News The bit-tech & Custom PC Quiz: thanks for coming

I thought the questions were well balanced, bring on the nerdy difficult questions!

 

Awesome, makes me even sadder I couldn't come though.

 

So if it was "3 medium, 2 hard..." are you trying to say you didn't know the Jurassic Park answer?

CLASSIC piece of tragic Hollywood "techie" BS.

I would suggest that TRULY hard would have been to ask what was the storage capacity of Keanu Reeves' head in Johnny Mnemonic (if you know this without looking it up, I salute you!)

 

160GB?

 

Yep, I need to go to the next one.

Can you give me a lift Shirty?

 

Well, I live 220 miles away from you and 100 miles away from London, and you live over 200 miles from London as well so it might not work quite as smoothly as I'd hope...

It'd be an 850 mile round trip to give you a lift there and back

Probably seemed a lot in 1995.

Indeed, a 1GB hard drive was over US$600. Gotta love progress

 

Glad you all enjoyed yourself.

I'd suggest you maybe hold the next one on a Friday or Saturday?

I'd like to try and make the next one, it's quite a distance to travel but I could visit friends I have in London at the same time

 

Being almost 10000 miles away. I think It was wise I didn't make it. But I would've loved it.

 

Team Wheatley's Space Program in the top right photo with me and Edwards in the blue tshirts, me facing away and Edwards looking puzzled ^^

The retro round was pretty hard, but I liked the it as I just ended think WTF a lot. Still don't know how we came 5th....

Do we have a larger picture of the meme board? Those were funny

I think everyone had a really good night.

 

Should have a high-res version in the full article that we'll do next week. I think we have plans to put the best ones up on Facebook as well at some point.

 

Can we host one in Wigan next time?

Oh, wait, all the pubs are utter crap.

 

Really good night and although the questions were stretching, it would be boring if you didn't have to scratch your head a bit. Some good variety in the topics too so the not-so-hardware-oriented people also could join in. Thanks to the team and special shout to Paul as well who made a great effort in speaking to everyone and making us all feel welcome, and Corsair for the swag (even if I didn't get any ).

 

Very true. Easy questions suck!

 

Thanks to all involved for a great event, especially Corsair for kindly donating a ton of snacky kit and also keeping me in pints of Cider all night! . . . a personal thanks from me to Paul Goodhead who couldn't have been more charming and accommodating if he tried, I'd also like to thank Gareth Ogden & Ben Hardwidge for taking the time to have a chatter with an old-school CPC reader, nice guys all . . .

Congratz to the winners, looking forward to the quiz-breakdown . . . Team R.A.G will return! xx

 

A-Mazing night. Favourite round by far was the 'guess the multiplayer map'...... ah... Facing Worlds. So many memories!

Good work Mankz and Longweight! What a team!

 

I really wish I could have come over for it, maybe the next one will warrant a one errand trip and I won't be so busy! I'm glad it went so well, congrats to the bit-tech folks for organising what seems to have been a hugely successful evening!

For the record, I knew the answers to all of the questions that Material listed on the previous page I'd have to think hard about the Retina display one, but the rest I knew!

 

I have no idea how we came second!
