so it's been a bit of a long while since i have watched japanese games shows and i figured there have to be some new ones around - for those of you who may have missed out on human tetris, binocular soccer/football and being-hit-in-the-nuts tongue twisters you can catch up on those over here and then on to here... so i did a little searching and i did find some new ones [to me anyways] [...]
there is a difference between people who play games and game players - the people who commented on the intro to this blog series post that they love 'Balderdash' and '30 Seconds' are people who play games... for game players [and it's not a judgemental difference, just a difference] are the kinds of people who can invest some serious time in a game for both the vibe of the game [people who play games] and [...]
my family and friends have always played a lot of games [except for my dad, he hates games with a passion, his favourite is sitting in the lounge reading his newspaper while the rest of the family plays trivial pursuit and shouting out all the answers, but that's about the closest he gets] but my mom and my sisters love games, and the large majority of friends in my and now our friend ship circles [...]
so this one goes out to the DTYCLE fans [of which i can name at least 6 of you] - i have created two polls of five choices each to see which of the videos you like best and would appreciate it if you could take a quick minute to add your vote and if you need a refreshers course on any of the videos they can all be found here. or here. but certainly [...]
hi, my name are Brad Fish and i like to make videos to can have warn you of things you may not have previously been warned about and so i have came up with a series what are called 'Dangerous Things You Can Least Expect' - these are full of the education and should be passed on to your friends and family and even maybe those who are only a little bit of your enemy [...]
once upon a time i developed a bad pseudo afrikaans accent and an idea for a show that would warn people about the inherent dangers lurking behind innocent-seeming things [like paper, ice-cream and screaming "Lego" when someone who is dangling you over a cliff asks what you will give them if they pull you up to safety] and a few people started really enjoying these videos and some people even started sharing them with their [...]
many of you already know the history, but for anyone who may not... in the beginning there was Jack Handey and such winners as: "It’s sad that a family can be torn apart by something as simple as a pack of wild dogs." [Jack Handey] "Maybe in order to understand mankind we have to look at that word itself. MANKIND. Basically, it's made up of two separate words "mank" and "ind." What do these words [...]
so once upon a time there was a guy called jack handey who wrote some classic mostly one liners which were funny and random and sometimes both all at once... this inspired me to try my own and we are on the seventh round of voting - so if any of these make you smile or laugh or think about laughing really loudly then please let me know in a comment which ones do it [...]
i gather a lot of people out there will have known settlers of catan but i imagine a lot fewer of you will have heard of this gem - Carcassonne - or as we like to refer to it "Kucky Sahn" in the slightest bit similiar to settlers in that the board is different every time (thus each game is vastly different unlike a risk, cluedo or monopoly which have a relative sameness to them) [...]
so last nite the beautiful val and myself went off to support theatresports stalwart megan furniss' new directed play 'Good Will Acting' at the Kalk Bay theatre, strangely enuff in Kalk Bay and had a really fun and delightingful time. you should go! no really, do it! the two part play revolves around the concept of four out of work actors (the corporate they were booked for was cancelled) during the december holidays who eventually [...]
