I wish they'd bring back Raoul though. He was the best host, man.

Whoo, power's back! Getting ready to write. Thank god I go to bed at 4 AM, eh?


Also, who here remembers "You Don't Know Jack"? It's an awesome PC game that plays like a game show with ridiculous pop culture questions, acerbic and sarcastic hosts (who were ridiculously well-voiced, not even kidding), and the ability to 'screw' your opponent and force them to answer the question.

Well, over on the official site, here, they have mini-versions of the games, hosted by the ever lovable/loathable Cookie. There are 7-question episodes and an archive of their old Daily Dis or Dats. You should really go check them out. They're a ton of fun and you should check them out. DisOrDats only take two minutes to play and episodes should only take ten minutes. Unless you suck.

Why am I telling ya'll this? Partly to share my love of one of my all-time favorite games.

Partly because I'm starting to ship Cookie/Player. I mean, COME ON! He's so damn personable and he mocks you so lovingly.... GAH! :puts head on desk:

....

:plays one more game with Cookie:

Oh my God, I haven't played "You Don't Know Jack" in YEARS, but my brother and I both loved it, and I mentioned it randomly the other day, asking if he remembered it. Thank you so much for those links, I will definitely be checking them out.

I KNOW! I used to play them with my whole family as a kid. Grandma always won Movies. D: And, man, I miss Raoul. He was so wonderfully pompous and funny. ♥

Good lord, yeah I used to play "You Don't Know Jack." My friend Abbie had a PC and we would play that and um, fuck what was that ridiculous game with the fripples or whatever?

Anyway, the fact that you are shipping in a PC game of yesteryear?=WIN.

*goes to try and play*

So yeah, I don't think I'm ever going to sleep now because of you.

:D

But it's FUN, amirite? And Cookie is adorable/a total asshole, amirite? There's a DisOrDat of "is this a Clay Aiken song or a Monty Python song"! That is awesome!

It's mind-blowing, but it sometimes makes me feel absolutely stupid (and he doesn't make me feel any better about it). 'Cause I so totally can figure out what the inflation in 1975 was and then figure out what that would be in 50 cents today in 20 seconds.

OHMYGOD, I loved that game SO. MUCH.

As soon as I get home I am loading that site and spending the NIGHT there.
