Out-Geek Me

You got it

 

Here's one that is from a sci-fi TV series:

No fair using mod powers to see the link.

 

@Wreybies Oh, I think I know....

Spoiler: Spoiler

It was on the tips of my fingers, and Ginger's comment made me think of it. It's Niven, but it's not Rungworld is it? The Pak and Puppeteers fight, and the sweet potato relates to the Pak. It may be in the same universe as Ringworld - I'm not sure. But I don't know that it is Ringworld.

 

@GingerCoffee I knew that one right away...is it...

Spoiler: Spoiler

"To Serve Man," the cookbook from the Twilight Zone episode?

 

This is correct. The yam appears in a number of his Known Space novels, to include all of the Ringworld novels, and yes, it has to do with the Pak, who are (in the books) the species from which we descended. We are Pak "breeders" forever stuck in the breeder instar because the virus that should live in the yams that would trigger our transformation into Protectors didn't take on Earth and died out, though the yams themselves are still present in our ecology. In the books, it is called Tree of Life.

 

Not too much is Google-proof when Web Surfer Girl is in the room.

 

Yep.

 

But be honest, it wasn't until I gave you puppeteer, right?

 

Any self-respecting geek will get this one easy. No fair using Google

 

I didn't get it until you said puppeteer and Ginger mentioned Ringworld

 

No, it was the image and the "series" clue that I used. I haven't read any of the Ringworld books.

 

That's what spoiler tags are for. You play your way, I play mine.

But no need, this was one of my son's favorite videos as a kid.

Spoiler

Army of Darkness

 

Yep...

Spoiler: I was actually thinking of

Evil Dead 2, which is my favorite of the series, but I think the S-Mart scene from Army of Darkness is more on point. I just like ED2 better.

 

I think.....a lot agree with you

So hard to pick

Evil Dead trilogy is awesome but Evil Dead 2 and Army of Darkness are obviously the standouts compared to the first. Evil Dead 2 was the first I saw and remember being actually pretty scared as a kid when his headless girlfriend danced.

Soooo

Evil Dead 2 has a great blend of comedy and horror

Army of Darkness though great, its certainly the odd ball of the Evil Dead movies XD not really horror but an epic fantasy action adventure less gore.

Still though I like that it did something so radically different then the first two and the reboot, but yeah 2 has the best parts of them all

 

The boomstick was a bit easy (albeit cool), but how about we broaden the scope of geekdom:

Anyone recognize where this is from?

 

From an old Apple Lisa?

Spoiler: The Lisa

 

That's from

Spoiler: This

The Commodore 64 Transformers game

 

Not quite, @Jack Asher got it right.

 

Yeah, I googled it in the end, so I didn't answer. It seems that image is from even before the Apple Lisa I pictured.

 

As long as we're doing games, where is this sound from?

And no, that answer is not in the video.

 

It sounds like a siege tank deploying in Starcraft. But they might have stolen it from something else too lol

 

The graphics said video game, that's as far as I got. @Jack Asher was too fast.

 

Getting back to @Wreybies idea, this one might be too easy:

 

Nobody? It's an easy one.
