THE 2000AD ADVENT CALENDAR 2010!

[Dog Deever]

Mines late too and a bit rushed- sorry!


MERRY XMAS ALL!

[SuperSurfer]

Wow. So much amazing stuff. This is as far as I got with mine. (This is not me up early, it's me up late). If you never hear from me again it's because I have been struck down by lightning for this. Merry Xmas.

[Pete Wells]

Amazing work guys, the Advent Calendar certainly finished on a high!

Grud bless us, everyone!

[IAMTHESYSTEM]

Amazing stuff and very cheering to those of us laid low by Flu!

Dog Deever's Southern Bastard's is a classic.

Merry Christmas to everyone on the forums.

[Kerrin]

                                  HAPPY CHRISTMAS...PARP

Fantastic Woolly.
Looks great and may come in useful NeilFord.
Nice one, Peter. Good to see you got it finished.
Horrifyingly brilliant, flip.
Very cool, Deever.
Great to see it finished, SuperSurfer.
Good one, Kerrin.

[Darren Stephens]

Kerrin, I nearly choked on my malteseres at that! 

[JayzusB.Christ]

My final contribution to this calender, as it's been absolutely brilliant... In honour of all the excellent work put in by everyone, and the kind comments from everyone else:
Merry Christmas, and I'm toasting all your health(s?) with a long-held ambition, a Piston Broke! (See this for details.)





Verdict: For a turps-nudgers' drink, it's actually ok! Merrrrry ffffuggin' Chrizzmazzzz! Hic

[johnnystress]

Cheers Brian! Rocking a great xmas jumper there

[JayzusB.Christ]

 
My youth has finally rolled over and died forever.

[Kerrin]

Whoa, yeah, nice jumper Jayzus!

That Piston Broke looks evil, FOUR measures of booze topped up with stout?! JAYZUS CHRIST!

[JayzusB.Christ]

Have to admit it's only about three shots and the Guinness, I pussed out by a third.

[Pete Wells]

Hey guys, I gotta go and vist some relatives for a coupla days. The unplugged Advent thread will be done when I get back.

Apologies, it'll be up before New Years Eve.

SPOT THE THRILL - THE RESULTS!

The red-wine hangover has just about subsided enough that looking at a screen doesn't actually hurt, so here are the full results, and mighty impressive they were. I awarded quite a few half points, e.g. for spotting the Dredds but not the story.

In 8th place, notwithstanding the effects of alcohol and a noble refusal to cheat by looking anything up, was Exilewood with a still very respectable 68.5 (including a half for "The sheep thing. inspector baa something. OH FUCK. What was it called?" In 7th place, it's the Paisley Penpusher himself, Buttonman with 73.5, closely followed by Albion on 74 and Kerrin with 76

I didn't expect anyone to get more than 90% but amazingly the top four all achieved it. In fourth place and just outside the medal table is Greg M with an impressive 92. And now mounting the podium to be sprayed with champagne are.... *drum roll please*...

In third place, step forward Colin YNWA with a stunning 97.5!

Taking the silver medal (if I was actually giving out medals, which I'm not) is flip-r mk2 with a near-perfect 98.

But the winner with a mind blowing score of 99.5 out of 100, is our new King Geek
CRAVENOIR!
Even more impressive, he included the prog numbers, for which I almost awarded an extra point, but that would have made the score more than 100% which I couldn't allow! I was forced to be super pedantic and only award half a point for SOUL GUN ASSASSIN as the correct answer was SOUL GUN WARRIOR, but the rest was perfect. If Cravenior PMs me his name and address, I'll get that page of Macneil loveliness in the post to him.

[Greg M.]

Congratulations to the big three medal winners, and especially Cravenoir for his frankly astonishing grasp of thrill-lore. And may I lead the forum in a round of applause for Dandontdare, both for his fiendish ingenuity in coming up with such a brilliant quiz and his clear generosity in terms of prize-giving. Jolly good show all round, chaps!

(On a personal note, I am amazed I beat the 90% barrier. Assumed I would be around 80%. Bloody number 21 though... Pussyfoot 5! I might've known...)
