Today marks two years since I posted my first article here on PlayStation University. You’re probably thinking “Who cares?” I do, and I get to post whatever I want on here, so there.

Anywho, that very first article was the infamous Pop Quiz, and was some of the most fun I’ve had putting something together for the site. It’s a broken mess of HTML now — it all went to hell when we redesigned the site back in December 2010. I still have the Word document that I originally drafted it on, so I was able to humiliate Malcolm and Tyler on Episode 009 of our podcast.

What’s the point of all this rambling? Well, I really do feel pretty good about my two years writing for PS Uni, and I wanted to celebrate. Below you’ll find another quiz to put your PlayStation Education to the test. This time, though, you won’t find the answers on the following page. Instead, I want you to send your answers in an email to psunipodcast [at] gmail [dot] com with the subject line “Pop Quiz”. From there, I’ll randomly select someone who gives me all of the right answers between now and 3PM Central on Friday, March 30th to win a download code for Journey, the new PSN game by thatgamecompany. Unfortunately, my magic only allows me to purchase a North American code; sorry, international readers.

Journey’s worth $14.99, which is nothing to sneeze at. As such, neither will this quiz. Try not to cry.
