The quiz.

The timer.

Read the description.

Got questions?! Reread the description.

Still got questions?! Sorry, I suggest you give it a pass.

I am fully aware this may be considered unfair, mind reading guessing game yadayadayada. Again, just give it a pass.

No sharing of answers/hints/giveaway URL! Do it yourself, on your own, or - you've guessed it! - give it a pass.

EDIT: Okay so earlier I didn't really hint the game I'm giving out but let's just say it is relevant to the quiz. That was something you should've expected/guessed, but there, I confirmed it.

Solvers: (at least) 17 solvers and 11 entries

NOTICE: Apparently the soundboard site I'm linking to doesn't work for everybody (doesn't play sounds I link). I'm getting mixed reports that works on Chrome but not on Firefox or quite the opposite. Probably it has more to do with your settings blocking the scripts, then. What can I say as much as it may be annoying to you, I am unfortunately unprofessionally washing my hands. If you can't run a browser with settings that makes it work, I think you can still figure out the track via trackid. Granted, it's not convenient. I'm too lazy and unwilling to host those tracks myself >.>

CLARIFICATION: Q1 seems more unfair than I thought, there's a common misspelling that my source has made and I sadly followed suit. Q3 on the other hand has a component that is never really spelled out and you may find 2 versions. Generally, once you are past the stage that you know what I am asking about, digging around it should prove fruitful and you eventually get the answer I used. Some folks have solved it without this clarification though, probably followed the same sources as I did.

Solution

Foreword

Wall of text with creator's commentary, because this is how I roll.

This time I explored the concept of an unfair itstoohard quiz. This could have been a simple trivia, but I introduced puzzling elements (otherwise I wouldn't have called it "a puzzle" at all).

I linked some sound clips from Duke Nukem 3D and you had to first actually figure out what am I asking. Then it would still be rather easy if I accepted some alternative answers, or even the most popular ones, but I went even more evil on that.

The soundboard apparently wasn't working for every browser or its settings, but to me stuff like that is always like a meta-puzzle, having the smarts to overcome real life adversities is a good thing.

I asked to read, and reread description, because it had important things. Generally if you could read between the lines, even the fact it could have been a simple trivia is important, because it meant that my question is a rather logical one, fitting a trivia, not something pulled out completely out of thin air.

But there were other important things, most notably that I asked to finish every answer (yes, that includes the last one as well!) with "?!" (question mark and exclamation mark). I'm following more or less suit / paying a homeage to Zlia's quizzes with that and his OCD to end every answer with a period. This is very good filter for people who can't read the details.

Another important thing was that I didn't ask for aliases (nicknames!), nor for titles (stuff like military titles.. although it was also double meaning, that I didn't ask for movie titles for instance).

The actual question

The quotes of Duke Nukem are actually, for the most part, rip offs from bad asses from many movies. Often taken quite verbatim, sometimes just referencing something more vaguely.

This is quite shocking revelation! Isn't it?! To those unaware.

So yes, what I was actually asking about was to provide the name of the person that spoken a quote that given Duke Nukem's quote is based on.

But, I was asking for no aliases or titles, basically for the full name.

Also I guess the question had a provision "using the same sources as I did". My main source was Wikiquote. Whoever used that to their advantage really had an upper hand. I didn't really double check what is written there, but if I didn't find something there, I was doing a quick web search, so could you.

One typo carried over from that source wasn't really intentional, so that was the evil people are doing on itstoohard I commited as well while not planning for it. My apologies for that one particular typo on Q1.

I do not apologize for the rest though, still completely intended :D I never pretended this was easy or fair, on the contrary!

The answers

1. Marcellus Wallace

   • Was supposed to be part of the easy ones, but there's a popular typo I unfortunately followed. Should actually be Mar_s_ellus. Unintended puzzling element, not that hard to find out overall especially after I admitted that typo and apologized for it.

2. John McClane

   • This was the actual easiest one, then. Even though die hard.

3. George Nada

   • Another contentious answer that I didn't originally realize, but I don't think it's as bad as the typo above. Turns out, the character is never named in the movie and in the credits it's just "Nada" (I even rewatched "They live!" - weird, it's on youtube full version, in various languages). He was apparently named in some bonus materials, but IMDB and Wikiquote call him George (that's what I followed), while Wikipedia calls him John. These are all user-edited places so I didn't really cared to find the actual source, my point is that it's nothing hard to find and as far as I'm concerned it's George. Deal with it.

4. Harry Callahan

   • An easy way to introduce you early to the fact I'm not asking for nicknames, but for a full name isntead, so sorry, no "Dirty" Harry.

5. Ashley James Williams

   • Again, not "Ash", and also the "J." actually means something.

6. Ashley James Williams

   • Same answer as above, because why the heck not. Inducing some more confusion, good stuff.

7. Antonio MOntana

   • Indeed, full name please. Not "Tony".

8. Hartman

   • In my opinion this one was hardest. I could not find his actual name (unlike in Q3), so this time I rolled without the name at all. But also, as stated in the description, no titles, so no Gunnery Seargeant (whatever way you want to spell it).
   • To add to the confusion, this quote actually was featured earlier in one movie and later on as well, many times. But the Gny Srg Hartman is the main real mother- bad ass source.

9. Arnaud Amalric

   • Some actual historical stuff, not a movie. Neato!

10. Duke Nukem

    • Get back to work, slacker, I did say it's NSFW so why are you trying to solve my quiz at work?!
    • Anyway, that was another evil confusing part, because that was something actually said by the Duke. Don't think it was that hard to realize though, I could've went with something harder :3

11. Duke Nukem Forever

    • Yes indeed, very related game to give away. But of course remember I asked to finish all answers with ?!

Conclusion

Well I guess I explored the concept of evil itstoohard quiz pretty well, with some puzzling elements introduced to keep this out of the trivialities.

Congratulations to all my solvers, fun how some completed it just for kicks even knowing the game (or did they not start with the last answer to realize it?). Or maybe they expected some follow up puzzles well sorry, not this time.

Special congratulations of course go to the winner!
