I just did this quiz on Sporcle.
How the fuck do so few people know who Gordon Freeman is?
What do you find people to be sinfully ignorant of?

Was he the guy in Theme Hospital?

Who is gordon freeman?

I find people to be sinfully ignorant of everything that I think is really important.

Gordon Freeman is mentioned once in that entire page
Apparently he "re-lives his action"

Is he Bill Murray in Groundhog Day?

He's not in any of the Zelda games.

it was short and too easy,
but it was well made and an interesting concept, i'd like to see it made into a full length game

option 1: you were rubbish at it.
option 2: you say things you don't mean because you like to disagree with people of the internet which makes you a cunt.

which is it?
(I helped save b3ta! manolith hooray for me, Thu 2 Jul 2009, 14:48, archived)
option 3
It just didn't appeal to me, played it for a bit got bored.
(I helped save b3ta! M o D, Thu 2 Jul 2009, 14:56, archived)
no, there are only 2 options
you don't get to make up an imaginary third one

i'm putting you down as option 2

They've got quite a lot of gaming quizzes on there, though.
Mind you, 3% of people on there have apparently never heard of Homer Simpson.

Not everyone is a gaming geek.
I wouldn't know who he was if I wasn't going out with Double F.

Mind you, I get wound up when someone famous died and people go 'who?' The worst case of this was when John Peel died. I worked with a load of people who hadn't a clue who he was. There was an awful lot of facepalming that day.

I'd never heard of John Peel until he died.

I didn't know who he was,
but then I had just turned 16 when he died and I don't listen to the radio.
(I helped save b3ta! Malchick, Thu 2 Jul 2009, 14:23, archived)
Yes, but you'd think that people taking a "guess the game from the characters" quiz would know who he was.
Twice as many people were familiar with Final Fantasy characters, for example.

It's quite simple really
You don't have to read endless speech bubbles saying "Cloud Strife" on them in Half-Life λ

Haha...I just saw this on Metacritic, of Deus Ex:

"Every time your character is killed and you restart the game, you have to sit through a seemingly endless series of movies that re-establish the plot."

I love that it's written by someone who has clearly never heard of saving the game or skipping cutscenes before.
