Last night, I took part in the first beta episode of 1 vs 100 on Live. That game is great! Very addictive. I found myself yelling at the tv a few times when the One was asked to choose Money or the Mob. "Mob! Pick Mob you son of a ****! Don't be a coward!"
As it is still in beta, there were some quirks here and there that still need to be worked out...
- I was kicked back to the lobby once between rounds.
- See way too many duplicate avatars standing side by side.
- The livehost missed some of his cues.
There were also some clowns who purposefully did bad at the game just so they could see their name on the mid-round leaderboards. How does that work, you ask? There are mid round leaders for a variety of categories, one of which is average answer time. So some **** were sitting there pounding X as fast as they could for every question just to get a quick answer regardless of whether it was the correct one.
The game's strongest point is the questions, which is a good thing for a trivia game. I really liked the way they threw in a the occasional trick question. Example:
At what temperature does water freeze? Easy right? Well, almost half the people got it wrong. The first answer that appeared was 32 deg C. People saw the 32 and quickly answered to get the time bonus. As soon as that answer popped up, I just laughed in anticipation of the number of people who fell for it.
