No live feed, as it turns out.
In other news, BB US begins on Thursday.
Amateur Adventure Hour
Yeah, you all thought I wasn’t going to return to this didn’t you? Well you were wrong. AND HOW! This week something I found whilst looking for something else: Orbidome, some machinma created through Halo 3:
It’s not always easy to follow, although the 3D Maze and remote control football games are probably the best ones. Machinma’s fun, although we prefer real life stuff, obviously.
Board of Excitement 3rd July – 9th July 2011
Obviously if you hadn’t realised, the planned game of HORSE that was due to go ahead this evening has had to be postponed because of the site hosting it being suspended. I therefore urge you all to join Brig’s Poker Club (yes, it’s to the theme of Rolf’s Cartoon Club) IF YOU DARE and we’ll get a game up and running soon.
In the meantime:
- Pointless – I’m very pleased that Xander and Richard have had a promotion to BBC1 as this is certainly my pick of the current crop of daytime quizzes. With a French version incoming, I’m interested to see how it translates, because it is fair to say that a large part of the appeal of the Brit version is the hosts. (5:15pm, Monday-Friday, BBC1)
- The Amazing Race Australia – We must be due another non-elimination leg soon. (Seven Network, Monday)
- Fort Boyard 2010 – This is, like, so last year. (8:06pm, Monday, TV5)
- 101 Ways to Leave a Gameshow (ABC, Tuesday)
- The Challenge: The Rivals (MTV US, Wednesday)
- Fort Boyard 2011 – Some discussion of it here. I hope episode two is a bit easier to find than episode one. (7:35pm UK, France 2, Saturday)
- It’s my 30th birthday – I’m not going to be here for it. (Saturday)
Show discussion: Fort Boyard France 2011
Well this is very, VERY exciting because I wasn’t expecting to be writing this at all given last year’s response. However the one true version of Fort Boyard appears to be back on screens this evening on France 2 at 8:35pm (7:35 UK time) for the series premiere, starring lots of old Miss Frances and a man.
The exciting thing is I don’t know how easy it’s going to be to watch outside of France. Happily last year they put new episodes up on the website for a fortnight which you could view internationally but there’s no guarantees they’ll do it this year. It will be on pluzz.fr, but not outside of France (anyone coming up with a cheap way around it get’s 20 Botherpoints, although I will pay to use a proxy if necessary). Maybe someone will stream it live on Justin.tv, like with Schlag den Raab, although I wouldn’t be getting my hopes up. And anyway, I’m not going to get the chance to watch it until tomorrow anyway, so.
The first rule of Poker Club is…
… sign up.
I’ve set up Brig’s Poker Club as a permananent addition for occasional games played out of Bother Series of Poker hours. Do have a look, I intend to have a game in the next few weeks.
But don’t worry, I haven’t neglected “normal” Bother’s Bar competitions, look out for the return of Word Up! in the next fortnight or so.
AWOOGA!
Etc.
