  2nd - In second place, with 17.5 points, is "TheOne", my newly-found friend from India. Since the logistics of getting a prize to you would be crazy, for your prize I will do a blog entry about any India/Bollywood/etc.-related topic of your choice.
  1st - And in first place, with a mighty 20.5 points, is "--jeff *". For your prize, I have a brand new DVD of Dr. Seuss's The Grinch Grinches the Cat in the Hat (including the Emmy-nominated The Hoober-Bloob Highway). Congratulations, gentlemen.

Guess That Gun, Part 3

As it stands, here are the current rankings of Guess That Gun:

  TheFormer786 – 11
  RedSteve – 6.5
  Rachel – 2
  Tiff – 4
  Katie – 4.5
  Melinda – 3
  Becca – 9.5
  TheOne (I need to know who you actually are) – 11.5
  cwils33 – 7.5
  Tracy – 1

If you have been playing the previous two rounds of Guess That Gun (located here and here), you no doubt have realized that some of them are fairly easy, while others are a bit more difficult. This has never been truer, as there are some on today's list that nobody should miss, and others that I'd be surprised if more than a few people got. The rules will remain the same, with two additions:
  1) Though the name of the game implies that you should guess which gun is being shown, you only need to say which movie the gun is from. (After all, "Guess Which Movie That Gun Comes From" doesn't have as nice a ring to it.)
  2) Anyone/everyone can enter until 8am, Thursday, January 14th. At that time, I will collect the guesses, show the correct answers, and announce the winners.
Good luck to all in this, the final round.

Guess That Gun, Part 2

It seems the first round of Guess That Gun had a fairly good response. As there might be others who join late in the game, I am not going to reveal the answers to round one just yet. But here are the totals for those who have played. (I'm giving half a point to those who said that a movie was from a series, but didn't specify which movie in the series.)

  TheFormer786 - 6
  RedSteve - 5.5
  Rachel - 2.5
  Anonymous (I need to know who you actually are) - 6
  Tiff - 4.5

All in all, not bad guesses from many of you. Please, keep them coming and tell those you know who would want to play. Before round two starts, let me clarify a few things to help those playing. Firstly, all the screenshots are from movies I own. In other words, if the movie is still in theaters, you can toss it out. Second-of-ly, all the screenshots are from movies, so if you guess a video game, you can also toss it out. And thirdly, anyone can play at anytime. That means if you only discover the game on the last day, you can still guess for previous entries. And if you already guessed for a round, but an idea suddenly springs into your head as to one you missed, feel free to enter.
