Gaming

I originally tried posting this to /r/metalgearsolid weeks ago, but it got caught in spam so I'm trying again here!

A couple months ago, I had the idea to create a Metal Gear trivia game for my friends who have no knowledge of Metal Gear. Why? I figured it would be funny to throw them in the deep end and teach them about cyborg ninjas and rollerskating bombers. We finally ran it a few days ago and it went surprisingly well.

In case anyone thinks it sounds like fun and wants to run the game for their friends, I've uploaded the materials to https://github.com/ngffy/mgs. There's a big long readme explaining details of the game and setup that I won't repeat here, but the gist is that teams get a 10 page packet of Metal Gear trivia and a presentation with questions that you need the packet to answer. (Most of) the questions are written to be answerable without any knowledge outside of the packet. Check the readme for way, way, way more details. I tried to make the game sort of complicated to mimic the series. The game involves answering questions, doing impressions of Snake, karaoke, and there's even a (very) small online component.
