// I don't like this:
/*
    socket.on('answer', function(answer, fn) {
        socket.get('game', function(ge, g) {
            socket.get('score', function(se, score) {

// this is much nicer, I could even make a function to keep it DRY
var test;
socket.get('socket_var', function(err, socket_variable) {
    test = socket_variable;
});
console.log(test);
// Hi! I'm a socket variable
