The Word Joystick Says it All

It’s a quiz that only lasts 60 seconds yet has the best of them calling time out. The IT IQ 60 second quiz, hosted by specialist Australian IT job board Jobspeed, has got the questions to make the savviest IT geek crumble. It’s multi-choice heaven with questions ranging from “What is Bill Gates middle name?” to “What MS-DOS command can display hidden files?”

The quiz is accumulated over several weeks with the top 10 players having their names emblazoned on a ‘Wall of Fame’. The end result is winning prizes (and a few IQ brownie points with mates). The first edition of the quiz had prizes like iPhones & iPods, which are great, but the latest array of prizes will bring a tear to almost any geeks eye.

Let’s start with the Atari 2600, complete with instruction manual, all leads, 2 x Atari joysticks, 2 x sets of Atari Paddle joysticks, 2 x Spectravision joysticks, 2 x Keyboard Controllers, an Atari Video Touch Pad plus the following 24 games, all with instruction manuals: WARLORDS, BERZERK, SPACE INVADERS, YARS' REVENGE, CONCENTRATION, VIDEO OLYMPICS, NIGHT DRIVER, CODE BREAKER, VIDEO CHESS, PAC-MAN, 3-D TIC TAC TOE, ASTEROIDS, SLOT RACERS, BRAIN GAMES, AIR SEA BATTLE, VIDEO CHECKERS, COMBAT, PITFALL, GALAXIAN, CROSS FORCE, GANGSTER ALLEY, MASTER BUILDER, CHINA SYNDROME and PLANET PATROL. OMG! I’m getting all misty just writing all these titles. The memories… (I still remember loading SABRE WOLF into the cassette player of my Commodore 64, waiting 10-15 minutes for the game to load, then pressing the left and right arrows frantically to move while whacking the space bar to swing the sword around – great times.) And that’s just one of the prizes, let’s continue with the dual screen Donkey Kong… in orange, 2 vintage Sony Walkmans and a Nintendo Zelda multi-screen. At 32, I’m feeling exceptionally old at the moment, but in a good nostalgic way. I love the fact technology has made these items ‘retro’, and that kids nowadays will never know how much fun we had with these prehistoric toys. I mean, the word joystick says it all.

Have a go at the quiz and, while you’re there, try and win one of these retro prizes. They make it easy for you to stay in the prize hunt if you’ve missed a few weeks as you can go back and play the previous quizzes. There are no excuses. Have a laugh, test your IQ, play an Atari 2600 - you know you want to.

I'll try this out on the golfers out there...?

I posted in the Jokes & Riddles section and someone reported it and I received 2 violations (-20 pts) for this seemingly innocuous joke...see what you think..( I'll shorten it a little)
A man was having a round of golf by himself when a pretty young girl asked if she could join him. He agreed. They had a good round but she beat him by two holes. Before leaving she took him into the bushes and gave him a BJ as thanks for the game. They arranged another game the next day. The same thing happened, she beat him by one or two holes then 'thanked' him at the end. This carried on all week...a good round, she wins by 1/2 holes and then the BJ.
At the end of the week she tells him that she's enjoyed their rounds but that she feels rather guilty about deceiving him.
She admitted that she was a she-male, a transexual.
The man went berzerk..."WHAT...YOU... YOU ...I'm disgusted...how COULD you deceive me like that????

You should get 20 points for telling that one...hell of a joke I might say.

Fact No. 2: Despite the economy, 2009 was a great year for new projects in Downtown Los Angeles, with the debut of dozens of developments, including several that forever changed ...
