Episode 75: VCR Golf


No windmills or pirates here; we're playing the purest form of golf...VCR Golf! In this late 80's title, players must choose between using sure-thing club cards in their hand, or testing their VCR pausing skills with the video tape in order to shave the most strokes off their game. Is this version of the ancient game as exciting as playing real golf, or is it as exciting as watching real golf? Plus: in the Battle of Wits, we peer into the future...

Episode 74: Clarissa Explains it All


Prop your ladder against our window and climb into our game room as we take on Clarissa Explains it All from 1994! In this notably slimeless entry from Nickelodeon, Clarissa Darling guides up to 6 players on their journey to finally get the car they've always wanted. Players earn car keys by getting into each-others' heads and answering Clarissa's well-explained questions, all while avoiding the dangers of parents and little brothers and predicting the answers to survey questions posed to kids who may or may not exist. Does this game earn its license, or will it be stuck at home with Fergwad forever?

Episode 73: America's Funniest Home Videos


Before there was a YouTube, and we had ready access to people injuring themselves from all over the world 24 hours a day, America relied upon network television to deliver a weekly dose of poorly shot fail videos. This week we're playing the America's Funniest Home Videos VCR game, where players test their memory, creativity, and social savvy while watching hundreds of the "funniest" video clips the 1990s had to offer. Can the panel successfully remember minute details of blurry, VHS quality clips? Will Bob Saget's running commentary provide any assistance? Plus, we go shopping in this week's Battle of Wits...

From the desk of Your Moderator, Chris...


Artist's Rendering of Your Moderator...

Hi, everyone! Just a quick note to let everyone know that I'll be a little harder to find over the next six weeks. My wife is undergoing knee surgery, and that means I'll be busy caring for her and for our newborn as she rehabs and recovers. Some of you already know this, and we both appreciate all of your well wishes thus far.

That said, the show will go on as usual. I have our next two episodes about 95% complete, save the few final touches I add just before they go out. So you won't miss our usual wacky hijinx. However, I will be less present on our social media, and I'll have to put any business inquiries (such as donation requests, interview requests, and other such email) on the back burner for a while. If you get "10,000 points," this may also take some additional time for delivery as I'll have to farm that out to my fellow panelists to send out. Thanks ahead of time for your patience.

I'll still be checking in on Facebook, Twitter, and BGG from time to time, and the remaining panel will be around to say "Hello." I encourage all of you to keep the conversation going on our social media, as the Flipster community are some of the most entertaining people to talk to! I look forward to reading your comments on our forthcoming episodes.

BANCE,
-YMC

It's a special two-game episode filled with longing stares and fingers bent into the shapes of hearts! First, the panel takes on Justin Bieber: Always Be Mine...where players must be willing to do anything to earn the attention of the pop idol! Does anyone in the panel have what it takes to turn Justin's finely coiffed head? Then, it's Justin Bieber: Backstage Pass...a trivia game where players must prove their mastery of Justin Bieber minutiae in order to claw their way to a backstage meet-and-greet with "The Bieb" himself!
