Alright, just a reminder that the UKGameshows.com Festive Fifty (it’s still technically within the twelve days) will be happening Thursday (that’s tomorrow as I write this) at 8pm. It’s free to play, so don’t miss out as there’s a share of £50 to be won. You will need to join the club, and once I’ve approved you you need to register for the tournament. If you leave it until Thursday to join the club, I can’t guarantee I will be able to approve you until close to when the tournament starts, so don’t delay! And if that wasn’t enough, TOP CELEBS are signing up, and at least David Bodycombe will be playing tomorrow to defend his money.
Details on the exciting and FREE! Mix It Up Real Good championship will be forthcoming at the weekend.
Importantly, this Sunday is the first event of the Bother Series of Poker proper at 8pm. The cost is £5.50 to enter. Don’t miss it!
Finally thank you all for voting in our poll! We’ve already had almost as many votes total in these few days than we got in the entirety of last year. If you haven’t voted, don’t forget to do it before next Friday.
Finally finally: Dan Peake of Accumulate! fame did a Robert Miles/Countdown mash-up. And here it is! It works quite well until the end I think.
Edit: EXCLUSIVE from my chum @eviljobob – the head to head in Pointless next series is all new and exciting. “Head to Head – same scoring system (first to 2 wins) but a variety of questions within that… 1. Picture round – 5 pics of stage musicals, name them. 2. Clues to facts about a thing/person – name the facts… 3. Missing words – complete the quotation. Does that make sense?” – Good enough for now thanks Jo! Edit Edit: They get a choice of five categories in the final round as well, by the sounds.
Well done, Dan. More of this sort of thing.
Thanks Netizen, I can’t remember for the life of me why I made it, but it worked well.
I’m not entirely convinced by the changes in the head to head round, for me the current head to head round is the essence of Pointless, think of an answer from a category that’s more obscure than your opponent’s answer. I prefer it to the list based rounds. We’ll see, time will tell.
Apparently The Chase got 2.9m yesterday, Pointless 3.0m. Exciting!
Mashup: I giggled. Thumbs up!
Glad you liked it. If given more gameshow music to play with, more mashups will be created 😀
would like to be involved, but having security issues – did not realise i had to give my true date of birth. Was wary about phishing… 🙂
We’ve had interest from none other than Celebrity Poker Club’s Ewen Macintosh aka Keith from The Office for playing tonight, so do try for EXTRA celebrity factor!
