We have a show here called "The Einstein Factor" where people can choose a specialised topic for their first 20 questions, before all three contestants compete over a mix of the three topics to see who will win, with a "brains trust" team against them.

Usually people have personal topics like "World War II", "Belgian Beer", "The Simpsons" or "Jeffrey Archer novels".

I was just watching some guy who's topic tonight is "World Of Warcraft". He's like 30 years old with a ponytail half way down his back, a cheesy arse velvet jacket and spotty skin.

Questions run along the lines of:

Host: What level must an elder mage...(gets cut off)
Geek: 27
Host: Correct

Host: The Elder Scrolls are said to be found in...(gets cut off)
Geek: The Blackwind Forest
Host: Correct

Host: A pantagonian fire spell can only be defea...(gets cut off)
Geek: A level 34 magic missile spell reaved with elven water
Host:...correct.

...and so on and so forth.

Let's just hope the geek doesn't start hyperventilating and pass out when he hits the lead.



COR version: The World of Warcraft player stereotype is COMPLETELY true.

Awesome

I'm actually surprised he could choose WOW as his topic

Is the choice completely free?

Pretty much. I've seen some pretty weird categories.

I wouldn't dare to show my face in public after expressing knowledge of WoW on a TV show. Come to think of it, I wouldn't even dare to show my face in public if i was merely playing WoW.

I'm pretty sure that clip is from a different episode, after reading beat Blog's post I tuned in to tonights (the only advantage of 30 min timezones), and it was a different brains trust.

Tonights must have been some sort of final and that clip from an earlier heat episode.

I didn't actually get to see him on tonight, 2 minutes was enough for me to remind myself why I don't watch that show.

I'm not sure but the episode seems to be for download at http://www.abc.net.au/einsteinfactor/video/

Trying it out right now. Hope it's the right one, at least it shows WoW as a subject in the episode.

How did you dig that up?

I can't believe that kid is only 18! As I said, thought from his voice that he was around 30.
