I keep meaning to grab the game list, but I always forget, and, therefore, always forget the games list. Blarg.

I thought it was a better show than we've been having, but part of that was because the audience was ridiculously good, so it's hard to focus on what went wrong, because they pretty much enjoyed everything. But I think energy was up, and that it was more enjoyable than the past few shows.

I'll agree that the mash-up failed pretty hard, but, man, that was a tough game! I still think it was cool to try it, even if it went like Icarus.

I think that having dedicated people out front is what should be happening, and I'm surprised that Eric's sister has been as generous as she has. There were far too many people on the stage, which was disappointing because I only got like, 5 games or something. In that regard, I was PISSED when I heard that Jason was allowing Charlie to guest in the show, but my anger quickly dissapated as he rocked the games he was in! He was a great team player, and it was enjoyable. There were still far too many people in the show, though.

One observation: Warren did well this show. Dunno if it was the holiday spirit or what, but he wasn't negative and such like he has been in the past.

In regards to "However, I still think we suffer in our scene games (limited for this show, moving bodies and freudian slips being an example) from lack of clear direction." - what do you mean, exactly? I was in it, and I can tell you that I've noticed I have an issue with 'forcing it'. Like, I'm in these scenes that aren't going anywere, and I try to force it to go somewhere (last show, this was what happened with New Choice with Rich). I put out an offer immediately, which was Joe Miller is trying to get a deal with the devil. Then the scene turned into a talking heads sort of thing, so I tried to force it to go somewhere. I started forcing an objective, and eventually brought someone else in. I'm not sure what I can do to avoid this. And I don't know if it's blatantly obvious that I'm doing this, or how much the scenes suck, because I haven't watched a replay - but really, I'm just trying to take things in a more interesting direction, and what seems to be happening is that I'm taking too long and the scenes get cut off.

And fucking Family Dinner. If I am an animal again for that goddamned game, imma KILLLLZZZZZZZ. Although, that's about the only thing I got compliments for, so, well, fuck life. I hate dogs.

Thanks for the compliment, John; you rocked the hosting, especially since it's been so long for you. It is a good role for you (not that you're bad at scenes or anything).
