Typographic Geekery

This game is awesome. Like Dungeons & Dragons and other tabletop game systems, it proclaims the geek values held by those who play it well.

I am a typographic novice, albeit an enthusiastic one, and I nailed nine out of ten. Damn all-caps "Apple" threw me off, but I got the joke enough to properly figure out all-caps "Windows." Should've known.

And, for the record, I knew most of the differences between the two typefaces before playing; the "C" comparison was one I didn't remember, though. Clearly, I haven't devoted enough time to the important task of font analysis.
