Let's go to the Lightning Round!

TheySlashThem

Game Shows.

Despite how long they've been around, the genre still seems to be doing pretty good.

Lately I've started watching television again, and a big part of that has been due to shit like Deal Or No Deal and Are You Smarter Than A Fifth Grader?.

Do you like game shows, SE++? Do you like seeing people do well, and feel good about their successes? Do you like seeing people make themselves look incredibly foolish in front of millions of people, being the sadist that you are?

Perhaps most importantly, do you like... Plinko?

How're you?

Who Wants to be a Millionaire? was a phenomenon back in the day, fourth or fifth grade. I remember when that IRS guy was the first to win, and he called his dad using his lifeline just to show off. And I remember me and all my friends screaming at the TV when someone got a Pokemon question wrong, claiming that Jigglypuff was not real.

Other than that, it's pretty much just Double Dare and Legends of the Hidden Temple, as far as I can recall. Oh, and I've gotten into Jeopardy in the time I've been at college.

I love Plinko

When I saw Less Than Jake, they did the whole show as a Price is Right parody

With a Plinko board to choose the album they would play songs off of

It was gay

But Price is Right is pretty great.

suprisingly, no

I was actually watching AYSTAFG? about an hour or so ago and thought this would make a good topic for a thread.

as for whether or not it actually is a good topic I am using the fact that bogey didn't lock the thread outright as my exibit a

Clint Eastwood

Oh boy, lightning round!

TheySlashThem

although skull man did just remind me that there was in incredibly short-lived YDKJ game show

paul reubens hosted it

I think it only lasted for something like four episodes

Sheri

I used to have dreams about Legends of the Hidden Temple.

I think I watched it too much

Also enjoyed exploring things too much

Nobody ever fucking won Legends of the Hidden Temple.

Fucking Temple Guards always jumped in when you didn't have any life pendants left and fucked up your Christmas.

Sorry kid, you lose, here's a Super Soaker and a pair of Reeboks now get the fuck out of the studio.

Bogey

Veretas: Whoa! What is that for?

Clint Eastwood

I always wanted to be one of the kids on that show

I would totally put the monkey together right.

Octopus Melody

I got an Xbox 360 recently and the most fun I've had with it so far has been playing Smash TV, which is what inspired watching Running Man.

Jimothy

Marc, we're gonna take the physical challenge!

Skull Man

oh man I would have been so bad at that show

my memory for names and dates is terrible so I would have been shitty at that part

also I was the least coordinated kid due to some really weird stuff going on with irregularly high bone density on my left side, I would often just fall down to my left while walking

TheySlashThem

I'll take your physical challenge!

Einhander

I had the rules for a Legends of the Hidden Temple drinking game somewhere, I'll see if I can find them.

Einhander

Legends of the Hidden Temple:

* Start with 6 players (or team up with a friend to make 6 teams of 2) and choose a team before the show begins. If your playing with 2 people, choose who will drink first. At this point, betting on your team making it to the "Temple" is optional.

* Rule Number 1, and the most important rule, drink for the whole duration that Olmec is speaking.

* In Round 1, called the "Moat", wait until the gong sounds to start drinking. When a player reaches the halfway point in the "Moat", stop drinking and your partner will begin to drink (if you are playing with just 6 people, then keep drinking at this point.) Drink until your team properly hits and sounds the gong. At this point, wait for the rest of the teams to finish. After Round 1, two teams are eliminated.

* In Round 2, called the "Steps of Knowledge", drink every time your team does not move down a block. If your team does move down, do not drink. Continue this until there are 2 teams at the bottom steps.

* In Round 3, called the "Temple Games", drink everytime the opposing team scores a point in a game. (The reason for this is you hope that the opposite team scores less than your team, so you drink less.) After the 3 temple games, the team with the fewest Pendants of Life finishes their drink completely.

* Now that one team is left to conquer the "Temple", there is no drinking competition left and the game ends. If everybody chose to bet at the beginning, the person who's team is entering the "Temple" wins the pot.

Fandyien

that game kicked ass

it had a crazy button you could push to shake the bridge right

Clint Eastwood

that game of yours sounds dangerous, einhander

not unlike the csi: MIAMI drinking game

TheySlashThem

seriously, that moat business could go on for several minutes if the kids did really badly
