- July 31, 2024, 11:51 p.m. Popquiz 8: The Power of Friendship: We attended the Pop Quiz 8th anniversary quiz night at Int/Ext, themed around friendship. This was originally supposed to be scheduled last Wednesday and was a two-part event with the Deadpool and Wolverine screening I attended last week, but the quiz night had to be pushed due to weather problems. Attendance: Me, C, S, DJ+2. Seven main rounds this time, plus the Hail Mary. For their anniversary quiz, they have the "choose your own adventure" mechanic where for EVERY QUESTION the teams would vote to pick among four subcategories: People/Characters, Events, Places, or Things/Creatures. This meant the quiz ran much
- July 14, 2024, 2:41 p.m. Don Conejos Quiz Night #4: Last Wednesday, quiz host Jason said he was hosting at Don Conejos again the next day. A bit last minute, but I wanted to get out of the house to do something enjoyable after an exhausting past few days, so I asked the team to go. This night's categories and our scores were (I was unable to note all the misleading category names): movies with numbers in title - 10pts anatomy - 6pts "The China Crisis" -> china - 9pts voice actors - 7pts "Real Steel" -> superman - 5pts: even though I'm a comics guy, this round was a

In Iron Fist #73 (Oct 2017), Danny has Shou-Lao in a hidden dragon den in his condo building, feeding him cows. I don't know how/why Shou-Lao got there?!? The last thing I remember is that at the end of Iron Fist: The Living Weapon #12 (May 2015), Pei brought back all 66 previous versions of Shou-Lao, and Luke and Danny say they'll handle it, but I don't think them handling the dragons was ever shown anywhere either?!? Pei's story continues in Immortal Iron Fists #1, but there's
- June 27, 2024, 11:51 p.m. Popquiz: Rainbow Party: We attended Pop Quiz again at Int/Ext, this time with the Rainbow theme for Pride Month. They were away for a couple of months because the host had a health scare, but apparently we are back in business. Attendance: Me, C, S, Kim, Dan. This quiz night's rounds were rainbow-themed, with one color per round (skipping Indigo). They're mostly general knowledge questions except each themed around a color, so choosing a power-up round was a crapshoot. Here's how we did: Red - 7pts Orange - 9pts x2 for successful ace. We got the ace answer at the very last question,
