It’s 4am in Botherland and because it’s -hey! – the weekend I’ve put a bonus letter reveal up in Word Up. Two for the price of one, you can’t say fairer than that.
Sega Genesis Evangelion
Yo dudes. I know Bother’s Bar has been a bit Fort Boyard-centric lately but that’s mainly because there’s nothing else exciting on (except maybe Noel crossdressing (“Wah they’re trying to be entertaining and fun again please make them stop” – the Internet) and Pointless) and it’s basically my favourite topic so basically SUCK IT UP, BITCHES. Don’t worry, Take the Money and Run starts next week. And I’m giving money away. What more is it you want? Blood?
Anyway what you probably want to know is: if Fort Boyard was a Mega Drive game from 1991 what would it sound like? Happily Alex Richards holds the answer.
Word Update
The prize for Word Up! has dropped to £47, and the puzzle gets a little easier. Why not have a go?
And follow me on Twitter to find out EXACTLY when new letters get revealed. It’s normally 2330-0000ish, and you’re free to have a new guess as soon as the next letter comes up.
If you’re looking for action, you’ve come to the right place
We’ve briefly mentioned Run the Gauntlet before, the action packed challenge show with Martin Shaw from the 80s with things like Supercats and The Hill in, and somebody had posted a clip from the 1988 celebrity special.
Well someone else has uploaded that entire episode, rather brilliantly:
Watching Telly: Holding Out For a Hero
I’m aware they’ve started recording Holding Out For a Hero for ITV1 today. If you go along, or you’ve been along, do tell us what you thought.
You can read thoughts on the pilot filmed in March here.
Board of Excitement 24th-30th July 2011
Alright first things first – it’s a new Happy Hour competition! Word Up! offers up to £50 for the winner, go and have a look.
Otherwise there’s not much to get excited about this week – Amazing Race Australia nears its climax, Fort Boyard 2010 is on TV5 on Monday although seeing as this is episode 8 of a 7 episode series I don’t know what it is they will be showing. Fort Boyard 2011 goes from strength to strength on Saturday – who would have thought painting some doors and knocking ten minutes off the running time would have been so successful?
So here’s a clip of one of my favourite new old things, Pied Marin:
