Pro Sieben and naughty internet streaming

Yo, what are you doing this evening? Not much these days I bet! So why not join us as two celebs battle it out for €100,000 in an empty studio across fifteen mystery games, one of which will be Blamieren oder Kassieren, live on German television?

As ever we will have our Discord open for live chat and quizzing and gossip and stuff. Remember it’s a privilege not a right so behave yourselves. To avoid cutting out, we advise turning Auto-sensitivity off and setting it to -85dB or so in your settings.

To watch it would be useful to sign up for ProSieben’s catch-up service – it’s pretty simple to work out, don’t click the box if you don’t want e-mail messages. You will need to put in a proper e-mail because it will send you a confirmation. You will need some sort of VPN service to watch live.

Unfortunately we will not be streaming our chat to Youtube this time round as I’m actually busy most of the evening, and moving forward it’s likely to become Discord only as this frees up the ability for us to do cool things (like *you* not needing a VPN to watchalong, ahem). There will still be people watching and chatting along though.

Here is a lazy post where I just repost things from Twitter as I can’t be bothered to write them out again. Let’s hope for future generations Twitter never goes down, or indeed does.

First though, an excellent tweet from News Craven’s John Round which made me laugh:

Now: audiences and that.

…BUT there won’t be the usual Youtube watchalong because I’m busy. There will be the usual live chat in the Discord so feel free to join in. Musician Wincent Weiss vs actor Edin Hasanovic.

In fact I’m considering dropping the Youtube element in future and tempted to go Discord only, the main advantage being I can naughty stream the feed into the Discord without too much hassle (I won’t do that if anyone from Pro7 is reading, ahem), and the Youtube doesn’t get many viewers these days anyway. Our Free ESC Discord Watchalong worked really well, lots of people just watching on mute if they don’t want to join in.

Edit: There’s some stuff on US Small Fortune and The Cube in the comments here.

Something that may be of interest has just come up on Amazon Prime. No it’s not series six of Australian Survivor (although yes, it’s also series six of Australian Survivor), but a new drama that might scratch an itch Release the Hounds may have left behind called Panic.

Panic, written by and based on a 2014 novel by Lauren Olivier, features young adults in the deadend town of Carp, Texas attempt to win a lifechanging amount of cash that only one of them will win by completing increasingly dangerous challenges. No-one knows how the game started, but it’s an annual event.

It’s probably not the next Alice in Borderland and to be clear I’ve only seen the trailer, but it looked right up my alley so it might be right up yours too.

It’s fair to say that a lot of our usual Belgian Mol chat has moved over to the Bother’s Bar Discord this year, for better or worse, but I don’t think you should miss this – RTV Warriors have done a follow-up interview with host of De Mol Gilles De Coster for their latest podcast. The first one a few years back was sensational – Gilles is the best – so I’m really looking forward to listening to this one.

In other news, congrats for this:
