MST3K Kickstarter Livestream


 For the last week or so Mystery Science Theater 3000 has been doing livestreams nearly every night. It's been amazingly consistent and has given me a sudden abundance of nightly entertainment. Most of the streams have featured the new(er) cast watching classic episodes, something that didn't sound like much at first but turned out to be way more hilarious and enjoyable than I had hoped. One stream was the cast playing Jackbox games like quiplash and so forth,which, again was fantastic. I decided not to post them all on ye olde blog because each is 2 hours and it was nightly so it just seemed like too much content.

But now this is the last day of the Kickstarter and there is one more livestream to close it out. The stream starts tonight at 6PM Eastern. The Kickstarter, by the way, has already reached every goal and so the new season will be a full 12 episodes. One interesting bit of news is that they will be renting out a theater to have a live "Grand Finale" showing of the last episode of the season. And the location of the live event just so happens to be in the Philadelphia area. 

So anyways, all goals have been met so tonight's livestream stream will be about piling on, maybe some additional goals or episodes, maybe some additional bonus rewards and probably some surprise guests. Check it out if you have a free night and you're into that sort of thing.

Let's Game It Out - The Theme Park That Ends Reality

 One time me and a friend were hanging out and playing The Sims and we created a few creative ridiculous torture scenarios for the AI. The one that sticks out was: we built a house as an elaborate labyrinth (literally) where at the edge of the house was a single room with a coffee machine and at the middle of the labyrinth was the only toilet. In case it's not obvious, the Sim would drink coffee, have to pee and have to have to navigate a maze to reach the bathroom.

It was so funny at the time and it's a great memory. But I never thought I could turn that unique experience of sadistic silliness into a career...

Happy Don Beveridge Day

 

Happy Don Beveridge Day, May 1st, everyone. As it is still a new holiday, the exact tradition of celebration is not entirely settled. Some say you eat bagels, some suggest ice cream. Some people ask themselves, "Do you think we're going to get smoothies?"

My preference, and what I plan to do today, is to order and consume a Burger King Whopper - I will tell the crew to push the Whopper Button.
