The Bother’s Bar Wie is De Mol 2019 discussion page is now open.
Bother’s Bar SMASH Fight Night!
Saturday 29th December, 9-10:30pm,
Youtube
(Celebrity Game Night is the next post down, if you were wondering.)
And so we come to our latest TV Total-style spin-off live event, the very first Bother’s Bar SMASH Fight Night, and to be very honest with you literally anything could happen. Perhaps nobody will turn up. Perhaps there will be connection issues. Maybe the live commentary won’t work. What we’re saying is: don’t set your expectations too high.
Notionally there will be a Battle Arena set-up which can hold up to eight players of which four will play at once. 3 mins, low items, three-life stock battle, top two stay on and losers rotate out, the contestant with the most total KOs at the end of the final game at 10:30 is the Fight Night CHAMPION. And this is all on Super Smash Bros Ultimate on Switch.
The Arena ID will pop up here around 8:55, as will the link to the Discord commentary – that’s right, if you’re playing along hopefully you’ll come and join the comms as well – if you’re just watching the Youtube stream you’re going to be about thirty seconds behind.
Literally any of this could change before or on the night, but you want some SMASH action, why not come and join us?
Show Discussion: Celebrity Game Night
Saturday, 10pm,
Channel 5
UK adaptation of US show Hollywood Game Night, presumably Borehamwood Game Night didn’t test as well.
Liza Tarbuck hosts two teams of celebrities led by Danny Baker and Susan Calman across a range of different games and quizzes. Evidently they’ve dropped the “civilians hanging out with celebs and winning money” aspect of the US original although this probably won’t matter too much. In fact from the casting this is very much giving me modern-day Win, Lose or Draw vibes which I’d suggest is very much A Good Thing. Celebs in episode one seem to include Scarlett Moffat, Greg Rutherford and Ore Oduba, which is the sort of level we’re looking at.
Let us know what you think in the comments.
Another impromptu Christmas Video!
i.e. basically I wanted to try out a new game capture card.
The Christmas season is a time for board gaming with families, but what if you can’t be bothered with “bits”? The answer is “digital”. Here’s a playthrough of the recent release of Carcassonne on Nintendo Switch, and get this, you can hear me on this one.
And speaking of Nintendo Switch, this week’s Xmas TV Total-style spin off, Bother’s Bar’s Smash Fight Night will now be happening on Saturday night, 9-10:30ish, and we’ll be trying to stream the whole thing LIVE.
Proper gameshow content resumes in the New Year, with the Poll of 2018.
Impromptu Christmas video!
An experiment with the PS4 streaming features, you can barely hear me in it, sorry, anyway here’s Bother’s Bar Plays Badly: Trivial Pursuit LIVE! – a quiz game that’s been out on PS4 for a while and was recently released on Switch.
It’s Christmas night so I’ve had a bit to drink so perhaps that’s for the best.
I have little doubt the comments I was getting were screaming “turn your mic up!” – Sorry! Anyway it’s a pretty good quiz game, worth a look.
Merry Christmas one and all!
Probably not a great deal happening between now and New Year, although I’m hoping to live stream some sort of Bother’s Bar Smash Bros on (checks diary) Friday 28th Saturday 29th, look out for details then. You’ll need to add me as a Switch friend to have any hope of playing (SW-2805-5403-1808) , and although I haven’t settled on anything yet you might want to set up a Discord account as well.
And in the New Year there’s the Poll of 2018. Including some new categories by popular demand – radio and online. Get your thinking caps on!
