The Shenmue Trivia Game: Season 2

[ShenGCH]

Okay:

What's the white object next to the fridge at the Hazuki residence?

I'm sure I remember someone on here explaining the purpose of this appliance, but I'm at a complete loss, so I'm going to guess an air purifier?

Is this some kind of air conditioning?

It has been mentioned on the forums before but nope, not air-related!

Hint: its function relates to meal preparation.

[Mr357]

Is it a dish/utensil sterilizer?

Edit: Scratch that, it's for storing rice!

Correct! They also dispense the rice in pre-measured amounts.


Take it away, Mr 357.

Edit: actually, that's 7 points for Mr 357, right? Congrats!

My first thought was that it was related to the rice, but I thought it was meant to cook the rice and when I searched for such 1980s devices, results didn't confirm my idea. Damn!

PS. To be fair, my very first thought was "personal computer"

So close! You were on the right track.

Yeah, it looks pretty bad-ass for what is just a low-tech container box.

Same here. I wonder what about it gives off that vibe.

Congrats, Mr357

Roll on, season two!

Congratulations Mr357 on being the Shenmue Trivia Champion of Season 1! Congrats man.

Now that Season 1 has ended and the majority of participants wanted to continue on with Shenmue trivia, I have decided to renew the trivia game for a second Season. It is time for us to move on to another topic I will create called "The Shenmue Trivia Game: Season 2." I will ask the first question again on that topic to start things off and the first people who gets it correct...well you know lol. I will give you guys a heads up that there will be one big change for Season 2 that you will probably like. It'll have something to do with Rule #8.

I've had a lot of fun with Season 1 and I hope you guys did too!

See you all in Season 2.

[ShenGCH]

Sweet! This was great fun

[Ryo & Nazomi]

One of the Moderators (only ONE) wouldn't allow me to create a brand new topic for Season 2. So Season 2 will just begin on THIS POST instead. The "big change" I mentioned for Season 2 is that instead of getting 7 Points to win, I have increased it to 3 TIMES AS MUCH to win: 20 POINTS! All the other rules are still the same and everyone starts off with 0 Points again for the new Season. And the Season 2 score will still be on the very bottom of the very first post of this topic.

Now...LET SEASON 2 BEGIN!!!

And here is the very first question for Season 2:

In the very beginning of Shenmue II we see Jiangyu (the lady who talks to Ryo right after he gets his picture taken) thank Ryo for something concerning her little daughter named "Xiaomei" (the little girl in the very beginning with the lady).

What did Ryo previously do for the little girl that caused the lady to express her thanks to him?

[FlagshipFighter]

Ryo saved the little girl's life from Chai on the boat journey prior (between JPN and HK)

That is correct. You may ask the next question now. (wow, new players for the new Season)

And welcome to my Shenmue Trivia Game FlagshipFighter.

You really have a problem with being told no.

I should have known something was up when you were soliciting people to play the game when your thread initially went ignored for almost a month. There were other moderators who thought this was already an overstepping of boundaries, but naively I thought that if your thread got going naturally you would chill out, so I decided to play nice and participate to see if the ball got rolling; which it did.

Unfortunately when I told you that a.) the thread wasn't large enough to warrant another, and b.) you should stop soliciting participation now people were coming freely, you threw a tantrum and brought it up with another mod - who stands behind the decision I made.

And you STILL feel the need to whine about it, in public this time. I've been discreet before by asking you privately not to ignore what I've told you, but if you're putting this out in the open, I'm going to tell my side too.

Please grow up and get over it, or else there will be consequences. Absolute final warning.

you guys are taking this shit waaaay too serious.
