If any of y'all have questions you want to add, do it now. (Note, however, that the quiz will not be game-specific in any way, so asking questions like "Have you five-starred 'Through the Fire and Flames' on Expert?" and "Have you played Guitar Hero 1?" and "Have you mastered the drums?" will be verboten. Also, all questions must be Yes/No format, unless it's a really good question.)

Also to the also, I do need to organize them. Suggestions for segments will be appreciated.
