Yeah, the old 'record album' covers with the symbols hidden somewhere in the artwork, people arguing if the sphere was supposed to be the O in Electronic, the animated color changing logo while a game loaded. Also that they weren't generally evil until somewhere around the logo change. *sigh*

I think they had to use o because another UK company was called Electronic Arts.

I was sleeping.

I just prefer tougher questions that take a little longer for an answer to come up - kind of like the last sound clip. I guess they're trying to start easy, but it just makes it so that the first few people that see the post are the only ones who have any real shot.

I do appreciate the scope of this contest though - lots of interesting approaches so far! :)

We have a pool of questions from each of us that are being mixed up so its going to be both easy and hard questions. For questions that I'm doing, I'll see about making the ones that aren't already prepared a little tougher. For instance I could have cropped Ryu's fist a little tighter.

Thanks. :D

No offense to Sevin's first contest or yours, but I know I was kinda sick of looking at screenshots even though I was compelled to play.
