Well done.

strawberry float off, stop being a dick. The question was a fuck-up but why do you have to be such a bell-end to person who's running this contest in his spare time? Also, if this wasn't involving Dala or you then you wouldn't be kicking up as much of a fuss.

I'm kicking up a fuss because he strawberry floated up and now the contest has completely changed hands of who's got the advantage. I'd be doing the same if it was anyone.

This is worse than the MSL finals when Jaedong was awarded the strawberry floating game after the powercut.

Tense now, after looking like Dala would walk it.

StayDead, save your criticism until after the final, especially if it is directed at DML.

My stuff about drugs and anal has all been a joke and a wind-up since I was eliminated (I hope DML realises this). I have criticisms but will leave them.

I would say "turn the other cheek", but it might be misconstrued.

Staydead, didn't want to get involved with this until afterwards but what the hell.

The Atari 3DO doesn't exist. It's two consoles merged into one. I thought it was a trick question and therefore false - which is why I went for false. Dala posted his answer before me and if he'd have guessed the other way he'd have won the point and the contest overall.

It's true, Dan is entirely correct in his answer of false when we put it in the light of 'the console doesn't exist'.

Well if thats how you feel Dan, I will have to find another Atari question.

I am human, I made a mistake.

I will reask the Atari question when I've got one ready. This will be the next question asked.

If Dala doesn't get it right, we continue as normal, otherwise he is Games Guru.

This next question will be answered in the thread.

Good luck gents.

That would be correct if DML said that not that it cost $699 i.e. the price of the Panasonic 3DO.

Wait a second :lol:

I was arguing that I won the point legitimately because I got the question right. I answered the question as it was asked, and I got the answer right. It is false that the Atari 3DO retailed at that starting price point, because the Atari 3DO didn't retail at all.

Does that make sense?

Can we scale this right back, as I have just realised that anal has never appeared in a Legend of Zelda game?

Unless that's what "Zelda's Lullaby" is slang for? I.E. she falls asleep right after it...

StayDead: It's just the way you come across. All sarcastic and laying into someone who made an error and now is faced with a really tough call either way. People make mistakes, get over it.

StayDead has done his best to strawberry float this up just so he can get to feel momentarily superior to someone who made a mistake

That would only be correct if DML said that the answer was "False, the Atari 3DO never existed". He said "False, it was $699, not $399.99".
