Garrett? I know that was one of his in that game. I like the name.
And you may ask yourself, 'Where does that highway go to?'

The Guardian. Now if we really take Origin's words on this one, The Guardian is the "half-evil" created when the hero acquired Codex from the Great Stygian Abyss and became Avatar (thus purifying himself and cast all evilness from himself; the evil side became the Guardian).

Actually you don't have to try to memorize them. If you like the game, such memorable things would come into your mind by themselves. I even remember things from the games I hate.

Anyway, nobody has any idea yet about the first CH products featuring force feedback?

There you go again. See, "memorize", at least for me, carries connotations of effort; as if I'm sitting there trying to learn and remember certain names and facts. But I don't do that, it just sort of happens and here we are today.

Mind you, escaping memory would also need some efforts, particularly after you stumbled into goatse.cx or anything posted by KAN The Twisted Fuck.

Ah, for the trivia question, I guess time's up now. Bzzzzt! Alright, the fist CH joystick featuring force feedback is CH F-22 Pro Force Feedback.

Now here's another question: these cards feature Hardware Transform and Lightning except.....
a) nVidia GeForce 2
b) ATI Radeon 7500
c) Voodoo5 6000
d) XGI Volari Duo
e) S3 Savage

My guess would be the S3.

For those who are unfamiliar with the legendary Voodoo 5 6000, I recommend a quick Google Image search.

The Voodoo 5 and S3 Savage. Both those chips lack hardware T&L across the range. (S3 didn't introduce it until UniChrome and nVidia's shouting about it is what killed the Voodoo 5).

Next question:

The town of Silent Hill is located next to scenic Toluca Lake, but where is the real Toluca Lake? Please be precise, skinless dogs will be set on anyone answering with less than city level accuracy.

Oh, and the soundtrack composer for The Dig is Michael Land. The venerable game composer Clint Bajakian was also involved in the game, but he's mostly on sound effects.

As for the next question................

Mention at least three games which soundtrack is made by Frank Klepacki.

He's Westwood's music man isn't he?

So: Command and Conquer, Dune II, and Red Alert are the obvious choices.

Staying on music, the lyrics from One Winged Angel light up the stereos of many a Final Fantasy fan, but who actually wrote those lyrics?

Etherians. Here's my question: What organization built the original Metal Gear, and who was its leader?
Outer Heaven, Big Boss?
You got the first part right, but Big Boss was your commander's codename. Outer Heaven's leader was Colonel Vermon CaTaffy.

I'll guess that Gunhead won the prize.

I believe his name was Bok. His sabres are, if I recall, a fetching shade of purple.

My last question stands.
