Con Game Announcement.

This one isn't filtered, and it's not supposed to be. With NPLers about to leave for Con starting tomorrow, I thought I'd let the cat out of the bag. The game I'm brining for after-hours play at Con is:

Remote Control

That's right, TV pop culture, and the assorted wackiness appropriate for MTV's best game show. With some of the craziness of this month, I got behind on my planning, but everything's falling into place now, and I put my name in on the after-hour game schedules.

Now if you'll excuse me, I need to test out some questions on the filtered group.

Remote Control Update (Filtered)

Things have been rough the last few weeks, and I had to postpone a lot of trivia writing until this weekend. But when I looked at things this morning, I realized I had almost enough for a basic game, which means that if I pad out a few categories, things will be just fine. I still need to record a bunch of the skits, but I've got a start on that, and I'm going to write some more before bed.

Things to be recorded (and, yes, I'm going to e-mail you today before I go to bed, thefreak): The Narcoleptic Talk Show Host (script below). A Ranger Bob standin (wacky character says wacky things for a bit and the contestant loses ten points for no real reason; to be improvised wholly by whomever records it), The Slash Channel (identify shows based on very short snippets of slash fanfic), and anything else suggested in the next day or so.

Below the cut, there's a list of the categories I have. As you can see, I focused on '80s and '90s trivia, just as the MTV version of twenty years ago focused on the '60s and '70s. I'm considering expanding The Denver Channel into a lightning round, but I need to know how the buzzers work before I do. Answers aren't listed, so feel free to use this link to post your guesses before reading the comments.
