Geek Jeopardy 2012

[Kitteninstrings]

Yup, that time again...

Geek Jeopardy will be in the TENT this year! ^_^
9-11am on Friday

So here's my call out for contestants. I need 3 of you.
And what categories should I use?

[gokaired]

im interested

tokusatsu
giant robots

[Kitteninstrings]

Hmm. I am not familiar with tokusatsu but will check it out. I'll also have to check out if any of the other contestants know about it. 'Cuz that wouldn't be fair or fun! ^p^ But I could definitely add in some for audience trivia.

Speaking of....

People who don't want to participate can still suggest categories as I'll need more questions for audience trivia as well. ^_^

[gokaired]

okay maybe i should put it in terms that are more simple Japanese live action superhero shows
few examples of tokusatsu
super sentai a.k.a. power rangers
kamen rider
ultraman
metal heroes
cutey honey live
pretty gaurdian salior moon

[Ugly Bob]

Hello, my name's Oliver Surpless and I hope to be a contestant again this year, as Geek Jeopardy is always great fun!

As for categories, I think video games is essential. Others include:

Joss Whedon
Geek Films
Repo the Genetic Opera/Rocky Horror Picture Show
Animation/Classic Animation (US)
Dungeons and Dragons
Star Trek and Star Wars

You might have some fun with Peter Jackson film questions.

[Ugly Bob]

Oh yea on Peter Jackson, especially how his earlier films (the Frighteners) wasn't that great. If it wasn't the more serious Heavenly Creatures, I don't think New Line would have been willing to gamble 200 million on Jackson's vision of Lord of the Rings, but let's be thankful that they did.

Cool ideas so far. ^_^ I'll be working on this for awhile. Keep the ideas coming. ^_^

Also, anyone who hasn't been a contestant before that would like to be? I'd love some fresh meat... I mean new people. ^___^
