Procrastination and Free SWAG

Well, my original plan was to post the second part of my series on console MMOG's and Red5 Studios. That was before this week happened. After 5 straight nights with less than 5 hours of sleep, I doubt I could write a cohesive, much less comprehensible, conclusion to my previous article on the subject. Like many accomplished authors who have gone before me, I will put aside the pen (or more accurately the keyboard), pour myself a drink (Harpoon Brown Ale in a chilled pint glass) and pontificate on more important matters - FREE SWAG.

As I mentioned in my last blog, I have recently received several Afro Samurai figurines. Afro Samurai has become my new gaming, Manga and video obsession of late. I finally had the opportunity to watch the second installment in the Anime Series "Afro Samurai: Resurrection" last night and have to admit that I liked this story even more than the original. So in celebration on my new obsession, and in anticipation of playing the new XBox 360 game release of the same name, I give you the Afro Samurai Trivia Quiz. The first person to list all the correct answers in the comments section of this blog will win the figurine. So get to Googlin', reading the Manga and watching the flicks folks, cause it's time to check your knowledge of the baddest black cat to hit the screen since Shaft - Afro Samurai.

1. Afro Samurai originally appeared in an episodic Japanese cartoon style known as what? (Most difficult question goes first to weed out the heretics)
2. Who penned the Japanese Manga series that re-introduced Afro Samurai to the World?
3. Who voices the part of "Justice" in the Afro Samurai anime series?
4. How many brothers make up the clan that is trying to get the #2 headband from Afro Samurai in the first anime series?
5. Who wrote and produced the music for both the original Afro Samurai Anime series and the new movie "Afro Samurai: Resurrection"?
6. What does Brother # 3 wear on his head that differentiates him from the rest of his clan?
7. Who does Afro Samurai take the #2 headband from, thus beginning his journey to find the #1?
8. How many blades does Afro Samurai wield?
9. What is the name of Afro Samurai's Alter Ego?
10. And who voices this Alter Ego in the anime series? (easiest question last)

And just so you know what you are answering all these questions for, here is another picture of the figurine that will go to the first person to answer all of these questions correctly.
