OK, I know there are some You Don’t Know Jack fans here, in lieu of other news you might find this quite interesting – a couple of guys are trying to convert the really old 90s CD ones (the EU versions as you can buy the US ones freely on Steam) to Javascript and hence browser playable. Currently they have some of the French demo disc converted and playable, I gather they’d quite like the UK demo disc (if anyone still has it, and that’s as opposed to the full game). It’s in early stages right now, take a look if you want, and here’s their Twitter.
In other news Bear Grylls is going to host a celebrity endurance elimination show Mission Survive which basically sounds like 71 Degrees North in a jungle.
There’s an app out for The Jump. For ultra realism, drop your smartphone on your ankle during use.

Hmm.. There’s a lot of restrictions that the app won’t run on – i.e anything earlier than a iphone 5? Forget it.
And yet – the screenshot of the game on the C4 website, appears that the developers haven’t moved on graphics wise very far from a Sega Gamegear.
Mission Survive might actually be watchable as long as they get celebs who actually want to do it rather than the Gemma Collins of this world. 71 Degrees North wasn’t a bad show at all.
The Cube must be planning for its post TV-career…
