Well, there are no answer sheets to these riddles, but consensus on the internet seems to be Scribblenauts or Street Fighter: The Third Strike

I have the other one as well, just thought I'd portion it out a bit.

Dangit... someone needs to get 3C. I have no clue and it's starting to bother me.

Slothy
03-01-2011, 03:16 PM
3C has been bugging me as well. I feel like I should know it but just can't make the mental leap required to figure it out apparently.

I cracked on 1A and B though and looked at your answers Yearg. Never would have gotten 1A since I've never heard of it (or at least wouldn't have known I got it) and was foiled on 1B because it's so hard to read apparently. Had no idea what it was supposed to say.

Edited in two more I did get though.

Yeargdribble
03-01-2011, 03:37 PM
To be fair, I've only played a handful of these, but I'm familiar with lots of titles even if I don't know crap about the game. I couldn't even tell you what type of gamer Killer 7 is. I just have heard the title and it came to mind.

My guess on 3C is that it's just something I've never heard of. Something to do with blackness/darkness and time or maybe afternoon. I can't imagine the significance of the specific time and I would've assigned significance to the numbers if not for the PM.

Levian
03-01-2011, 04:01 PM
Consensus on the internet is that 3C is most likely: Disgaea: Afternoon of Darkness

So yeah, you were definitely on the right track, Yearg. :D

and Yearg's answers now double as the answer sheet for this quiz! They're all on the other answer sheets I've seen.

Slothy
03-01-2011, 04:03 PM
I haven't played a solid chunk of the ones I did get either, but I am familiar with a lot of titles. I finally cracked and looked at everyone's answers though, and aside from some of the more obvious ones in retrospect that I was missing like Megaman, Killer 7, Little Big Planet, etc. I wasn't familiar enough with the others to have ever figured them out. Mostly talking about Lost in Blue, Altered Beast, and whatever the hell 5F is supposed to be.

As for 3C, my brain was kind of running down the same lines of thought, mostly focusing on the fact that at 4:53pm it should still be light out in most places but there's darkness around it. Maybe something to do with night. Really have no idea, and now my brain has gotten stuck on the dark hour in Persona 3 and I can't seem to get off of that because I'm 99.9% sure that'd be wrong.

EDIT: Damn you and your beating me to the post Levian.

Bah. Never heard of it... had to Google. I've heard of Disgaea, but I guess I wasn't familiar with the subtitle.

Vyk
03-01-2011, 06:07 PM
Huh, well, I still would have never guessed that one. But Third Strike did come to mind for the other one. But I figured titles were more important than subtitles. But if that's the case, it opens up a whole new venue for my mind to work in

I could see how someone would think Third Strike even though it didn't come to mind for me. I just noticed that the 0s were (almost imperceptibly) less rigidly font-like. Also, if it were Third Strike I would think they would need to highlight the third one somehow lest it be Three Strikes.

Levian
03-01-2011, 06:24 PM
Yeah, I'm thinking Scribblenauts is more likely as well. All the other numbers and letters in the quiz are made with the some computer-y font (Arial?) and the zeroes in 3C are handwritten. Everything has a meaning in this quiz, it can't be a coincidence. :]

Here's part 2!

03-01-2011, 07:28 PM
I was desperate enough that I figured out a way to do it. I check the page source and then told imgur to upload from web and CP'd your PB to imgur.

Now I'll see what I can figure out.



1A - One Must Fall
1B - Call of Duty: World at War ?
1C - Medal of Honor
1D - Goldeneye
1E - Dig Dug
1F - Counterstrike (not sure, but I stopped trying to make the numbers fit)

2A - Audiosurf (took a while, but was "duh" when I realized it.)
2B - Pokemon
2C - Perfect Dark (another "duh")
2D - Soul Caliber
2E - Gears of War
2F - Dead Space ?

3A - Animal Crossing
3B - Uncharted
3C - Shadow of the Colossus
3D - Time Crisis
3E -
3F - Metroid Prime (Echoes? WTF with the misspelling?)

4A - Wipeout (I spent too long thing this had to do with being out of focus or something)
4B - Morrowind (Is that a cloud or wind on tomorrow? Maybe I'm trying too hard)
4C - Torchlight
4D - Army of Two
4E - Borderlands
4F - Midnight Club (another "duh")

5A - Bayonetta
5B - Heavy rain
5C - Just Cause (lol)
5D - Dark Sector
5E - Starcraft (can't tell if their are little landmines or stars... pretty sure it's stars)
5F - SWAT 4 (but these are swatters and one is facing a weird direction. Am I missing something?

6A - Far Cry
6B - Red Faction
6C - Centipede
6D - Bomberman 2 ?
6E - (If this one is Portal I'll be disappointed at the maker)
6F -


EDIT: It's distracting to do at work. I also agree that there's something less on the nose about this one than the last.

EDIT2: This is making my work day awesome.

EDIT3: Please tell me there are more... and someone answer the rest of them. I got frustrated and looked at Rant's and it filled no holes for me (but did make me question a few).

Half Life or Half Life 2, Odin Sphere Left 4 Dead, Lost in Blue, Area 51, Chrono Cross, Elite Beat Agents, Assassin's Creed, Golden Axe, Dead Rising, Star Ocean, The Orange Box???, Little Big Planet, Double Dragon, Ultima???, Dance Dance Revolution, Rainbow Six, Silent Hill, Neverwinter Nights, F-Zero.

6A)Farcry
6B)Red Faction
6C)Centipede
6D)Bomberman
6E)Portal
6F)Portal 2? Honestly not sure if 6E&F are supposed to be one game or a clever way of including the sequel.

Some of them are tricky, and it may be a little trickier overall than last time, but I still think I'm doing much better on this one.

Mg and Ti are Magnesium and Titanium. Which are metals. And these metals are in honor. Metal in honor. Medal of Honor. That's how I did it

I went ahead and looked at everyone's answers for the ones I'm missing, I wouldn't have gotten most of them anyway. But for the last two, if they're related, I'm wondering why the last one looks drawn. It just looks like a weird "C" drawn on

Levian
03-01-2011, 10:41 PM
Again, Yeargdribble is spot on with all his answers! Fill out his blanks with Vivi22's answers and we've got a full set of answers for the second puzzle board.

AFAIK, there are no more of these types of puzzles. Shame, huh? :(

Magnesium and Titanium are Metals... hence Medal of Honor, though the way they are inlaid would make be think it was Honor of Metal as it implies that the word Honor is constructed from the elements, but I just went with it since this quiz seems a little less consistent anyway.



And I seem to have gotten 5E wrong - I didn't look closely enough.

I originally thought minecraft and was debating. Due to the picture quality they kinda look just as much like landmines as they look like stars.





EDIT: I was looking for answers to the 2nd one (seriously, unsatisfied with 6E/F) and I found this one apparently made by reddit folks.

Saints Row? The first line clearly states 'Agnes paddles'. Paddling is completely different from rowing in equipment, physiology, logistics and organizational structure. In no way will I allow paddlings good name to be defamed by going under the umbrealla of rowing!
