Last night I played trivia at an event put on by Electronic Arts. It pitted the cream of Australia’s gaming cognoscenti in a battle of, well, pretty useless knowledge, to be honest.
We were split into teams of four or five, so I joined up with three of the lads from IGN. Officially we were known as IGNotaku; unofficially, however, we quickly adopted the title Team Awesome.
Pre-tournament favourites Gamespot fell at the first hurdle as we finished the first round tied in first place with Good Game. Ausgamers clawed back our lead thanks to some bonus points during the celebrity head round that followed.
Through rounds three and four we remained neck and neck, meaning it all came down to a one question “who am I?” tie-breaker. IGN’s Patrick Kolan kept his cool to correctly answer Master Chief and we won.
A winner is Team Awesome.
