Pop Quiz Scavenger hunt

[David Beebe]

So I'm going to ask some random questions, and you all get to answer and quote the sources from our website. (links, speculations and quotes from me about Flying pigs who fight facists (http://www.tiltedmill.com/forums/showthread.php?t=6633&page=1&pp=20&highlight=poco+rosso) don't count as real sources...


I reserve the right to consider the possibility of entertaining the notion of awarding a prize.

that is... if people are interested?

I'll try to keep time zones in mind... :D

[dreamsoftwilight]

I never watched Porco Rosso, but Im such a fan-girl (lol) for Miyazaki's movies. And I shall attempt your scavenger hunt as well.

[Thucydides]

Porco Russo is an absolute must and I can highly recommend it. I assume it is in English as well. One of my other favourite anime movies is 'Ghost in the Shell' (albeit in a completely different style).

[arcan]

I've watch a few of miyasaki lately. Porco rosso is a must. But I prefered Nausicaa. :rolleyes:

[dreamsoftwilight]

I refuse to watch anime (unless its on Adult Swim) In english... mainly because they get some of the worst voice actors, and then completely screw up the dialogue... That and I like hearing people speak in Japanese. But anyway...

Howls Moving Castle and Spirited Away were two of Miyazaki's best movies, ever. Nausicaa, I have that on DVD, but the manga is 10 times better (because its longer).

[sitearm]

This thread seems to be on a tangent but wth... just watched Spirited Away last night vetting it for my daughter for this weekend. It's fantastic and the English version has superb voice characterizations. Don't know if can get Japanese version here or not. I love Kung Fu Hustle and Shaolin Soccer in Chinese with English subtitles. I swear I'll pick up that intonation yet! :rolleyes:

[Thucydides]

... just watched Spirited Away [/i]

I havn't watched that yet, and will now keep an eye out for it. Thanks :)

[Matt Zimmitti]

Cat :D

Heh, tell me about it :confused:
David should wear a bowler hat with a big ? on it.

[dreamsoftwilight]

All anime on DVD have japanese audio options, and english subtitles. You just have to turn them on... not sure how to do it on a dvd player since I watch all my movies on my computer. hehe

It's been a while since the beta... Was it the luxury shops? :rolleyes:

A FAQ quote just for the sake of quoting ;) :
Establish efficient chains of production to ensure that raw materials are processed into commodities for your citizens and for trade.

[vic_4]

Question 2

Answer: David is going to have to use an orderly layout ot his cities, instead of you a spraypaint tool and tossing shops and houses around the map willy-nilly. hehe :D

What's does it say on Caesar's sunglasses?

Impressions

Yes, indeed. Though my imagination says that it's "Impressions" that's on the side of the sunglasses.

[sitearm]

Carefully place roads to connect buildings and people to one another...

Facilitate city growth by... placing homes in desirable locations.

(from FAQ - General)

... creating road networks to facilitate the distribution of resources, and to provide homes access to entertainment venues, healthcare facilities, fire protection services, and so on.
