dare i ask how many rounds there'll be?

I haven't really decided yet. It all depends on if I decide to revive the Crap Shack Trivia Challenge for a third go. It also depends on how popular this one is. If lots of people participate and I see there's a high interest in it, then I will keep it going as long as possible.

 

Also just FYI, it's the last week of school at FIU, and cuz of that, work has been crazy for me (all those students need protecting you know), so I will try to post the Round 6 questions as soon as I can, but probably it will be on by Monday at the latest.

What do you think I did? Mother of god, I went through a fuckton of RPGs trying to figure it out. Gah. To be fair I'd never even heard of that one before. Still, you got a cockpunch coming.

This question i found to be to vague, given wizardy the series had about 10 games to it, and kings quest about 8/9

For future reference, unless I otherwise specify, if I mention a game that has no number after it (like II, III, etc), then it should be presumed it is the first game of the series (i.e. Wizardry I, King's Quest I, etc.)
