Test your game designer knowledge, impress your friend
Do you know what game Mark Cerny designed? I didn't. I guessed and got it right. But if you're fidgeting in your seat, arm stretched towards the gaming heavens, gulping out, "I do! I do! Ooh me. Ooh, oooh!" then I won't call on you 'cause you're annoying. Instead, I'll direct the entire class towards the latest in our good buddy (we've never met him, we just like him a lot) Patrick Curry's mad dash of weekly game designs: game designer trivia.
"Game Designer Trivia is a very simple game. It asks you to name who designed a certain game, or which game a certain designer created. As you answer correctly you build up points and improve your "batting average." After answering so many questions the game tells you how you're doing. Like I said – a simple trivia game."
It works as promised, although there is a tendency for the routine to repeat questions, or ask the same question inversely. All this did was help maintain my perfect batting average ... now I have to go outside and read a book. Remember kids, winning isn't everything.
