Ladies and Gents, it's Wednesday again and that can really only mean one thing; Quiz Day. With all of the turkey and pie (and other such foodstuffs) filling my festive belly, I thought to myself, "Drew, everything is so crazy and hectic right now, why don't you write a quiz on a game you're currently playing?".

Q: Rounding out the quiz this week, I'll leave you with a little guessing game about me, the writer. What, in my personal opinion, is the one complaint that a lot of DC Fans have about this game that I believe just isn't that big of a deal? Yeah, it's a complete random guess, but I wish you all the best of luck. Oh, and BONUS POINTS! Which DC Character is my favorite? Hint: They're mentioned in the answer of one of these questions.
Answer
- The Green Lantern thing. Yes, I love the Green Lantern. Hal Jordan and Guy Gardner hold big parts of my "I like these characters" list. I love the sprawling, epic world that Geoff Johns helped create. I love the spectacle of it all, the space opera feel. But, in the end, they (or even just Hal specifically) would've been wrong for this game at launch. One of the biggest reasons why I hope for DCUO to have success is so that I, and collectively, all Green Lantern fans, can see that expansion pack. Owa. The Lantern universe is big enough to constitute its own game, and if you're going to do something like that, do it right.
Bonus Point: As a comic nerd, I was happy to put this question in. My favorite DC Character is actually Mr. Location Kiosk himself, one Booster Gold.
HIDE Answer
Anyway, that's the end of the quiz this week for me. I hope you enjoyed another game-specific quiz. Got any suggestions for categories in the future? Feel free to let me know in the comments.
