Nice third place after being very consistent. In theory I should have my best round now, but I think being a gamer actually makes my chances of scoring well go down

I'm with stupid 2021.3: Round 5
Gaming
The final round. jseadog1 leads by eleven points, is anyone able to make up the difference? We lost two players and two others went for a five-pointer, so the scores are lower than previous rounds, which should be in his advantage. On the other hand, if baseballlover312 has a perfect round and jseadog1 has a shocker, we might be in for a historic comeback!
1. Name a video game console.
None of you like the XBox apparently. The original PlayStation (or people who meant the series of consoles) was answered most, four times, with the PlayStation 5 having three mentions. All other answers scored one point and were all manufactured by Nintendo.
Spoiler | PlayStation | 4 | | PlayStation 5 | 3 | | Game Boy Advance | 1 | | Game Boy Color | 1 | | Nintendo Game & Watch | 1 | | Nintendo Game Cube | 1 | | Nintendo Switch | 1 |
2. Name a genre of video games.
Perhaps people looked ahead at question five, because Sports ends up victorious with four points. First-person shooters and Massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) had two answers. TheManxMissile has a NSFW answer.
Spoiler | Sports | 4 | | First-Person Shooter | 2 | | MMORPG | 2 | | Adult Visual Novel | 1 | | Horse | 1 | | Shooters | 1 | | Transport Simulator | 1 |
3. Name a video game protagonist.
It's-a me, Mario! The Italian plumber wins the round with four points and is the only protagonist mentioned more than once. We also end up full circle as Lance Neilstrung was both an answer given in the first and last round.
Spoiler | Mario | 4 | | Ezio Auditore | 1 | | Joel Miller | 1 | | Lance Neilstrung | 1 | | Lara Croft | 1 | | LeBron James | 1 | | Nameless guy from GTA 3 | 1 | | Pac-man | 1 | | Sergeant Johnson | 1 |
4. Name a video game developer.
I meant video game studio, which most of you submitted, but two of you used the opportunity to name an individual developer here, including our very own Lachi for his cycling card game. But if you wanted points, the developer you had to name was Cyanide, which was the only studio with three mentions. All other answers are once again worth one point.
Spoiler | Cyanide | 3 | | Electronic Arts | 1 | | Insomniac Games | 1 | | Lachi | 1 | | Mike Bithell | 1 | | Naughty Dog | 1 | | Nintendo | 1 | | Paradox | 1 | | Square Enix | 1 | | Valve | 1 |
5. Name a franchise of sport video games.
Two franchises were obvious answers, and both score four points. Football (not handegg) is popular and so are the FIFA games, and since we are a PCM forum Pro Cycling Manager is a guaranteed pick as well. Tough luck if you picked anything else.
Spoiler | FIFA | 4 | | Pro Cycling Manager | 4 | | Dead or Alive Xtreme Beach Volleyball | 1 | | International Superstar Soccer | 1 | | Mutant Football League | 1 | | Those flash rugby games | 1 |
baseballlover312 does what he has to do and has a perfect round. Unfortunately for him, it's only worth nineteen points. Croatia14 and df_Trek tie for second place at fifteen points, with three players tying for fourth at fourteen points. Four people (jandal7, kandesbunzler26, Ollfardh, TheManxMissile) went for a five-pointer (I presume), and of those only Ollfardh fails as he didn't take into account Nemolito naming MMORPG as well.
jseadog1 was one of the three to score fourteen points, which means he has scored enough to win I'm with stupid 2021.3! baseballlover312 closed the gap from eleven to six points, but it's not enough. The rest of the top five remains exactly the same as well with Nemolito third, alexkr00 fourth, and df_Trek fifth. jandal7 and kandesbunzler26 end up with 5*5=25 points, less than cunego59 and knockout who only played one round!
So that's it for the third edition this year! Thanks for playing! jseadog1 has the right of first refusal if we want to do another round.

Congrats to Jdog! It was a tough battle, but his consistency was unmatched, and I couldn't come back from some lesser answers in Rounds 3 and 4.
Thanks to Marcovdw for hosting! It was a great edition with great questions and reporting.
How did PCM not run away with Question 5 though, seriously.
RIP Exxon Duke, David Veilleux, Double Feature, and Monster Energy |

Thanks for running this Marco, not all rounds were my cup of tea but I enjoyed most of it!
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

PCM might be what brought us here, but it's not what it made us stay.
Most of us have stopped playing or barely play it (my case. I have played like 2 editions in the last 10 years. And one of them I didn't even buy - I won it in a contest here).

Oh, for sure. I haven't bought PCM in almost 6 years now, though I won 18. Still, I figured it would be the obvious pick just by association.

Well I think it was pretty well balanced in the end since Fifa is without a doubt the most known sports video game franchise. So I think PCM did alright getting the same score

Yeah not gonna lie I completely forgot about PCM (answered in a hurry with top of mind names) and even though I have it in my nickname it has completely vanished from the games or franchises that create instant awareness for me. |

That final Round was too good to not go for the 5 and shout out of the all time great video game franchises
Deserved winner in JDog. Five sets of really good questions from Marco!

Love the International Superstar Soccer shoutout, think that was my first ever sports game on my parents’ N64 
24/02/21 - kandesbunzler said “I don't drink famous people."
15/08/22 - SotD said "Your [jandal's] humour is overrated"
11/06/24 - knockout said "Winning is fine I guess. Truth be told this felt completely unimportant."
