Internet Game Show (Beta 2)
Recently I’ve been hanging out in IRC and re-purposing some old Hak5 live equipment for what I’ve called the Internet Game Show. Yeah, I suck at names. Regardless, this little project is far from professional but fun indeed.
Here’s my second attempt. It’s the returning champion from Ireland Rkiver vs the new challenger from the USA, GCS8.
Beta 2 had better production values over Beta 1, but the power-ups resulted in epic fail on my part hosing. Next time we’ll nix the weapons and simply keep the life-lines. Ask IRC, 15 seconds to Google, and probably phone a friend.
I’ll also be putting an odd number of questions into each category as to give each contestant an alternating chance to choose a category. We may also go with a losers-choice approach.
It’s difficult to come up with something fair and engaging while not relying on a “buzzer” considering Internet lag.
Also I think I rambled too much in the start of the show. Next time there will likely be a warm up round to set the stage before we even meet the contestants to introduce the life-lines.
Looking forward to suggestions and critiques but keep in mind I’m not taking this too seriously, this is just for fun.
