You want some happy news? Here's some for ya. (And this is the happy news I eluded to in my last topic.)
I'M A GAME SHOW CHAMPION!
Yes, after all my games that I've done around here with you guys, and my talk of trying to get on one of these shows some day, I finally did it.
It's a small victory, mind you, as I won $250. But it's a legitimate win, and the feeling is still just as great as if I won 1000 times that much. Glory takes precedence here.
On the weekends, I am a regular watcher of GSN's late-night interactive game show Playmania. The concept is simple: They put up a simple trivia question or game on the screen, and people who wish to play can enter into the game by texting, calling a 900 number or filling out an online entry (my preference, since it's the only free one). If your entry is accepted, you're put into the pool of players for that game, and if you're chosen, they call you back to answer the puzzle for cash.
5 weeks ago, that's exactly what happened. The game was "Quiznation 5", which is like Family Feud but without the survey. The subject: Brangelina Films - Movies which star Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie or both. At the point when I was called, only 2 of the preselected answers were left unrevealed. The board read like this:
OCEAN'S ELEVEN
MR. & MRS. SMITH
?
?
LARA CROFT: TOMB RAIDER
What stinks is that those were all three of the answers I was gonna say. So when the phone rang, I had to jump on imdb.com and dig up filmographies quick. But I lucked out.
Before I give my answer, anyone wanna try? (All kudos may be given as well.)
Too early to rack my mind for movie facts, but congratulations on the win, whammy man. I only assume this will fuel your love for entering more game shows.
...so people can win those things.
Well done Whammy! Never give up the quest to be a gameshow champion.
If you think I'm settling on just this, no way, man! As the old song says, "This could be the start of something big."
I'll give my response before I go to sleep tonight.
Had to, sorry
Awesome.

SH must of drunk the blood of Psxphile when we wern't looking.
... *gasp*
Oh my God, that trophy is just too much. Thank you, Shadow.
In any case, for the curious, I was REALLY looking in the right place on Brad's filmography, because I said Se7en, and it was good for $250.
What made it the right place was that I THOUGHT about saying the film he did right after that, Interview with a Vampire, but thought against it at the last moment. And the other film on the list turned out to be the one he did right BEFORE Se7en: Twelve Monkeys.
Either way, I've got the glory, a little cash to go with it, and a framed photocopy of the check sent to me by GSN. Now I just need somewhere to hang it...
hey, good for you! ^^
i don't feel tempted to enter into any of the TV competition things over here, as there's usually no free option to enter, plus the whole rigged quiz scandal we've had recently has only helped to put me off further.
Congratulations on your win!
