Some medals work, some not.... I have completed the first part with 14 spins and the medal didn't unlock....argh..

I just got that one, so it is working now. Only the second flawless run I've had :).

Also, one hint for this game. If you just keep playing the questions don't seem to repeat, at least not until they are entirely exhausted, which is at least a couple of hours of playing. But if you restart the game/refresh the page they do repeat. I'm now doing significantly better due to simply memorising the answers from before, though sport is still my nemesis as the names and figures from american football and baseball etc mean absolutely nothing to me and make them impossible to remember.

This sucks. Every question on that game keeps coming up undefined. I even tried deleting all sites and clearing my cookies and such, and I'm still getting nothing but undefined questions.

This is bogus as fuck, basically. :(

So I guess a guide for this game would be a long-ass list of Qs & As, huh? Killer... >_>

Looks like Trump Card, Extra Innings, and Someone Set Us Up the Bomb are glitched for me.

With all these glitched medals NG should provide a testing environment that the author's can use to see if medals actually will work in their game. Like let them upload their game in a separate place from the Portal where they can play their game and see if their medals will work. To avoid wasting the author's time, the author will just manipulate a few variables in their code to make the game easier for themselves.

Indeed. I could put up a list of what I have so far but should I since its giving so much of the game away? Seriously, I need some more input on this.

Like us PMing questions and answers we run into?

I've just got Extra Innings, but I needed to have 15 rounds rather than just 10- possibly just a typo in the medal description.

I now know the answers to virtually every question, but still can't get some of the medals as they rely heavily on luck as well as knowledge. Persistence is the key... (and I'm afraid to go to sleep in case I forget all I have learned!)

Not what I meant, but that'd be nice. My question actually meant whether or not I should put a Q and A guide list up since putting it up would make the game completely obsolete and no point to it.

Bah, I am not an American, how the hell am I supposed to know some of those questions?

I say...nay.

If we do it'll be NG pass 3 and Deliver that Fulp all over again in a sense.

Easy points for everyone.

I think we should put Q + A on the most DIFFICULT questions that know one knows and Q + A on questions people outside of the US might not know.

But on most of the questions we should leave as is.

I don't know about you guys, but I could only get the medical and the history questions right...

This is fuckin bullshit. I played another long ass quest in medieval rampage with the lvl 6 armor, fully upgraded two weapons and didn't get jack shit

I say no as well, it would render the game pointless, though having all the answers wouldn't make it any easier finding them from a long list or remembering them. Honestly a game like this where an FAQ instantly ruins it I say there shouldn't be one.

Incidentally just got the trump card achievement, so either it has been fixed or like the other medal the total required is just a little higher than advertised (I got 27000- please ignore my score on the leaderboard as I stumbled on a rather entertaining glitch that continually doubled my score every time I played)

I've got most of them now, time for sleep...

Also...

I was like that about 8 hours ago, but there are a finite number of questions. Just keep restarting the game after a few rounds and they will start to repeat, and with a bit of time invested you can get to the point where you know the answer to almost every question, American or not.

well now people are going to start trying to find that glitch...

Drop the Bomb has just too many questions about things before the 1980s. How is most of Newgrounds supposed to know that without playing for like a day straight to memorize all the answers.
I also ran into just some obscure question that no one would get first time without guessing, it was something about a sailing championship, really who on NG would follow sailing.

The author has said that the Extra Innings is a typo and should be 15, he told Tom to change it, but I think he is changing it in game to be 10. Also he said the some medals clash in the game, if you earn one medal, you can't earn any others during the trigger point and apparently a few medals have the same trigger point. He said he is trying to get them fixed.

Glad to see that not every author is a jerk haha glad he's fixing it.

I'm getting the same stupid thing. It's not fun trying to play this game if you can't even complain with the rest of you guys about the difficulty of these questions.

i have to agree... for all us non americans that game is stupidly hard... i dont know anything about american sport, tv and a few random ones... im fine with science... if there was a maths one it would be great... but having questions based in american really makes it hard for us who dont know the slightly thing about your history... :P

Hm... All questions are undefined... Tried to refresh but it didn't work... :/

When I uploaded the first version of D-Day Defender (with medals) I accidentally submitted an old bugged version. I resubmitted what I thought was a version that fixed all bugs (which took about 2 days to get approved), but I see there are still some problems. Everything seems to mess up after you get the Panzerschreck medal, I'll look into that right away.

I'm making a post in my account with all questions for Drop the Bomb.

I don´t like drop the bomb that much. Most of the trivia questions asked seem very specialized in one subject and do not really fall under the catagory basic knowledge if ask me.

Even questions that do fall into a catagory I normally do well on are just too diversed to know all the answers. Like music questions about both rappers and rock bands. Sorry, but I just don´t give a crap about american rap music. And I am sure people who are into rap don´t give a crap about classic rock bands.

Also, most history, tv and sports questions seem very Americanish. How am I supposed to know in which year some baseball player made his 700th homerun? Or which state entered the union as the 48th state? We don´t care about such things in Europe =/

So the questions just suck ass. 80% are just total guesses for me because I never know that much about a certain subject. The only way to actually get the medals in this game seems to me by simply memorizing the answers, which is just lame.

Right, I think I fixed all the Medal glitches for D-Day Defender, I re-submitted the file but it's gonna take a while for it to get approved. If you see a '1.m' in the top left hand corner of the menu you're playing the glitch-free (I hope) version.

Goody, because I got 500 enemy kills and the text came up but no picture and no medal sooo.. Hope you fixed that up.
In relation to your previous post, I think it was because of the panzershreck medal.

Thanks for taking the time to fix your game, because that seems to be a problem for some people these days *COUGH*dimz*COUGH*komix*COUGH* I can't wait to play the glitch free, hopefully, version of D-Day Defender.

Could someone link me to the page where Wylo posted tips on DDD?

I have made a news post listing every question and answer from Drop The Bomb.

Currently there are 2 out of 10 question categories, I'll update with more as soon as possible. It takes a long time to get every question & answer and then write it down. There are tons of questions in this game.

I like quiz games, but Drop the Bomb is too specialized. "Which former NFL Quarterback was on the cover of one Madden NFL Football game?"
Yeah, I couldn't even name ONE former NFL Quarterback, no matter if he appeard on Madden NFL or not.

"Which one of those states does not border the atlantic ocean?"
If I'm lucky I can only name a few states of the US, but even then I'm not entirely sure where exactly they are located.

"What structure did the Whig party use in the presidental campaign of William Henry Harrison?"
WTF? What is the Whigh party, and who the fuck is William Henry Harrison?
It's like if I was asking any non-german user "Who was the first opposition leader of the federal republic of Germany?" Even german users wouldn't know the answer (myself included ;) ), so how could I expect anyone else to know it?

Also, I survived three bomb rounds, but didn't get the medal... :(
