Remaining questions and clues:
3. [1000]Name one of the two items sitting on my desk directly in front of my printer.
It isn't computer related. One of them is an item most people will use everyday, and if they don't they probably should.
4. [1000]I have a shelf of games, of the ones standing vertically (ie in DVD Cases), name two that aren't cricket games.

6. [750] I own two computer game consoles, name them.
Neither of them are made by Microsoft, and the companies both still make consoles.
8. [222] I had a test that included the above question recently, out of 25 what was my mark?
