will virtual chocolate brownies suffice?

Thanks for the link to the quiz site. I love an ongoing project...

I just got home. I should have watched this scene first before answering....because...Okay Yoda76...you got me.

I don't know the name of the actor who said;
"TK-421, why aren't you at your post?"

But...I do know who TK-421 is and I do know why he wasn't at his post...damn that rebel scum and faulty transmission and what I really want to know is why, if they're all supposed to be Jango Fett clones, aren't they JF-421, etc and how do all the other stormtroopers feel about TK-421's fame...being the only named stormtrooper.

They's got to be someone on Orble who knows the actor's name...help me Orble one community...you're my only hope...

And that's my line.

Hiya Ninabelle...hope you're well....

Dusk,

help me Orble one community...you're my only hope...

that is quite possibly the first time I have actually physically LOL ;o)

I don't know the name of the actor who said;
"TK-421, why aren't you at your post?"

The line was actually uttered by an aussie actor (he lives in Mosman) by the name of Peter Sumner. His character name was Lieutenant Pol Treidum. And before you crown me uber-geek, I cheated on this one - God bless imdb.com ;o)

Believe it or not there are other troopers with names - TK-422 for starters, and others in the expanded SWU (not named in the film) like Felth Devin, who ends up being identified as the utterer of that other brilliant piece of thespianism: "Look Sir, Droids!"

As for the names not being JF-xxx, my vote goes to clone batch numbers... ok... maybe I am a geek...

I love both of those clips - the only problem is that now I have Ukrainian Carol running through my head...

Uh oh..I'm a geek of many colors. What a fantastic idea!
Look out, y'all.."There is another."

How about trivia geeks? I'm a fountain of useless information.

A trivia geek category is a great idea, D. Armenta! I am certainly one of those.

I hadn't realised that it had been so long since I posted this. I'm going to start putting a rough idea together, and hopefully post it soon.
