Dave M day 1

Great to be back! Traveling for work then pleasure this week so posting may be hit or miss. A terrible 2/6 to start and should be an easy loss. I managed Louvre and Chili's but that was it. I was confident Wolfenstein was the right answer for the video game and kind of peeved it was actually Doom after all.

David S Day 1

 Welcome back, everyone! 4/6 to start the season. I should be easy to defend. 

1. Louvre :), D00. There are 149 questions left in the season, but I’ll guess this ends up being the easiest. 
2. Chili’s :), D11. Also pretty easy. 
3. Cicero :(, D12. Now that I see it, I get it. 
4. Doom :), D22. Felt almost certain based on the 1993 date, but I feel like Wolfenstein was actually the original. 
5. Tecumsah :), D21. Bad spelling, but otherwise a gimme. 
6. Drumroll :(, D33. No clue here.
