Revenant's Geektacular quiz thread!

A quiz of all things geeky, nerdy, and so on. Feel free to add your own questions. What am I referring to?

  1. A simple one to start with; name for me that yellow amp-producing rodent.
  2. Will he go and fetch me that athelas, already?
  3. Hey, a cute goth girl wearing an ankh. Should I go talk to her?
  4. Of course, another universe’s version of this character is also associated with an Ankh. He might drown me out a bit, though.
  5. And i’m sure I don’t want to speak to those cerulean-gloved fellows.
  6. Fnord.
  7. What abo-… Hey! She’s taken all our Materia!
  8. I knew giving her Weapon Finesse was a bad idea.
  9. Courage and Power seem to fit, but for a girl with Wisdom she sure gets kidnapped a lot.
  10. And she’s probably in another castle anyway.
  11. Executor, Iron Fist, Night Hammer - do these things just keep getting bigger?
  12. Einstein’s a smart guy, but taking out a certain guy doesn’t necessarily make things better.
  13. A powerful bit of jewellery, there. But it doesn’t stand a chance against this banana.
  14. Or Mr. Flibble. Because he’s very cross.
  15. I’m not sure why, but when i’m happy it’s almost as if I have a big glowing halo above me…
  16. It is… green.
  17. As is my new helmet, which apparently she doesn’t like living in. Wouldn’t want her going Rampant, I guess.
  18. I suppose I could always send her to the HAL Institute for Criminally Insane R-… well, I wouldn’t want to give too much away. A two-pointer!

Tell me if I’m getting too clever for my own good here…

  1. A simple one to start with; name for me that yellow amp-producing rodent.

Pika? Chu!

  1. Hey, a cute goth girl wearing an ankh. Should I go talk to her?

Couldn’t hurt. Death of the Endless is not going to go away if you ignore her, and at least you can have a pleasant conversation, first. Assuming she’s there to collect you, and not just on her once-a-century day off, or hanging around waiting for someone else.

  1. Of course, another universe’s version of this character is also associated with an Ankh. He might drown me out a bit, though.

THE DISCWORLD DEATH WON’T GO AWAY EITHER.

  1. And i’m sure I don’t want to speak to those cerulean-gloved fellows.

Neither do the crew of the Firefly class ship the Serenity.

  1. What abo-… Hey! She’s taken all our Materia!

Yuffie’s a bitch like that.

  1. Courage and Power seem to fit, but for a girl with Wisdom she sure gets kidnapped a lot.

Princess Zelda takes offense. Prepare to face the wrath of Link.

  1. And she’s probably in another castle anyway.

So does Princess Toadstool, and Mario’s already on a ledge above you.

  1. Or Mr. Flibble. Because he’s very cross.

I can’t think of anything witty here…it’s really hard to outfunny Arnold Rimmer in a gingham dress, and talking to a sock puppet.

  1. It is… green.

And Lt. Data is serving it to Captain Scott.

  1. Will he go and fetch me that athelas, already?

Frodo / Aragorn after Frodo’s been stabbed with the Morgul-knife

  1. I knew giving her Weapon Finesse was a bad idea.

  2. Executor, Iron Fist, Night Hammer - do these things just keep getting bigger?

Starships in the Star Wars universe. Penis enhancers for the Empire.

  1. Einstein’s a smart guy, but taking out a certain guy doesn’t necessarily make things better.

Red Alert! Red Alert!

  1. A powerful bit of jewellery, there. But it doesn’t stand a chance against this banana.

Ook?

4

For 18: Didn’t Bender and Fry get sent to the HAL institute for Criminally Insane Robots?

Cause that’s the only one I think I know.

5

But only after Lt. Commander Scott served it to Tomar.

1: Pikachu
2: As mentioned, Sam in the movies, Aragorn in the books, or some juxtaposition of the two.
3: Death always has time for you.
4: Gief more pork, plz.
5: Bye bye, Blue sun . . .
7: Goddamnit, Yuffie.
8: Damnit, Neeshka? (Neverwinter Nights 2?)
9: Zelda? Where the hell are you now?
10: It’s 'a mi, Mario!
11: Star-Wars X-Wing series reference. The sad thing is I could tell you the owner, ship class and timeline of each of those :expressionless:
12: Aaah, it is done. Hitler is . . . no more. [Queue: Hell March]
13: Ook? Ook.
14: Alright, fess up! Who painted the dwarf red?!
15: Ta-ta-tamagochi?
16: And with vitamins! All your body needs! Made from . . . er . . . Natural ingredients?
17: Hi, CORTANA!
18: Do they have stuff to, er, bend, there?

Not sure how much of this is correct, but I can think of alternatives for most of the ones I’m unsure about :slight_smile:

Tengu - All right! So that’s nine.

Quartz - Half for 2, since it’s the right series but not the book I was thinking of. No to 13, i’m afraid. 2.5.

**Captain_C ** - They certainly did! That’s a point.

cckerberos gets a point also for pointing out what the reference was originally referring to.

**Gukumatz ** - No to 4, 13, 15, and possibly 16 although it sounds like it might be right. Another half for 2, since i’m thinking of a specific scene. Yes to 1, 3, 5, 7, 8 (though I was just going for the general universe), 9, 10, 11, 12, 14, 17 and 18. So 12.5, the current winner.
