The Chase

I was told yesterday's episode was good - so, I watched it. And I wasn't disappointed!

A solo player won £70,000

I'm trying to remember how that show works. I know the way you win money, I'm just trying to remember how people on a team get eliminated. >.<

After their cash builder and the participant chooses whichever amount they want for the individual chase, they have to answer a number of questions to temporarily keep the amount of money they've banked on (you know that bit). If they get an answer wrong and the chaser gets that correct, the chaser's position on the center board closes in on the player. If the chaser moves on to the player's position before they win their amount, they've been caught and are eliminated.

Bought Wacky Races Complete Collection on DVD, and have been watching some of that. Ah, good times. I forgot Dastardly gains the lead at the start of an episode so many times, thought it would be more instances of him moving up in the race (via what his car can do, plus other methods) or stopping the others when ahead.  Still a great cartoon.

Good fun to watch, even if there wasn't a one-legged man this week. (There was, however, a Trump impersonator, who didn't get very far!)

Avengers: Endgame

I shared some of my thoughts about it in the Marvel thread.

Yesterday, exactly the same as above. Avengers: Endgame.

Didn't watch Captain Marvel, didn't really need to.

Went to a screening of Batman & Robin earlier tonight, fun times were had.

Also went to Batman Returns & Forever last week, they had special screenings for Batman's 80th Anniversary this year. Missed Batman 89 though.

Finished yesterday's stream this morning since I was falling asleep (from tiredness, not the stream being boring). I'm so sad that he didn't get the sub 3-hour run of Yoshi's Crafted World he wanted in the end. He was on track for it but lost to the tilt in the Cog level (which was one of the last levels) and wound up missing red coins, which caused him to replay the level again after he restarted the level during tilt. His sum of best segments is 2:51:xx, but that game is so brutal at punishing any mistakes that it's such a struggle to get it all accurately in one run.

On TV: NCIS. Been taking to watching this after work as it's on from 2PM to 3PM when there's nothing else to watch while eating my lunch. Seen Miami and Los Angeles, but prefer NCIS out of the three. Yet to have watched any JAG though.

Oh, hold on I wasn't watching that yesterday, as it was a Saturday and I couldn't be bothered to change the channel from Lewis.

Twitch: Watching (kind of, it's in the background) Qudans (Tekken player) play against someone offline on Tekken 7. Apparently they're called Strawberry, I'm not familiar with them.

Guardians of the Galaxy: Volume 1

Some of the tennis from the French Open. I expect I'll be watching little else for the next couple of weeks, in all honesty .

You a tennis fan Kyng or you just watching it because it's dominating all the TV programming?

The Canadian Grand Prix.

I don't want to spoil this for anyone who hasn't watched yet, but anyone who has seen it will know what I'm talking about when I say:

M$'s E3. I'm watching Bathesda atmo with Jing. :3

Not exactly the last thing I watched, but it was the best thing I watched from the various Catherine Tate Show stuff I was watching with Shira.

Did any other Brits here ever watch this show?
