I don't know what possessed Adam to create a completely normal lineup with a car game, a non-cash fee game that wasn't Cliff Hangers, and a quickie game in each half, but I'm certainly not complaining.
If I ever hear Drew utter or, heaven forbid,
sing the phrase, "Lovely Rob," ever again, so help me, I will reach through the television and strangle him.
I like the Bonus Game loss animation. I hope they've programmed something similar to replace that stupid win animation from a few weeks ago.
I like Gas Money, but like several other games, I'm
so sick of it being set up for a loss every time it's played.
Does it bother anyone else that the right prices in Double Cross involved not doing anything? It feels like having the first price right in Push Over, just something that shouldn't be done.
It doesn't bother me as much as the first price in Push Over being right would, but yeah, there should probably be a way to set the board so that it's not highlighting any single price on either line.
Actually, Double Cross is generally played for more expensive prizes (and rightfully so).
It also has a different game-play mechanic, which makes it easier than those games.
You'll forgive me if I don't understand how these two statements mesh with one another.
It can't be. It simply can't be. Ever since the game show scandals way back in the day a system has been put in place where a third party oversees the show to make sure no "funny business" happens. It is called "Standards and Practices" and I'm sure it knows where the Bonus is before the game starts and makes sure it stays there the whole time.
This is not the argument being made. The argument is that from the perception of a casual viewer, the new board, which is entirely computer-generated, looks like it would be easier to modify on the fly than the old one. In fact, I suspect that's probably true, regardless of whether anyone would actually
do it.
Didn't pay a whole lot of attention to most of the games due to multitasking, but I do have a comment on Cover Up... I know this is never ever going to occur to Joe Plinko on stage, but for those of us in the LFaT category, has anyone ever considered intentionally blowing the first or second number (when the first two are obvious) in order to get three guaranteed turns?
Many, many times. There are even a couple contestants who've done it (as opposed to missing the first number as a result of being stupid, which has also happened).
#6411 - Cover, Rangey, Danger, Switch?, Gassy, H-L. WWWWLW (a de facto 6313K stopgap)
#6333 - Cover, Sidey, Bonus, Crossy, H-L, Gassy. LWLWLL
Appreciate Bonus, but otherwise so so lazy. And I dunno, regular SP AND GP in the same show doesn't work when the two car games are hard, and all four are lost. Wasted show.
I, for one, did not miss this in those two weeks during which you weren't posting.
