Gawker’s Super Fun Super Bowl Quiz!
A fun and totally pointless quiz asks 'What Super Bowl Time Are You?'
Long, long ago in 2011, a Huffington Post trends and traffic editor was busy analyzing words and phrases that people were searching on the Internet. This editor would then write posts using that data in order to get them to appear in Google’s top-ranked search results. The day before Super Bowl XLV between the Green Bay Packers and the Pittsburgh Steelers, this editor noticed one question popping up in his data: ‘What Time Does the Superbowl Start.’ (Super Bowl spelled as one word.)
Of course Google has now made it much more difficult to game the search engine optimization (SEO) system as was done in the web glory days. But for one brief moment in time, a simple article titled with that highly searched for question struck Internet gold and earned Huffington Post‘s article the top spot in Google’s search results, not to mention everlasting fame–at least to digital editors like me.
In honor of ‘What Time Does the Superbowl Start,’ the great minds at Gawker.com have put together a helpful quiz that based on questions like, ‘How do you take your coffee?’ and ‘Which Batman character are you?’ will determine one of the most important things that will ever be determined in your life: ‘What Super Bowl Time Are You?’
I’m happy to report that I’m 3:30 p.m. PST like a grown woman should be. Take the quiz and find out what you are!

Studio Sessions: Ling Chun
The Seattle-based artist brings playful color to ceramics and neon while exploring memory, transformation, and life between cultures.
For Ling Chun, creating begins with something sensed before it can be named. Working with clay, glass, light, and sometimes synthetic hair, the Hong Kong-born artist gives physical form to things that words cannot always hold. “For me, the magnitude of making goes far beyond the object that is eventually produced,” Chun says. “The object…
The Magic of PAX Is Stronger Than Ever
PAX West draws more than 100,000 people to Seattle each year. Co-founder Jerry Holkins reflects on what the gaming convention set out to change, how its community has grown and why gathering face to face still matters.
Access to game news as it was happening was difficult back in the day. Even with the advent of the internet, communication between game publishers and journalists was still a very elite affair. I used to fake credentials—via fax machine!—to attend the Electronic Entertainment Expo, mostly just known as E3. It was simultaneously as loud…
