What do nerds love more than to correct each other and show they know more about a topic than anyone else?

I've seen videos of this and I think it could work as a fun little forum game. Like other forum games, it counts on people not immediately googling the answer for it to work. Here's how you play it:

- Someone makes a partly factual statement, and everyone else tries to figure out what's wrong about it and correct them. Whoever gets it right then posts the next statement.

- For it to count your answer must begin with "Um, actually"

- If multiple answers are posted at once, the most correct and pedantic one is the winner.

I'll start:

"In the cantina scene of A New Hope we hear a fictional genre of music called Jizz. Known Jizz bands of the Star Wars universe include Figrin D'an and the Modal Nodes, Evar Orbus and His Galactic Jizz-Wailers and Bobolo Baker's Jizz Explosion."

I know what's wrong with it but I don't feel like going next. :P

You scare me.

Huh?

I thought I was a nerd but the only answer I could come up with was "Um, actually I'll take your word for it". I didn't think the earth was roamed by people who would actually be able to confirm/infirm that OP quote.

There's no penalty for taking a wild guess, which I assume we'll be seeing a lot of. It's almost half the fun I think.

Um, actually, a jizz explosion is like a sneeze, only better. But certainly not a band.

Correct. The band's real name is Bobolo Baker's All-Bith Band, everything else was true though. Your turn.

You also failed to correctly punctuate "Star Wars" and "A New Hope". Those are titles.

Star Wars is also not true, and is in fact a fictional story, but I guess you're just not attentive enough to notice that particular detail.

WAIT!!!

SHIT!

I'm SO SORRY!

Seriously DaCosta, I am so sorry. You were looking for facts and I went grammar. I am such a dickhead. My bad times 1000 there.

Well, I did say "The band's real name is Bobolo Baker's All-Bith Band, everything else was true though", but Star Wars isn't based on a true story, so if you really wanted to be pedantic, you could have called me out on that.

Now I just wanna see if Tallima will post something.

I think what I should have done is read your OP more closely and then kept my mouth shut. :P

Back to the game though. Now that I got my head out of my ass, this could actually be fun. :D

What, no love for the Max Rebo Band?

If the English Anglo-Saxon army hadn't had to march north and fight the Swedes first at Stanford Bridge, they could have easily beaten the French at Hastings.
