Player Comments on How Well Do You Know Jim Carrey?

I’m starting to notice a running theme with all these quick “Pointfuel” games that I’m reviewing.

1.) They’re old. Ridiculously old. In fact, this one in particular is one year away from being legally allowed to own a gun, get married, vote, drop out of school, drink in Germany, smoke weed in Holland, and it isn’t legally allowed to have sex with any storygames 4 years or further away from its own age.

2.) They’re all quizzes, and not particularly good ones either.

3.) We had high standards for featurable comments and low standards for passable stories. These have endured the eons, but nobody even tried to discuss their content in any meaningful way, so lazy bastards like me can put points on the board by scouring old shite games they haven’t read before and making overly long, verbose analyses on these stories that the authors can no longer benefit from. I think I’m going to call this kind of review “The Vulture Method”.

There’s no introduction, no humor, no nothing. We click the play button, and as with that other quiz, we’re thrown right into it. We’re greeted not with trivia that truly tests how well we know the man, but rather a few standard “Movie Theater” questions about his career. But it’s not like you can really expect anyone here to actually personally know Jim Carrey anyway, because, as we all know, nobody ever talks to Jim Carrey. He’s been ostracised to the Andes at last check.

Not only this, but it comes to ridiculous conclusions about your knowledge based on these very specific, very trivial questions. Judging by my score, the machine thinks “You don’t really know who Jim Carrey is”.

Fuck you, quiz. These questions are flawed! I know everything about Jim Carrey! He ate Spaghetti 3 days ago for lunch 30 minutes after noon!

Now, as someone who has both watched The Mask, The Grinch, Mr. Popper’s Penguins, The Nipple Batman, and even the Alzheimer’s Tattoo movie, and then read the books immediately afterward, I’d like to think I know perfectly well who the hell Jim Carrey is. I mean, at least as well as whoever this author is. Just because they can’t answer these questions that could very easily have been googled info for “inspiration” beforehand, and usually have nothing to do with the actor themselves, but twiddly details that have to do with the movies and the people surrounding the actor, it isn’t a test of Jim Carrey Knowledge, but rather Jim Carrey Movie Knowledge. Which is fine, but for god’s sake be honest about it!

I know Jim Carrey poorly, evidently.
Also, I was disappointed that this quiz didn't mention The Truman Show.

Why isn't this in the quiz section?

— Sethaniel on 10/23/2006 5:20:03 PM with a score of 60

Get a life? By watching Jim Carrey movies, I guess. He's funny, but basing my entire life around his movies sounds a bit...perverse.

— madglee on 9/8/2006 8:15:55 PM with a score of 30

i got a weird score. i mean, how can people say get a life when they get a bad score on a game?

— HerMajesty on 8/13/2006 6:51:13 PM with a score of 30
