D3f3nd3r: More specific, please.

Out of "Whose Line is it Anyway" I hope?

I half-expected that.

Goddamn second-guessing...

D3f3nd3r:

That's

what we wanted.

And I'll save text and tell the rest of you that responded that you're all right!

Remaining questions (for Save The Dragons, Blackberry, and Titus respectively):

6: Which king of England came to power as a result of the Norman conquest of England?
10: The New Deal came was a series of domestic programs enacted under which American president?
11: Which website started as a research project called "BackRub?"

I was confused since I've watched a

ton

of the remake, but I only recognized one of the three games. Never watched the original...I probably should.

The original is far better than the American version.

D3f3nd3r · Post Post #433 (ISO) » Mon Mar 02, 2015 3:08 pm

The American original version. There was an older American version with the same actors.

Nobody Special · Post Post #434 (ISO) » Mon Mar 02, 2015 4:13 pm

(sigh) The

British version

is far better than

any

American version.

bad. You have to admit that Drew Carey made a valiant effort.

Aaaand I'm calling time there.

Save the Dragons: William the Conqueror was the name we wanted that time.

As for the other two questions... Franklin D. Roosevelt initiated the New Deal, and "BackRub" eventually became... Google!

Not_Mafia: *ding ding ding ding ding!*
Save The Dragons: Would you believe me if I told you that you were right? "Current" is the operative word in the question, back then, of course, they were just mailing out DVDs.
Mitillos: Yes indeed.
D3f3nd3r: It's right either way.
ForWhomTheJellyRolls: Nope, sorry. It's Chinese.
