You both have the top spot, exactly the same score!

I already have them! You are both doing very well.

No. 23 - N-Gage - bah!

Oh yes, not exactly the greatest console in the world. But its exclusives are so obscure and the graphics always misleading, so they are perfect for a last row entry in these quizzes.

Street Fighter 6! I didn't see that one coming.

Haha, I didn't know if anyone was actually waiting for the year-end stuff.

The german forums are done, the english ones are next - I'll start with EAB.

[Havie]

Of course we are waiting...(well I am)!

boooh, why would anyone do such a thing.
I'll join those two users. What IS a cyberdruid anyway?

See, that's why I changed it to TCD

[Havie]

Well done all - top 5 overall!

And extra well done to Nobby who just pips me (again).

I think we have to watch out for that Little Havie next year as he only started mid-way through the year.

Would be interesting to see the average score as (being competitive) sheer weight of numbers counts for a lot!

Massive 'thank you' to Mr H for all his hard work - both Havies really look forward to the quiz each month (it's a long time till February).

Happy Christmas all!

[Nobby_UK]

Well Done All

Defo have to keep an eye on the little one

Let's hope 2023 is better for you. We all still love you!

[Little Havie]

Congratulations to everyone who participated!

And an extra special well done to Nobby!

Merry Christmas!
