I missed the first one, just because I remember reading somewhere that Donkey Kong was a mistranslation of "Monkey Kong." I guess it wasn't, go figure.

88%, the Madden curse barely even rang a bell with me, so I had a 50/50 shot on it.

Spoiler

There's also the fact that I must have misread the question, because the text that's supposed to explain the truth behind the myth backed up my reasoning for answering the way I did, yet I got it wrong because of the amount of time it took for the Madden curse to take effect.

Spoiler: Answer spoiler

I have actually experienced the 'Tetris Effect' first hand. I used to play a lot of a game called In The Groove, I'm talking hours and hours, and afterwards I would find myself mentally coding what moves would be coming up when ever i heard any music and I'd 'see' arrows everywhere. Nice to know I'm not crazy.

100%, surprisingly easy. I thought for sure I got the tetris effect thing wrong, I knew it happened because I've experienced it myself, but I didn't know if it was called the tetris effect, so I took a guess.

 

[Twilight_guy]

63% mostly because I was gullible about a few rumors. I knew a good bunch of them thought.

100% I've got a friend who would always tell me random videogame trivia. Turns out listening was useful.

I always assumed "Tetris Effect" was a joke. Also the Sony/Nintendo thing. Also didn't the Air Force build some sort of supercomputer out of PS3's? I remember it was low on the scale of supercomputers, but extremely cheap by comparison. Their comment about it seemed to suggest they thought it was impossible.

 

[Chamale]

88%, I was wrong about the Saddam Hussein question.

The US has used PlayStation processors for computers - NASA made a supercomputer with thousands of PS2 processors, and the Air Force uses PS3 processors for some of their computers.

Madden Curse and Monkey Kong got me. Saddam Hussein one cracked me up. I had never heard that one before. I would have bet money on Monkey Kong yesterday.
