QUESTION 22 - What does the infamous "Warthog Run" refer to?

[Pirez]

Completing Halo with a warthog even though the latter part of the game is supposed to be innaccessible to vehicles?

[Rsandee]

Isn't that the ending of Halo 1, where you have to drive a warthog while escaping the crumbling base?

[Pirez]

That was my first guess, but I'm failing to see why it would be infamous.

QUESTION 22 - What does the infamous "Warthog Run" refer to?

Isn't it when you walk on a narrow sidewalk and this huge pig comes up opposite you, so you try to let it pass, but it just keep standing there dumbfounded, then you shrug and continue walking, then it freaks out and starts running away from you across the highway, almost getting hit by 3 different cars?

Oh, no, I guess that would be a "wild boar run".

[Master]

Isn't that the ending of Halo 1, where you have to drive a warthog while escaping the crumbling base?

That was my first guess, but I'm failing to see why it would be infamous.

It's (and the Warthog Run in Halo 3, which I'd have also accepted is) a well regarded setpiece in gaming, but I appreciate that the way I viewed it may not have been best suited to the wording.

I'll give Rsandee the point.

QUESTION 23 - How did Legends Arceus differ from the mainline games when it came to evolutionary methods for a certain sub-group of Pokemon?

[Pirez]

Pokémon that only evolved via trading can now bypass this limitation with the link cable object? Seeing as Legends Arceus is a single player game only.

[Master]

I'll accept that, point to Pirez. Who now has the lead!

QUESTION 24 - Which Nintendo characters received toys which were cross-comapitable with Skylanders and Amiibo?

[RayGamer99]

Finally, a question I can answer! Anyway, that would be Bowser and Donkey Kong.

[Pirez]

Wasn't it Fox Mc Cloud or am I thinking about the wrong game?

[Master]

That would be another game, and if memory serves it was the Arwing not the character themself that had a toy.

Point to Raygamer99!

[Giant Chicken]

2018?
