  • 7/10 + Bonus! I love Replay and Super Replay. I started watching soon after it started, when I saw they did Superman 64 and I had heard about how bad it was so I wanted to see for myself. It was really bad. And I have been addicted ever since. :)

  • I got all of them. Cool quiz.
  • Mod
    hahaha, pretty neat idea Tim, great job!
  • 8/10 correct. Awesome quiz!

  • Just a correction, but Jason Oestreicher is the guy behind Replay and Super Replay. He oversees each and every recording and then edits it himself. Ben does the filming of the people in the flesh and other editing stuff. But otherwise, this was great! I got 8 + bonus question out of 10! :D
  • i got 6/10. Not too good, but not too bad either. I have to say, I don't really pay much attention to the editors key details. Just their blogs and news. Although I should. I mean I get their magazines every month !

  • I got 9/10, not including the bonus question! I spend too much time on this site!!

  • I think I got them all right, except the bonus since I changed my answer. Also, you listed the answer to number 7 as D, which isn't an option. Unless I'm mistaken, the correct answer is A and Matt Helgeson is also a father. Fun quiz though! Thanks for sharing!
  • I never knew that Ben Reeves was a twin.

    Cool blog though.
