There's gotta be some love for the Cyclops (from Seventh Voyage of Sinbad)!

devilshalo

Well at least I got points for my wrong answer. My favorite, Kali, would have gotten no points.

brainee

The rest of the answers were from two movies: Jason and the Argonauts and Clash of the Titans. Which greek mythology monster mash-up did best?

From Jason, we have

Cellar Door

These 'favorite' questions are tough because my favorites are usually not what I think might be sheepiest. So I rarely actually answer with my favorite (which would be the bronze giant for this question).

brainee

Clash of the Titans wasn't Harryhausen's best movie. But it was his last, so maybe it's a bit more familiar to modern audiences.

The Cyclops was the one I initially thought of and what I always think of when i think of Ray Harryhausen, but I figured it wouldn't be sheepy...

brainee

Yeah, that's the thing with these games. Answer with your heart ... or play to win! Though its a real kick in the nads when you overthink it, give an answer you don't believe in, and have your "real" answer be a better answer (like what happened to me for the "best tv show of all time" question in the last tv game).

who doesn't love Bubo...but there was no way i would have remembered his name.

I don't think anything was more beautifully animated than Kali. The intricacy of her movements, the lighting, and the choreography are magical.

If I went with my heart then I probably would have answered Kali too.

Cellar Door

I need to watch that again. Haven't seen it since I was very young.

After finishing dead last (by a sizable margin) in the last game, mortalplague in is first! Can dreams really come true?

4. R: From the Harry Potter series, name someone who worked at Hogwarts (either as faculty or general staff).

brainee

People here seem to know their Potter ... there were only two wrong answers, and a bunch of uniques.

Professor Hogwart: +8
hasslein

A reasonable guess ... albeit a wrong one

Hagreth : +8
Giles

I think I can guess what Giles was stabbing at here. But while I've been forgiving with spelling in this game, this is off enough that it looks like a different name (with me double-checking to make sure there's no Hagreth character anywhere).

brainee

If you were thinking outside the box and picked work elves instead of faculty ...

Some uniques:



Alastor Moody (Defence Against the Dark Arts): -1
rocket1312



Poppy Pomfrey (matron and nurse): -1
Rex Power Colt-Robot Man



Dolores Umbridge (Defence Against the Dark Arts): -1

I fully support Giles getting credit for Hagrid...unless it impacts my score negatively. IN that case I fully support him not getting credit for Hagrid.

brainee

Hagrid, Snape, and Dumbledore are the best known Hogwarts staff members. But sometimes these answers score well at reverse sheep (if picked at all, like we've already seen in this game). Some slams were played here. Will it be a good play, or a bootsy?

5. S: What was the best movie based on Greek mythology?

bunkaroo

Shocking!
