…and you’re subjected to another video of me in the process. Funny, this seems more like punishment for you guys than anything.
But I digress – CFD! has indeed passed a major milestone. 5 months online and 500 posts (this is number 500 in case you haven’t guessed) is a pretty big deal for a guy who’s never had a project last longer than a couple of months. And it’s all thanks to you guys.
Anyway, enough rambling. Watch the clip, where I explain the site tweaks you’ve been seeing, how you can help support the site and what you can expect to see for the near future. I even managed to keep it all in one video this time! Amazing!
I don’t watch much regular tv; this is not news to anyone who knows me. Besides the occasional program here or there on basic cable and Adult Swim on Cartoon Network, about the only “mainstream” program I watch on network television is The Office. So when I heard about the 1 vs. 100 beta on Xbox Live I wasn’t immediately aware that it was based on an existing game show.
I love trivia/quiz shows; this is not news to anyone who knows me. My ex can tell you of my fanatical love for Jeopardy in years past and my frustration at never having been able to try out for the show.
When I stumbled onto the 1 vs. 100 beta the other day, I decided to give it a try, more out of boredom and curiosity than any real desire, as I didn’t really know what to expect.
I really, really, really almost wish I’d never found this thing, because I can see this eating up a lot of my time.
The other night, during the Extended Play beta session, which doesn’t follow the typical show format and goes with a prolonged mass trivia session instead, I ended one match in 8th place. Mind you, this was 8th out of 50,000+ people. At one point, I was as high as 2nd place, but a couple of bad answers in a row dropped me down. Boo.
So yeah – if any readers/staff out there want to join up as a party for 1 vs. 100’s beta, I’m all for it. First three people to hit me up are in for any given night. My gamertag on XBL is ShadowPraxis13 – just send me a message first if I don’t already have you on my friends list so I know who you are. Don’t forget, you have to be an XBL Gold member to play. Check the blades on the dashboard to find showtimes and so on.
Okay, so this would have been posted much sooner had Youtube not been down for maintenance when it was originally ready. We had to split this into two parts to fit the time limit as well – part two is under the cut.
I could have just typed all this up, but it goes somewhat contrary to the goal we’re setting forth, so you all get subjected to my face and voice instead. Soak up the horror!
Also, please ignore the bad jump cuts – I just got this camera and had to compile the video from several different takes. We’ll try to be a bit more professional in the future.
