Chips Ahoy!

I watched a game show called Duel tonight. I've played something similar online before, but I'm not sure what the name of the game I played was.

It's an interesting spin on a trivia game. You have 10 chips. For each multiple choice question, you can cover as many answers as you have chips to play it safe. If you use four chips, you'll get it right and lose three of them. Once your chips are gone, you lose. Or something like that.

So if you know the answer, you can use one chip while your opponent might not know it and play four, losing three of them. After beating a person and given an opportunity to double your money with only one chip and one choice for a question, you can quit or take on another opponent.

I don't think it's going to take off like some of these prime time game shows have been lately (I really wish they'd get Jeff Foxworthy off the air), but it's another one that's funt o play along with at home.

I was going to play a game at ABC.com but I don't want to register.

Friday... Amnesia


So, I watched Amnesia. Not a bad show. Dennis Miller is a lot funnier and more likable when he isn't trying to show off his intelligence. "What, like I've had so much experience feeding men?" is a lot funnier to me than all his analogies that I don't get. He still gets to do his thing at the beginning of the show a little bit, so everybody wins. It was a fun watch, and nothing much else is on Fridays, so I may watch again. I sure as hell would rather watch that than Jezebel James (See below...).
