- It’s the Pick Me! pilot in Manchester tomorrow. If you’re going do tell us if it’s any good. Under an assumed name if you’d prefer.
- This Friday there’s another The Hit List runthrough, with the emphasis on fun for you at home (i.e. they’re testing the software). Follow @hitlistquiz on Twitter for the latest details. The Mysterious Mr B (spoiler, it’s David Bodycombe) suggests from 3-4:45pm-ish and there might be prizes. This is good timing, because you’ve all taken the Friday off to stay up and watch the election on Thursday night. It will be LIVE! on Youtube once again, presumably.
- The next Bother’s Bar Mario Kart 8 Super Challenge will be this Saturday from around 8pm to around 9:30pm. This one will be slightly different, I’m going to open a private room and you will need to search for me (go online -> Join Friend and look for BrigBother) so it will ensure we can all race together. You MUST have both DLC packs. The previous tourneys maxed out around 12, so if this proves popular you might get a bit unlucky as 12 is the maximum, I’ll shout on Twitter if and when a space opens up. There may well be chat in between races, you will need to accept there might be adult language.

Also to add into your diary for next week, on Monday, the show Dan was talking about on the SdR commentary (Beat The Brain) will be starting then on BBC2 at 6:30. Apparently John Craven’s hosting it and involves teams of 4 taking on The Brain
Seemingly “The Brain” is played by Whose Line is it Anyway favourite Josie Lawrence
Thing which may be of interest, whilst it’s not much like Korea’s, we now have our own improvised-crime-investigation-with-celebrities offering:

Does this really count as a gameshow? It’s primarily a comedy, but for me there’s enough of a game in there.
Totally different question and quick responses from the Bar denizens would be appreciated:
If you people with long memories had the chance to ask questions of the principals behind the Cyberdrome Crystal Maze live action attractions, what questions would you ask, please?
How did the balance the need for games to interesting vs achievable?
Is there any game they invented that couldn’t be used for safety reasons?
Do they believe the attractions could still be a commercial success if a new series of maze were ever made?
Great stuff, thanks. Much appreciated.
FYI, Schlag den Raab is not back until after the summer.
Schlag den Star is back in the summer though. Recording in June.
Yep, figured it’s summer break time.
